Breakthrough with Chris Medellin

Opening Quote: "... Or so I had to figure it out on my own. And I've learned it through coaching. I've learned that you know, what are the successful people doing day in, and day out to be successful? And so I now want to help others be successful and let people know that, you know, sometimes it's just a choice that you make and it's the habits, those daily habits..."

What does breakthrough mean and why am I changing the name?

Well, the reason is a breakthrough is about finding your voice and building confidence, and believing in yourself to take your business and take yourself to the next level. And I want to share with you stories from remarkable people who have broken through and have taken it to the next level. But I also want to emphasize people who are in a business that are diverse and people in business who have been through severe adverse situations in life.

"Understanding and accepting what is within your control and what is not within your control. I cannot control societal norms, prejudices, and dharmic systems that are designed to discriminate against certain subsets of populations and war to privilege an advantage to others. That is out of my control. What I can control is creating a positive impact"

OPENING QUOTE:

"To trust in you. That's where the business comes in so much easier than when they don't trust. They will trust you more than their lender. For some reason, they went with their lender, but that trust isn't there still, because the person knows this person is making a commission from me. That's why they're answering my call. Minh is answering my messages and he's not getting paid from me. Okay. I want Minh to make commission then."

 - Minh Nguyen

GUEST BIO:

"Minh has been in the mortgage industry since 2003, he has had many good days, as well as, many bad days. He has won and has lost. But year after year, he has learned how to minimize failure and maximize his success. His goal for creating this page is to share some of that knowledge with you. To help educate, empower, and inform you on how mortgages work and how to survive and thrive in the mortgage industry, so you can build a successful career as well. The idea of What's A Mortgage started back in 2017 when a consumer asked me, "what is a mortgage?" I immediately realized there was such a lack of information and education regarding the home buying process. This inspired me to solve that problem by creating a platform where I can use my experience to train, inform, and educate consumers like YOU!"

OPENING QUOTE:

"So the way I saw when I first started in real estate, it was always that needle in a haystack.  I get my license and I realize that all I have to do is the same thing I was doing before my license. And when I got my license, I don't know what happened. I don't know if it was the part of letting go that changed everything and allowed better energy into my life..."
