Why Are You Starving?"},"content":{"rendered":"

I’m pretty stoked about our new contributor, Chris Johnson. I spoke with him yesterday about his new book, Loan Officer Survival Guide<\/a>. He was amazed that the two people he cited as NOT needing the book, bought it. So… why did I buy his book?<\/p>\n

I bought it for the very same reason successful people are attending the BloodhoundBlog Unchained Social Media Marketing Conference, powered by Zillow.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Greg Swann says “it’s raining soup” all the time. What he means is that because of the internet, we have all the information we need to be successful. Loan Officer Survival<\/strike><\/em> Thrival Guide<\/em><\/a> (I changed the title- deal with it, Chris) and UNCHAINED are the bowls and spoons you need to more efficiently ingest the soup.<\/p>\n

I didn’t learn one new idea from Chris’ book, just a lot of proven ones. I DID learn how to better implement the proven ideas. He’s laid them out in a “home study” format that’s as practical as scissors in a barbershop….and I’m “doing the homework”, too. It takes about 30 minutes a day to complete. The Thrival Guide<\/em> (I changed the title again, to be more encompassing) moves my actions from instinctive to purposeful.<\/p>\n

It’s raining soup and I paid fifteen bucks for a bowl and spoon, get it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, instead of standing outside with my mouth open, having soup splatter my clothes. I catch it in a basin, pour it in a bowl, and eat it when I need it. This brings me to my title. The Thrival Guide<\/a> <\/em>will be criticized just like the BloodhoundBlog UNCHAINED Social Media Marketing Conference, brought to you by Zillow.com<\/a> has been.<\/p>\n

So be it. Let ’em get splattered in the soup rain. They’ll fill up their bellies but they’ll be eating with their hands.<\/p>\n
