EP 47: The Security Of A Full Time Job This conversation explores the transition from traditional employment in the banking sector to self-employment in the mortgage industry. It highlights the perceived security of working for a bank versus the control and flexibility that comes with being self-employed. The discussion emphasizes the importance of building relationships and investing in oneself to create a sustainable career in the mortgage business. Takeaways There is a common misconception about job security in banks. Self-employment offers more control over one's schedule. Job security can be an illusion; companies can change unexpectedly. In the mortgage industry, you control your own income. Investing in yourself leads to long-term benefits. Building relationships is crucial in the mortgage business. Your reputation and connections are yours to keep. Effort in networking pays off significantly. Transitioning to self-employment requires a mindset shift. Not everyone is suited for immediate self-employment. Sound bites "You own that effort that you put in." "You need to bet on yourself." "It's not for everybody right away."
