Donald Anfuso
Donald Anfuso is the visionary behind the MP4L brand. Before launching this venture, he was a VP, responsible for more than 100 employees and 15 multi-state branch locations. That experience taught him that nothing beats the quality of one-on-one service and providing a stellar customer experience. His journey in mortgages began more than two decades ago as a high school student, looking to find his niche. Since that time, he has developed a no-holds-barred work ethic that has made him one of the go-to names in the mortgage industry. His expertise is what sets him apart and it allows him to position his clients for the best possible experience. It’s that approach that empowers him to become their Mortgage Professional 4 Life!
Episode
Success is a journey, not a destination. Along the way, there are lessons learned from triumphs and defeats that make it all the more fulfilling. No two journeys are alike, but there are kernels of wisdom that can be derived from others even though their paths are different. Being available and realizing when an opportunity is being presented is often the most critical component of success – something our guest today can attest to.
“What good is money and success if you have no time to enjoy it?’ – Donald, (6:10).
Coming out of high school, a chance encounter set Donald Anfuso on the road to servicing others through mortgages. He didn’t know that would be his life calling, but when he got the call, he listened and never looked back. Today, he’s the driving force behind MP4L, a mortgage firm based in New Jersey. Donald sits down with Bobby to discuss his start, the lessons he has learned along the way, what drives him, the importance of the customer experience, and where he sees himself going from here.
“When there’s something that I love and it motivates me, it’s not work anymore.” – Donald, (08:42).
This is an amazing conversation filled with transparency, wisdom, and truth. If you’ve been on the fence wondering if you have what it takes to make your dreams a reality, sit back and listen to Donald and his story and get the fuel you need to move forward. Donald Anfuso, today on Business Unchained!
“The consumer experience is really the most important thing ever.” – Donald, (12:41).
