The Kyle Area Chamber of Commerce features Encompass Lending Group, "a Texas based homegrown company whose corporate office is in Katy, Texas." Vince Collier, Residential Loan Originator, "is currently seated on the Kyle Area Chamber Board of Directors, Hays CISD Education Steering Committee, and Seton Hays Foundation for our local Hospital, along with numerous other committees in the community."
 
We posed Vince the question, "What value do you find in being a member of the Chamber?"
"I think most people miss what a chamber is all about. Too many times I hear it's about the 'me' and not the 'we'. I appreciate the Kyle Area Chamber of Commerce giving me a venue for local businesses in the community to band together towards a common goal that nourishes smart economic growth."

"Our hearts and minds are invested heavily in the people of this great state. We provide all types of Mortgage programs available to meet any of your home loan needs. We are approved lenders for VA, FHA, Conventional and USDA Rural Development Loans. Visit our website for more information about us. Encompass Lending Group."

Overcoming the Reason People Resist Change
Talking about change is easy, acceptable, even exciting. Talking and executing are two different things. Change becomes real when we have to change our own attitudes and behaviors, not until.

The wrong picture:

Change movements don't begin with painting pictures of a castle on the hill - dreams of the future.

People won't dream of bright futures
until it feels dark all around.

The right picture:

Doom and gloom in the valley always comes before gleaming castles on the hill.

Change movements begin with dissatisfaction in the present. Create want. People won't change until they want change.

Change begins with those who accept
that the present is unacceptable.
