Weakness Is Strength

It’s intuitive to think of a weakness as a liability. A tennis player with a weak backhand, for example, would naturally worry that his opponent will exploit his weakness. He must play to his strengths and work on his weak points. Otherwise, he will be wiped off the court.

In this episode of Mortgage Broker Acceleration, James Veigli and Ash Playsted explain why a fundamental mindset shift is required. Tune in to discover why brokers don’t need to worry about their weaknesses (and what they should be doing instead).
