    745: Stuck at $10 to $15M? This Event Can Help You Find the Problem

    This is a repost of an episode I wanted to bring back because the framework is still useful for brokers trying to break through a plateau. If your mortgage business is stuck around $10 to $15 million a year, there is probably one problem you have not solved yet. In this episode, I break down the three areas that usually create the bottleneck: leads, people, and process. I also explain why I created BrokerTalks and how getting in a room with other brokers can help you identify the problem faster and leave with practical ideas to solve it. In This Episode, I Cover: The Three Problems in Every Mortgage Business - A simple framework for figuring out what is actually holding you back. Why Brokers Hit a Plateau - What usually changes when a business gets stuck around the same level for too long. How to Find the Current Bottleneck - Why the biggest problem in your business is not always the most obvious one. Why I Created BrokerTalks - The thinking behind an event built around tactical ideas and real collaboration. How the Right Room Can Help You Solve Problems Faster - Why learning from brokers who have already solved the issue can save you a lot of time. You do not need to fix everything at once. Find the biggest problem in your business right now, solve it, and then move on to the next one. — We’re bringing BrokerTalks back to Vancouver, Toronto, and Calgary this October.

    744: How to Grow Beyond Realtor Referrals - Nate Atkin ($100 Million Dollar Journey Ep. 6)

    Nate Atkin is getting close to $50 million between funded deals, approvals, applications, and pre-approvals. In this episode, we talk about the next stage of his $100 million journey: hiring an underwriter, creating new lead sources outside of real estate, and building a business that does not depend on Nate doing everything himself. We also get into local events, association marketing, white space, routines, and why the next bottleneck is usually hiding just around the corner. In this episode, we cover: Where Nate Is Now - An update on his funded volume, pipeline, and how close he is getting to the halfway mark. The Underwriter Hire - Why Nate believes this could be the decision that changes the business over the next 12 months. New Ways to Generate Leads - How he is experimenting with local events, police associations, hospitals, and other communities outside of real estate. The Next Bottleneck - Why solving one problem usually just reveals the next one, and why that is part of scaling. Building More White Space - How routines, delegation, and protecting thinking time can help Nate stay focused on growth. Nate’s next level is not about working harder. It is about buying back his time, testing new lead sources, and building the team that lets him stay focused on growth.

    743: Why You Are Not Getting The Results You Want - Coaching Call Q&A Ep. 24

    You probably already know what you need to do. The problem is not information. It is the story underneath your actions. In this solo episode, I break down the SEAR framework: Story, Emotion, Action, Result. If you are not getting the result you want in your business, health, relationships, or money, the issue may be a disempowering belief that is quietly keeping one foot on the brake. In this episode, I cover: The SEAR Framework - How your story creates an emotion, which drives your actions and ultimately your results. Why More Tactics Are Not Always the Answer - If the underlying belief is working against you, a new strategy will only get you so far. How Disempowering Beliefs Show Up - The stories you tell yourself about money, relationships, business, or referral partners can shape how you behave. The “Foot on the Brake” Problem - You can say you want growth while unconsciously doing things that keep you stuck. How to Uncover the Story - A simple exercise can help you identify whether your current beliefs are empowering, neutral, or holding you back. If you are not getting the result you want, do not just change the action.  Start by asking what story is driving it, then replace the belief that is keeping your foot on the brake. — We’re bringing BrokerTalks back to Vancouver, Toronto, and Calgary this fall.

    742: How Taylor Atkinson Found 12 Files in his Database (How to Double Your Income Per Hour Ep. 5)

    Taylor Atkinson found 12 files sitting in his database that he did not even know were there. In this episode, we talk about how he used RateGuard Pro to uncover those opportunities, how his hourly rate has increased from $242 to $272, and why hiring an underwriter may be the next move that helps him grow without adding more hours. We also get into what Taylor should keep doing himself, what he should hand off, and how to spend more time in the parts of the business he is actually best at. In this episode, we cover: Finding Hidden Opportunities in Your Database - Taylor shares what happened when he finally dug into his existing clients instead of only chasing new business. Why Measuring Your Hourly Rate Matters - Tracking the number gives Taylor a clearer picture of whether the business is actually getting better. What Should Stay on Your Plate - We break down the work Taylor is uniquely good at and where he creates the most value. When It Makes Sense to Hire an Underwriter - Taylor is getting closer to the point where support could unlock the next stage of growth. Who, Not How - Sometimes the fastest way to improve the business is not learning to do something better, but finding the right person to do it for you. Before chasing more leads, look at the business you already have. Then identify the work only you should be doing and start removing everything else from your plate. Note: RateGuard Pro is exclusive to BRX Agents only.

