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.
Meanwhile – would you like to celebrate International Pay It Forward Day?
A good way to start would be to visit or re-visit the movie in which a teacher (played by Kevin Spacey) gives his class an assignment: “Think of an idea to change our world change and put it into action”.
Clip #1 below gives an overview of the movie. Clip #2 shows what happens when 12 year old Trevor McKinney presents his idea to the class. It might remind you of what happens when you share a new idea with your team or try to get them to believe in a goal or possibilities for the future.
Share these clips with your colleagues, friends and family members. Or grab some popcorn and Milk Duds and watch the full version.
What a lovely reminder to Pay It Forward at while at work and play!
How might this play out in the real world? Here are a few examples that Jim shared in his mailer:
You can find more real life stories at the official Pay It Forward Day website.
The possibilities are endless. And powerful.
And as Jim reminded us on his mailer:
Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.
