Last night on FOX Business News…

The Entrepreneur’s Secret on FOX Business News…

In case you missed it last night, I was able to get a clip of my appearance on The Willis Report. It was great to talk with Gerri Willis live on-air (even if we did end up talking over each other a couple times J). I got to share a few insights from my book as well as some practical things small business owners can do to build wealth for themselves in today’s economy.

Small Business Lending: 2012 Year In Review…

Well, it’s taken me 17 days to get my act together and update you on how Mercantile did in 2012, but the numbers are finally in. We said all along that last year was going to be a record-shattering one for us, and we were proven right.

Do YOU believe?

The end…of disbelief…

As entrepreneurs, we have an instinctive ability to suspend our disbelief in certain situations and ponder what could be or what might be. We refuse to listen to the voices that tell us something is impossible or unachievable. That’s why I was a bit dismayed when my son recently said he’s starting to get skeptical about the existence of Santa Claus.

To find out what parental measures I took to remedy this…AND to hear a very special holiday message from a very special someone…go to www.504blog.com/disbelief.

Once again, all of us here at Mercantile wish you and yours a Very Merry Christmas!

Holiday Wishes and Merry Christmases…

‘Tis the Season, right?

This is the time of year when we make a point to remember the people who make it possible to do what we do — you and others like you. We have a clearly stated mission: to help small business owners create wealth through commercial property ownership by providing the smartest financing possible…and this is something we’re very passionate about.

World’s youngest entrepreneur…

What does this two-year-old girl know that you don’t?

I got an email the other day from Angela, who works in our loan closing department. She included a picture of her daughter, Kayla, who has taken to carrying around my new book with her. Angela said she even reads to Kayla from the book every now and then.

Now, Kayla’s only two years old, so she’s probably not actually processing how she can apply what I write about in my book and create wealth for herself. At least, not yet.

Wealth Wednesday 2012…

Entrepreneurs deserve a day for themselves, right?

Since we’ve had Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday, and Giving Tuesday, I’m claiming today for all entrepreneurs as WEALTH WEDNESDAY. When small business owners make smart decisions about wealth creation, jobs are created and our economy grows stronger as a whole. On this Inaugural Wealth Wednesday, take a minute to consider what you can do to create wealth for yourself — for the sake of your business and all the people who depend on your business (your family, employees, customers, etc.).

Go to www.504blog.com/wealthwednesday to read more about this impromptu holiday-of-sorts.

Wishing you a Happy, Productive, and Successful Wealth Wednesday!

Chris

P.S. Be sure to share this with as many people as possible, and use the hashtag #wealthwednesday when you talk it up on Twitter. Thanks!

FOX News Interview via Skype…

I’m no technological wizard…

Around the office, I’ve earned a reputation as the “black hole of technology.” Gadgets and devices just don’t seem to get along with me all the time, and I’m thankful that I work with some more tech-savvy people who don’t mind helping when my phone or computer decide to rebel. Today is a victory for me, however. I was invited to appear on FOX News this morning, and I had to use Skype to do the interview due to my travel
