Have you given 2022 some thought? It’s time to start planning for your annual business goals.
Matt Vance joins me in this eye-opening episode of Loan Officer Freedom, the #1 podcast nationwide for loan officers today.
So, how do we come up with realistic goals for the new year? For Matt, it’s having an idea of where he wants to be and what he wants his business to look like. One key factor in mapping this out is making sure his team is structured with a successful ratio, so transactions become a smooth process for all parties involved.
I also share insight on how to go into a new year thinking about business plans with what is called ‘reverse engineering’. I start off by asking myself what is it that I want to happen and follow that with what will that cost me. I’ll break it down for ya’ here…tune in.
Listen in to the #1 podcast for loan officers in the country, Loan Officer Freedom, and join me as I chat with a very good friend of mine who also happens to be an advisor here at The Mortgage Marketing Animals, Ginger Bell.
Ginger and I recently co-wrote the book titled ‘Leadership Video Planner’, which lays out the a-z’s of how to make video, what to make videos about, and how to use those videos the most efficient way possible. Within the pages of this book, we drop 52 ideas and topics for video creation. And as an act of coolness, we will even be sending you emails with examples of those ideas with purchase. Get your copy at www.LeadershipVideoPlanner.com.
Studies show that video has taken over the digital world by bringing celebrity status to those that use it in the simplest ways possible. Gone are the days of an elaborate studio, excessive makeup, or even a perfect script. It’s all about being real, human, and who you are.
Video not only humanizes you, which is a large part of building relationships in the mortgage business, but it allows people to get to know you even though you don’t know them (yet).
You’ve got to tune in to hear why I feel this is one of the most powerful tools I’ve ever used and why I believe Ginger and her incredible knowledge is a gift to the mortgage industry.
Learn more about how you can use video in your marketing. Schedule a free call here with one of our coaches.

On this episode of Loan Officer Freedom, the #1 podcast nationwide for loan officers, I’m joined by none other than Steve Kyles, my friend and business partner here at The Mortgage Marketing Animals.
We are sharing insights on what it looks like to build a team for a top producing mortgage company, which we both have a great deal of experience with. Although it will work different for each office itself, the basic structure will always be the same.
I once overheard a fellow coach in our program say that for every five loans, you need one FTE (full-time employee.) This is because the machine itself needs certain parts to operate at the best capacity it can. When you have the proper loan processors and loan partners in place, they are making sure the transaction from A-Z is ran well. This allows you to narrow down the activities that you like to do so that the productivity increases in your business.
Tune is to hear how the dynamic of a top producing team can turn your business into a huge success.
If this sounds like something you need some help with, then hop on a call here and we will gladly map out how to build a team that works for you and your business. Schedule Now.

As loan officers, we want to focus on things that really move the needle in our businesses, so Steve and I are sharing a few thoughts we have that can help you.
Let’s start off with this phrase… “Risk Looking Stupid. Just Take Action”
What we mean by this is that there’s nothing more costly than COI – Cost of Inactivity. In this episode, I’ll drill down what this exactly means and why you simply must make the moves in order to increase your production.
Another big thought that we all think would be an easy step is to follow the actions of the people who are doing it consistently, in the right way, being proactive in their communications, and therefor are successful in their mortgage businesses. Tune in to hear what Steve and I have to say about this…

On this episode of Loan Officer Freedom, the #1 podcast for loan officers in the world, I’m joined by my good friend and business partner, Steve Kyles.
We recently attended a conference in Philly and decided to answer some frequently asked questions from loan officers. The question that came up the most was, “What are the daily, weekly, and monthly disciplines that need to be consistent in your business?”
This is something that our coaching program here at Mortgage Marketing Animals really helps our members with. The main thing I stress is that there must be focused activity – short bursts of proactive activity giving you huge results. Breaking it up into solid bursts that you follow through with is key to consistent actions that need to remain daily, weekly, and monthly.
Resetting our mindset to build confidence in ourselves and our abilities is something that is crucial to continue our path to freedom in our minds and our businesses.
My team is ready to get you on the road to freedom. Let’s implement some strategies for your business on a FREE one on one coaching call. Set it up here.
In this value packed episode of Loan Officer Freedom, Carl White and Steve Kyles enlighten you as to why they feel the 70/30 approach regarding purchases and refis in a loan officer’s production per month is what they refer to as the sweet spot. Follow their proven activities to steer away from complacent thought processes.
Join Carl and Steve as they share ways to clear the path, gather the tools, and turn your outlook around on hiring someone to increase your production. Don't let overthinking detour you from learning how to delegate and build a team so you can do things that make you more money and begin to realize that even more is even easier.

On this episode of Loan Officer Freedom, the #1 podcast nationwide for loan officers, I’m joined by my friend and Freedom Club member, Landy Garcia.
Landy has built a world class team by learning that being aware of the boiling point during your mortgage business growth, helps you know when it’s time to hire.
He explains that when he started the increase from 5 to 7 loans per month to 10 to 11 loans per month, that’s when he felt the impact of not being able to do it alone.
Using the Axe of Freedom that Mortgage Marketing Animals has taught him in his coaching journey, he targeted certain areas where he needed help. That’s where the roadmap to success began, giving him more time with his family and to do the things he loves to do.
