Grow your mortgage business.
Build your mortgage business.
Scale your mortgage business.
You’ve gotta build a business!
...says who???
Forget what everyone else is saying, doing, or telling you to do.
The fact is...
You don’t have to do anything.
The forgotten (and crucial) question is...
Should you build a business or not?
And the answer isn’t always yes.
In this episode of Mortgage Broker Acceleration, we discuss the situations where brokers should build a business and where they should take a different approach to reach their financial and life goals. Building a business isn’t for everyone, and it’s not always the smartest and fastest path to success.

Team Advancement (Creating Stars)
Building a team is easy.
Any broker can hire people.
But keeping a team long-term, high-performing, happy and sustainable... and have them treat your business like their own... is a completely different story.

In this episode of Mortgage Broker Acceleration, we discuss our Team Advancement strategy that keeps A-players happy and performing for years and years. This same strategy also creates the highest level of efficiency and profit.

The One Person All Brokers Should Hire (But Virtually None Do)
What’s the one person all brokers should hire... but virtually none do?
Is it a loan processor? No.
Is it a parabroker? No.
Is it another broker? No.
Is it a CSM? No.
Is it a virtual assistant, or a marketing person, or an office manager?
No. No. No.
It’s actually not what you think, which is why almost nobody does this.
I’d argue that it’s impossible to have an efficient, high-performing team without ‘this person’.
In this episode of Mortgage Broker Acceleration, we discuss the trap most brokers fall into when hiring people, and share the smarter hiring strategy that will accelerate results.
