How do you reinvent yourself in this mortgage market?

5 tips for reinvention: (None of which cost you money)

1) Go back to your roots - what did you love when you first entered the work world as a child?
It is technology, being involved, drawing, sports - what is it?

2) Get rid of your baggage - The market will never be like it once was - accept it, get over it and work to rebuild anew with something bigger. By definition and word hsitory an economy is nomadic - constantly shifting and never staying the same. What may have been your greatest strength may now be your greatest weakness.

3) Become interested, not interesting - ask your friends how things work in their industries, ask your kids how things work at school - by asking new questions we can see new paths - but you must humble yourself to ask those questions first.

4) Evolutionary speed counts - in the game of business - if you can change, reinvent or adapt faster to new circumstances- you have the best oppotunity to win - bottom line. Make your decision to adapt faster than others.

5) Borrow life examples from others- Britney Spears, Madonna, A-Rod these are a few people who have mastered reinvention. How did they do it? How did Britney go from trainwreck to cohosting the VMA's?

Reinvention has a common DNA thread- find what works for you.
