Phil Dushey, an Original Member Leasing News Advisory Board

Phil Dushey is one of the founding Leasing News Advisory Board members, serving since July 10, 2000. He participated in all telephone conference calls, meetings, and in the early days, dinners. We value his outspoken contributions. He was one of the first to "complain" about the text format, the layout, always asking for photographs, graphics, html, to look better on line than we were; a "medium is the message" strong advocate.

Perhaps he is also now one of our proudest advisors as we have become what he originally wanted us to look like. It was basically a matter of "abilities" and investment of time and money and prodding from such advisors as Phil Dushey.

He wants you to become the best your are, and it reflects in his business, personal life, as indicated in his response to four questions:

1. What is the biggest issue you face in your business?
“The biggest issue we face is keeping on top current market conditions and most important our lenders. In this market the lenders have some very innovative programs, which translate to high earnings. I have always said if you know your lenders and only market to clients that they can fund you can not do anything but succeed.”

2. What advice would you give to a young person entering the business today?
“The advice I would give to a new person entering this field is to tell everyone they know what they are doing. This includes friends ,family, everyone they have done business with and everyone they do business with. The most important thing is to define yourself, which means taking all your lenders programs and combine them together and come out with ‘Your Program’ so you are important.”

3. To what do you attribute your success?
“A friend coined a phrase that sum’s up why I have been successful in my career.  ‘Successful People Do What Unsuccessful People Do Not Do’ I am relentless in my pursuit of success and never let anyone or anything gets between me and that dream. Also if you govern your life with a very high level of integrity you usually succeed.

4. What is one big thing that hope to do before you die?
“ The most important thing in the world to me is my family. Material things are really not that important to me anymore. My wife of 38 years and I have been blessed to travel and live very well. I guess when my day comes and all my children and grandchildren are successful , happy and all around me then that would be great. “
