When I was growing up in a small Florida town, I had a grandmother we called “Grandma with the Oranges.”
Some call their grandmother Grandma, Nana, or Meemaw. But this one, my grandmother, we called her Grandma with the Oranges. That was her actual name to us, Grandma with the Oranges.
Here’s why.
Her house wasn’t far from mine, so I’d walk down the old dirt road and she would be waiting for me outside.
Every time, she’d meet me, or any of her grandkids, in the front yard, and then she’d take me / us to one of the many orange trees on the side of her house. She’d pick a ripe orange, and we’d sit on her porch together.
And here’s the thing: she didn’t just hand me the orange and tell me to run off and play.
She peeled it slowly. Carefully. It took her a good while. And then she’d hand me one segment at a time.
Over the next 20 minutes, while we sat there on the porch, she would peel and hand me off one piece of that orange at a time, and she’d tell me stories. She’d share bits of wisdom. Share encouragement with me.
I didn’t realize it at the time, but looking back 60 years later, I can see what she was doing. She was being intentional. She was carving out porch time for the important stuff.
And that porch time stuck with me.
Now here’s the point for us as loan officers.
We can fill every hour of our week with busy work, or we can build a schedule that closes even more loans and leaves us even more time for the people who matter.
That’s why I want to help you map out your Perfect Week.
We’ll show you:
- Which activities drive the most closings.
- When to do them for maximum impact.
- How to win back hours for porch time with family and friends.
Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about making a living — it’s about making a life.
Book a quick call at GetMoreLoans.com, and we’ll map out your Perfect Week together.
Talk soon,
Carl
PS. Porch time may look different for you — it could be walks with your spouse, playing catch with your kids, or coffee with a friend. But it doesn’t happen by accident.
That’s why having a Perfect Week is so powerful: it protects time for what matters most and keeps your pipeline full.
