Whether you’re just getting started with a credit repair business or you’ve been at it for a while, questions about technique and process will ALWAYS pop up.
And, that’s a good thing!
Questioning the process means you’re curious, and always trying to better yourself and your entrepreneurial endeavors. Actually, that forever student mentality is a key ingredient to successful business ownership!
I first started learning about credit repair in 2002, before the days when you could find literally anything with a quick Google search. So, I worked with what I had...books! Yeah, from like an actual library and bookstore. And I read, and read, and read until my eyes crossed.
I soaked up every piece of information that came at me like a sponge. I found ways to take the ideas I learned and make something uniquely mine from them.
In the more than 20 years that I’ve been at it, I still look to credit repair books and resources for tips and techniques that shape my business. And I recommend that you do the same!
We are in this wonderful era of information abundance, so, use it to your advantage! Challenge yourself to read a new business book or resource every month for the next 6 months, and see how it transforms your entrepreneurial journey.
Let me help you get started! Here are some credit repair books that include awesome takeaways about our industry, and insights about the Credit Heroes that help us grow the community the right way!
