The American Repossessor

Change, Change and More Change… That’s What Makes the World go Around!

As the end of the year closes in, we can reflect on 2008 as a year of CHANGE…and for those that may have read my columns, will know that I am very much a CHANGE AGENT.  We have seen so much CHANGE  this year that for many it has caught them by surprise. 

CHANGE comes our way either voluntarily, as in us making the CHANGES or from external influences that we have no control over.

We only have to look at the economy to recognize that this is a CHANGE that many of us have no control over but it is up to us to embrace what comes and be pro-active in developing and growing our companies within the midst of this CHANGE.  There is something drastically wrong if repossession companies are not growing within this turmoil economy BUT having said that, there will be CHANGES in the offing that we need to be prepared for too.

The American Repossessor is not a ‘political animal’ but it cannot ignore the CHANGES that are already taking place within the Government that most definitely will impact our lives and our businesses in 2009 and beyond.  No-one can afford to standstill, be it an individual, company or government, irrespective of its location within the world and the USA is no different. 

As a super power and a world , America has to lead by example and one would hope that the CHANGES that come will ensure that not only will the world follow to ensure the stability of the world markets, finances and economies, that it will also CHANGE the war zones into peace zones.

During this year I have introduced several new areas of theamericanrepossessor.com to open up our industry and with the help of others, illustrating the diversity that is out there within the repossession world, which of course, does exist beyond the shores of our country.

If our repossession industry is growing, so are those within many other countries eg., New Zealand, South Africa, Australia, United Kingdom as many of the international articles in the International Section will verify to you.  At the same time, we have seen an explosion of growth and media coverage for our industry in the U.S. too…some good and some bad.

There is no doubt that our industry will and is having to CHANGE too as the Financial Institutions are CHANGING their attitude towards lending – some would say a little too late, but better late than never!  Unfortunately it is the ordinary people of this world that will and have experienced the outcome of that.  CHANGE is on the horizon as the Financial Institutions are forced into reviewing the  existing services and indeed, revaluating the different repossession options it provides to its debtors – and the repossession industry really does need to ‘think outside the box’ on this one – as new services will need to evolve.

2009 is literally around the corner, and it will be a time for us continue our journey of CHANGE and grow our companies into professional and quality repossession companies that you would be proud of and that many of our clients would seek to continue to do business with.
I look forward to the continuous development of theamericanrepossessor.com as I am sure you will have gathered by now, will continue to CHANGE and improve in the coming year.

Wishing you all a very Happy Christmas and a Happy New Year…
