No pitch. No ask. Just this.

June 2, 2025

There’s nothing to register for, no sales funnel, no hidden Call To Action.

Just one simple message:

I’m rooting for you.

That’s it.

Whatever kind of day you’re having —
Whether your inbox is full of pre-approvals…
Or full of fires to put out…

Whether you just had a great win…
Or you’re wondering how you’re going to make it to Friday…

I see you. I get it. And I’m in your corner.

You don’t need to prove anything to be worthy of encouragement.

You don’t need to hit a quota this week to matter.
You don’t need to close 20 loans this month to be worthy of respect.

Sometimes, we just need someone to remind us:
You’re doing better than you think. Keep going.

 So no homework here.
No worksheet. No webinar. No calendar link.

Just this:

You matter. You’re needed. And I believe in what you’re building.

The end of day habit that helps me sleep

May 26, 2025

Here’s a small end-of-day routine that helps me stop bringing the business to bed with me (so I can actually sleep at night).

Years ago, I’d lie there at night, staring at the ceiling, running through every task I didn’t finish:

Did I return that agent’s call? What if the Smiths’ appraisal comes in low? Should I have followed up with that hot lead?

One night around 2:30am, I got out of bed, opened my laptop, and the lovely Mrs. White, half-asleep, asked:
“Are we really doing this again?”

That hit me.

I was never shutting off.

Now I’ve learned something:

High performers don’t just start strong — they finish well.

So here’s my shutdown routine I do every day:

1. Write down the 4 most important things for tomorrow
 (I pull these off of my Brain Dump Daily sheet)

Not a full to-do list — just what moves the needle for me the most.
I do this before I log off, so my brain doesn’t have to keep track overnight.

2. Clear the digital clutter.
 Close out all browser tabs.
Log out of email.
Power down if you can.

It’s a signal that the workday is done.

3. Send one thank-you message.
 A borrower. A realtor. A teammate. Doesn’t matter.
Ending the day with gratitude resets everything.

 Is this a cure for stress and sleepless nights?
Not exactly.But I’ll tell you this — I sleep better now.
 And more importantly, I show up stronger the next morning.

 You did enough today.
You are enough.
