For many of us we are quarantined at home and working from home but have found we have extra time during the day. While I recommend that time be spent with family and maybe getting some exercise to lose those pounds you have been saying you wanted to lose for some time, This is also a time to focus on personal development.For those who invest in notes, are you taking any steps to further your personal development ?
some recommendations that I have found to be beneficial are:
1. Take a class on debt collection practices. ACA international has a self paced online class for around $99.
2. Study for a MLO license. Whether or not you obtain it is up to you (I recommend you do as I feel in the future it will be needed in more states for licensing). You will learn the ins and outs of Dodd frank and the origination process on what you can and cannot do.
3. Listen to podcasts, videos and audiobooks. I recommend a book on finance - it will assist also if you are looking to build a calculator. The books I am getting ready to read/listen too are influence and pre-suasion by Robert cialdini, zero to one by Peter thiel and mastering the Rockefeller habits by Verne harnish.

@Jamie Bateman Haha, we finally gave in and bought a PS4. We've resisted buying videogames for the kids for the longest time but this extended time at home has justified it. We wanted to get a Switch but those are ALL gone already. No Xboxes at CostCo, only 4 PS4s left so I picked one up.
What games do you recommend for an 8 yr old and two 6 yr olds? We're looking for a racing game with 4 split screens. Garfield Cart?

We just bought Garfield Kart for this very reason, to have all 4 of us playing at once. It seemed to get some of best reviews around. My wife has already started making excuses for not winning, though, so buyer beware. :-)

I bought Rich Dad Poor Dad cashflow game. It is fun playing that game while learning how to manage money. My mother-in-law is also excited to play that game.

@Prabhu Babu - Where'd you buy Cashflow? I'm thinking about buying it to play with my teenagers, but it's expensive for a board game and being that they're teenagers I don't know how it'll go over.
