I’m risking sounding weird today…

The last couple of weeks, I’ve met with 127 loan officers in small groups of about 15 or so each day for around 10 hours each day…

… and a few amazing challenges and resulting victories stood out.

The first thing is, there’s a lot of LOs that are being challenged by their own brain and “negative thoughts”.

I’ve had to deal with that myself in the past and found a way to totally overcome it, resulting in epic growth in my mortgage business and in my income, all while enjoying the ride even more.

Step 1:  Turn off all the news.  Nothing is gained from it, and it’s all negative.  It absolutely poisons our minds and it can be a poisonous addiction.  Very very very harmful to our brain and then overflows to our actions… or lack thereof.

Step 2:  Talk to yourself… OUT LOUD.
Yep, there it is, my dirty little secret (ok, one of them).

Every morning and every evening I talk out loud to myself with a simple little script that I’m going to share with you right now.

The results of this have been dramatic, even if it sounds a little weird, and even if I didn’t believe what I was saying out loud in the beginning.

But I kept at it.  Twice a day.  At first hiding in my closet so the Lovely Mrs. White wouldn’t think I was crazy…

… But then I came out of the closet, and today I do this while standing on my doc lakeside every morning, and every evening.

Just try it for 30 days, don’t miss a day, and reach back out to me and let me know how it worked for you.

Here it is:

“I can’t always control my daily results, but if I follow the process, the law of averages will play out and I will have epic results.

I can get control over my time and life by changing the way I think, work, and deal with daily responsibilities.

I can get control over my tasks and activities only to the degree that I stop doing some things and start doing the few activities that really make the difference.

I can overcome my fear of rejection and call reluctance by feeling the fear and doing it anyway. 

It’s only when I do those things that it results in epic success for myself which results in epic success for my family, which leads to epic success and contributions to my community.

I am worthy of great success that WILL result when I push through the fear BEFORE I have the confidence to do it. 

My family and my community are counting on my time and financial support and I am a person of integrity and the highest character that they can count on me to do my part, even when I’m afraid… I’ll do it anyway.”

That’s it, and there you go.

I have found that the courage and the confidence comes AFTER I do something, never before.

Hey, thanks to those of you that honored me by meeting with me at my house the last few days, and for the group that met me in Phoenix.  You are changing our industry by discovering the small tweaks that are creating massive breakthroughs for you.

While most are curled up in the fetal position “waiting for things to change”, you are stepping up to the plate and “Making Things Change”.  Thanks for doing what you do.

If you didn’t make it, or weren’t invited this last time, when you are ready to see if we have room for you at the next small group, just click here and talk to someone on my team to see what we need to do to make that happen.

Thanks for allowing me to be a part of your world.  It’s a true honor.  Really.

Good News!!!  (3 things)

I just heard some great news and just wanted to share it with you.

This is the “Year Of The 5’s” for 3 reasons, which is very very good news for us.

Here’s what that means…  read on
1. It’s predicted that 30 year fixed rates are going back down to the 5’s

That’s very good news.  What that means is all the pent up demand for people wanting to buy homes but the 8% rates scared them off, well, those people will be flocking to homes like seagulls to French fries at the beach.

And over course that means that many of the 8% interest rate loans will be ripe for refinancing.  This is why we focus our marketing on our past database and referral partners instead of strangers (which is a money sucking endeavor).

As long as you have your marketing intact, that means more loans for you, and getting them will be easier (with the right effort).

2. 5,000,000 plus homes are predicted to be sold.

This one kind of plays into #1.  Part of the reason so many homes will be sold is because of the decreased rates.  But 5 million homes sold will mean there will be plenty of business for all of us … that are left.

Those that never took any forward action to stay in the market, well, they are gone now.  Which I’m never happy about that, but lets be real, it does mean even more loans for me and you.

3. Homes across the nation are expected to have an average of 5% equity growth in the next 12 months.

More good news.  That means it will be easier to have those conversations with our home buying prospects of how buying a home NOW will likely give them almost instant equity and that waiting to buy will just cost them more later.

So as long as we are actually prospecting, real prospecting (which is not dancing on TikTok or “liking” posts on FB), it should be a stellar year for us.

It’s never been a better time, or an easier time to be building our market share right now.
So make sure you are prospecting that magical 2 hours a day.

Nothing, and I mean nothing I have ever seen gets more prospecting results than the DSP (Daily Success Plan).

Implementation of that has out trumped every other loan getting activity I have ever seen in my dealings with literally thousands of loan officers across America.   That’s why it’s the focus in my personal mortgage team that literally closes hundreds of loans per month this very month.

It’s not a theory, it’s the results.

Let me know when you want to go over it and I’ll map it out for you step by step here.