    741: 5 Ways To Break Into the Mortgage Business

    This is a repost of an episode I think is worth revisiting because there is more than one way to build a successful mortgage business. In this episode, I break down the five paths I see brokers take, the advantages and weaknesses of each, and which one I think is the most sustainable long term. The goal is to help you understand the path you are on, what skills you already have, and what you still need to develop. In this episode, I cover: The 5 Paths Into Mortgage Brokering - The different ways successful brokers tend to enter and grow in the business. What Your Background Gives You - Why each path comes with its own built-in advantages. The Skill Gaps That Hold Brokers Back - Where people tend to struggle depending on how they entered the industry. The Most Difficult Path to Make Work - Why one route requires a very different skill set and more resources. The Path I Think Is Best for Most Brokers - The model I believe gives you the strongest long-term foundation. Know which path you are on and be honest about the skill gaps that come with it. Then focus on developing the missing skill instead of trying to copy someone else’s business model. — We’re bringing BrokerTalks back to Vancouver, Toronto, and Calgary this fall.

    740: How Derrick Johnston Stopped Working Harder and Started Scaling Smarter

    Derrick Johnston hit $100,000 in income and expected it to feel amazing. It didn’t. In this episode, Derrick shares a talk from BrokerTalks about why small goals can actually keep you stuck, how 10X thinking changed the way he approached his business, and the three filters he now uses to grow with more intention. In this episode, he covers: Why Bigger Goals Change Your Behavior - If the current version of you can hit the goal, Derrick says the goal probably is not big enough. The Goal Filter - Start with a bigger vision, then work backward into annual, quarterly, monthly, and weekly targets. The Elimination Filter - Stop trying to optimize everything and start removing the work that should not be on your plate. The Focus Filter - Once the noise is gone, it becomes much easier to see which clients, deals, and activities actually matter. Why Your Why Still Matters - When motivation drops or things go sideways, reconnecting with the reason behind the goal helps you keep moving. Set a goal that forces you to become a different version of yourself. Then eliminate what does not matter and focus on the few actions that will actually move you toward it. — This episode comes from one of our BrokerTalks events.

    739: Scaling Smarter: 3 Lessons from Coaching a $100M Broker

    This is a repost of one of my favorite coaching episodes because the lessons are still just as useful. In this episode, I break down three takeaways from a coaching call with a $100 million producer: protect your superpower, stop hiring mini versions of yourself, and reverse engineer the workday you actually want. These ideas apply whether you are doing $10 million or $100 million. In this episode, I cover: Protect Your Superpower - Spend more of your time on the work you are best at and that actually drives the business forward. Stop Hiring Mini-Yous - The right hire should love doing the work you do not want to do, not be wired exactly like you. Hire for the Role You Actually Need - Look for people with the mindset and background to support the business long term. Reverse Engineer Your Ideal Workday - Decide what you want your income, weekly hours, and time off to look like three years from now. Build the Business Around That Future - Use that vision to decide what to keep, what to delegate, and who you need to hire next. Do not just set a volume goal. Get clear on the business and workday you actually want, then make decisions that move you toward it.

    738: Stop Waiting for Realtor Referrals: Build Your Own Lead Engine with Paul Washington

    Most mortgage brokers are waiting for someone else to send them the client. Paul Washington wants brokers to get there first. In this episode, Paul shares how he uses podcast interviews, content, and simple outreach to build relationships and generate leads before they ever reach a realtor. In this episode, we cover: Why the Broker Should Get the Lead First - When you generate the lead, you control more of the relationship and can refer business out. The Podcast Coffee Meeting - Paul replaces traditional coffee meetings with interviews that create value for both sides. How One Interview Becomes Content - A single conversation can turn into multiple social clips that both people can share. Why Warm Audiences Convert Better - Paul tests content organically before putting ad dollars behind what is already working. How AI Helps With Better Questions - He uses AI to create questions designed to produce stronger, more engaging content. Stop relying only on other people to send you business.  Create content that brings leads to you first, then use those opportunities to build stronger referral relationships.
