Do you ever wonder where your time goes during the day? Well here is an eye opening mortgage training exercise you should try:

For one full day, write down what you are doing every 15 minutes. At the end of the day you will be amazed by how much time you spend doing non-dollar-productive activities.

Non-dollar-productive activities are activities you do day in and day out that make you zero money Like walking to the fax machine or using the copier.

In this mortgage training article youll discover how to walk into your office, do only what you enjoy doing for 2 to 4 hours and then go home. Would that improve your quality of life? Of course it would.

So how do you do that?

1) Make a list of the mortgage activities you want to do.
2) Make a list of everything you do not want to do.
3) Build a team of assistants to do all the things on your do not want to do list so you can spend all your time on the want to do items.

By the way, dont limit your lists to just business responsibilities. You can and should extend your do not want to do list to your personal life. You can hire a Personal Concierge to pick up your dry cleaning, wash your car, run errands, whatever.

Imagine how wonderful your life would be if you could spend every day only doing the things you enjoy most. Thats what life is all about.

To summarize, the basic idea here is to delegate all of your duties so you can only spend your time doing what you like best.

Heres an example of how powerful this delegation process can be:

What if you were an excellent sales person - You loved selling loans. You arrange your schedule so youre in the office from 10:00am to 12:00pm, take lunch, and return to the office for your afternoon shift from 1:00pm to 3:00pm (this is called time blocking).

Your team does everything except make closing calls. So your job during the four hours youre in the office is to make closing calls. You make 10 closing calls, sell 8 - 9 loans, and go home for the day. You just made at least $24,000 in four hours and youre done for the day!

Mortgage training team building tips

Below you will find a few pointers for hiring your assistants.

The interview process:

* Do a phone interview before meeting in person

Describe the position and your expectations.
Are they currently employed?
If so, why are they leaving their current employer?
Schedule a face to face meeting.

* Conduct 3 separate interviews on 3 different days.

* Conduct your interviews at 3 different times of the day (early morning, noon, late afternoon). You want to see how these people function at different times of the day.

* Check 3 5 business references after the first interview. Personal references are easier to falsify. So be sure to call past employers.

* Give them a DISC test after the second interview. A DISC test is a personality profile that will give you valuable insight into whether or not this candidate would be a good fit for the position and for your team. To find one of these tests search goggle.com for disc test.

Well thats it. In order to maximize the effectiveness of this system, be sure to automate as many of your teams duties as possible. Use technology and team building to your advantage and watch your production sky-rocket while cutting your time in the office to 10 hours a week.
