I thought to myself here is my chance to steal a bit of media so I e-mailed the columnist who answered the question. In addition i searched for more of these expert forums. In doing so I can across Dr. Don Taylor of Bankrate.com. Dr. Don writes a column on bankrate discussing and answering everything financial. While I never heard back from the MSNBC columnist, Dr. Don wrote me back in a quick manor. After a few weeks this was published  ‘Mortgage Accelerator’ loans come to U.S. I had no clue what I was in for. For the next few weeks my office could not answer phones fast enough.

But this odd question continued to be asked, “Can I offer this product?” I would politely ask if they have a mortgage license and the conversation would end with a “NO.” After about the 50th call like this I finally had someone ask me if this was the same as the Money Merge Account. I had no clue what they were talking about. So as a good business person I Googled the name and found there was a live presentation that night right in my town of San Diego, CA. I quickly got dressed in a pair of board shorts, t-shirt, sandals and a backwards hat and headed out the door for a recon mission.

That night Mac Saunders, Director of Sales and Don Jorgenson, Co-Founder gave the presentation for local agent Keith Eisberg. Unfortunately for Keith, Mac and Don had to leave and catch a plane back to Utah. Keith was left to answer questions and unfortunately was a fairly new agent with UFirst. To make a long night short I answered many of the questions that night. Upon completion of the event I asked Keith how to get started. He gave me his card and said to call. I was so anxious I called Keith the night and for some reason he said that this business was not right for me.

Well I embarked on a journey to find a sponsor and back to Google I went. The first person I found was on myspace.com and had his number posted. Jarrett Holmes out of North Carolina was the next up. Jarrett answered his phone and instantly was brutally honest with me. He said I am brand new and cannot answer your questions. So Jarrett put me in touch with Richard Schaffer and after a few days and hours of conversations later I was set to fly to Florida to meet Richard, Jarrett and the owners of United First Financial.

The rest is history and today I am proud to be associated with Jarrett, Rich and many other mentors. I might not be 1 of 9 Senior Executive Branch Managers in the company without this chain of events. Today, I do not know where Keith is but I can tell you I think this business is somewhat right for me and I think Jarrett could argue that point also.

But the moral of the story is at the end of the day you have no clue who has the passion and desire to make a difference. I was not then a believer that the Money Merge Account was for everyone, nor am I now I can show you real life results on what is has done for my clients and myself. I do not care what walk of life you come from or what you have or have not achieved, if you are coachable you can learn to help others get out of debt with the Money Merge Account. Donald Trump knew nothing when he was born and he still knows nothing about many things but what he focused on he succeeded at and you can do the same.

The company’s co-founders were awarded for entrepreneurial success in the financial services category; qualify for national awards

BLUFFDALE, Utah – July 3, 2008 – Skyler Witman, John Washenko, Matt Lovelady, Jonathan E. Bonnette, and Don Jorgensen of United First Financial™, a financial software services and support company, were recently awarded the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2008 Award in the financial services category in Utah. An independent panel of judges selected their work with United First Financial from a group of finalists, and the award was presented at a gala event at the Salt Palace Convention Center on June 27, 2008.

United First Financial’s (UFirst) innovative Money Merge Account™ program utilizes existing banking tools, one-on-one coaching and a Web-based software tool to help consumers pay off their mortgages and consumer debt in about one-half to one-third the time.

“When we started United First Financial, we didn’t just want to help people get out of debt and improve their financial situation eventually, we wanted to help them do it fast and with little to no change in their current spending habits,” said Skyler Witman, co-founder of UFirst. “The Money Merge Account solution has done just that, and more. It helps homeowners pay off a traditional mortgage in as little as one-half, to one-third the time, it helps clients without a mortgage eliminate other consumer debt and it helps clients without debt build wealth.”

The UFirst co-founders were among the founders of nine Utah-based companies to receive Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year regional awards. According to Ernst & Young LLP, the award recognizes outstanding entrepreneurs who are building and leading dynamic, growing businesses.

“Ernst & Young is pleased to honor outstanding business leaders such as United First Financial,” said David Jolley, Managing Partner and Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Program Director for Utah. “Winners of the Entrepreneur of the Year award build leading businesses and contribute a great deal to the communities around them. Their success helps Utah grow stronger.”

The co-founders will travel to Palm Springs, Calif. to compete for the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2008 national program Nov. 15, 2008. Award winners in several national categories, as well as the overall national Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award winner, will be announced at the annual awards. The awards are the culminating event of the Ernst & Young Strategic Growth Forum, the nation’s most prestigious gathering of high-growth, market-leading companies.
