Imagine if you improved just one percent every day. Or even if it was just one percent each week? Whether it’s enhancing your knowledge of the housing market, understanding mortgage lending, staying current on reverse mortgage regulations, or grasping the fundamentals that most financial advisors rely on—these incremental improvements could have a significant impact.?

According to the math, if you committed to improving just 1% each day, you’d be 37 times better after a year. Or more modestly, if you improved just one percent each week you would improve by 67% that year!
