April 28 is Pay It Forward Day
Thank you to Jim Enright who just reminded me with his monthly mailer that Thursday, April 28 is International Pay It Forward Day.
Jim does a really good job with this mailer. It’s simple. Printed front and back on yellow 8 1/2 X 11 card stock – cut in half. In this small amount of space, Jim reminds us of the movie Pay It Forward, shares three lovely quotes, three great pay it forward stories and a gentle reminder that he is a mortgage strategist in Chapel Hill, NC, always willing to help us, our family and friends with home financing. He even makes a special offer of free appraisal (up to $400 credit at closing) which we can’t use right now but he gave me permission to forward it to you.
So here you go - if you or someone you know is buying or re-financing, be sure to contact Jim by May 15.
Visit: www.MortgageChoice.com or contact Jim at 919-929-6116, extension 236 or Jim@TheMortgageStrategist.com.

This week’s Quick List* is a companion to our Quote of the Week: Appreciation can make a day…
Through appreciation, leaders can make a day, even change a life. And in doing one or both of those, one could expect a boost in morale, productivity, engagement, retention and overall performance.
Yet over and over and over – I hear from workers from a wide assortment of industries, professions and positions that they don’t feel appreciated. They don’t feel recognized for their contributions and achievements.
Are their leaders greedy, unappreciative mongors? Or are the leaders under-appreciated and overwhelmed themselves? Or do they think they are showing appreciation but doing it poorly? Or are these workers so hardened that the appreciation they are given sits on the surface instead of sinking in.
