Lending Perspectives: Take a cue from high school physics

While it might sound silly, understanding basic physics can help build your lending business. Just use your imagination.

My regular readers understand this about me: I try to be funny when I write. My wife likes to say I think I’m funny. I remember my high school band teacher, Mr. Cummins, liked to tell me, “You might be funny, but looks aren’t everything!”
