Tired of feeling like you’re grinding uphill with concrete blocks on your feet in your business? I know that frustration all too well.

How do we stop spinning our wheels and start seeing massive momentum? In this new episode, I share 8 powerful "leverage hacks" that will allow you to close more deals with less time, energy, money, and stress. Let's dive in…

3 Keys to Maximizing Your Profit From the Next Refi Wave
Thursday Dec 21, 2023
Thursday Dec 21, 2023
If you’ve been waiting for the light at the end of the high-interest rate tunnel, you’re going to love this…
There are positive signs of change all over the economy. With rates and inflation dropping, a refi boom is coming to a town near you. That means more demand, more referrals and more refi revenue… FINALLY!
No doubt, the next refi boom is the surge everyone’s been waiting for, but what if rates and market conditions didn’t matter to you at all? What if you didn’t have to freeze in cold water, hoping for the next wave and going broke while you wait, and create waves on demand instead?
Picture this: you have a business so solid, you are perfectly primed to prosper and entirely impervious to interest rates. You own your marketing, instead of being owned by the market. Your wagon’s not hitched to mediocre, middle of the road Realtors, but you’re aligned with market-dominating, top producers who continue to win in the face of any storm.
That’s what happens when you stop being a wave rider and become a systems-builder. You get to make freedom money regardless of rates, inventory, inflation, or competition.
What are the 3 key steps to maximizing your profits when the next refi wave hits, and more importantly, how do you win while you wait?
In this episode, we’re going to talk about how to position yourself to benefit first and most from the next refi boom, and how to prosper right now while you prepare.
As rates go down, there’s going to be a bigger pool of people who will definitely want to hear from you, and will have an advantage to refinance. -Doren Aldana
Things You'll Learn From This Episode:
-Create your own waves on demand
Instead of signing up for the suck of being a once-in-a-while refi wave surfer, how do you transform into a consistent system-builder where you can create "waves on demand"?
-The Holy Grail of Communication
If I had to choose one method to communicate with prospects, past clients and referral partners, what would it be?
-Right person, right message, right time
How do we knock it out of the park with message that resonates with your audience?

If you tend to root for the underdog, this story is sure to inspire you. With high interest rates, low inventory and sharply-shrinking revenue, Colin Shea was in a dark place.

After landing on Planet Prosper, Colin went stratospheric (doubling his income in just 6 months) in spite of being in the most challenging market of his entire career. How did he pull off such an epic feat while his competition was dropping like flies? In this episode, Colin shares his inspiring true story, how he went from worrying about the "next deal" to winning like never before and being on track to having his best year yet with massive momentum.

If the thought of picking up the phone to call Realtors gives you the gag reflex, you're not alone. Most mortgage pros hate cold-calling Realtors, so you're in good company!
That being said, the reason you don't like making those calls is because you're doing it wrong. It's kind of like sex, if you don't like it, you're probably doing it wrong!
So, if you reach for that phone and your knees get wobbly, your palms get sweaty, and that phone feels like it weighs 1000 lbs, that's a symptom you're doing it the HARD WAY.
Chances are, you want to bring the swagger factor to your business, but on the inside you’re scared to be an annoying pest, feeling inadequate when it comes to your value proposition, and loathe being laughed off the phone.
If your confidence has gone down the drain, in a downward spiral of self-doubt and you just don't know how to get out of your own way, this episode is for you.
How do you go from being afraid of the phone to mastering it and turning it into your most profitable, MONEY-MAKING MACHINE?

If you're like most mortgage pros right now, you’ve gone from making bank to scraping the bottom of the barrel, and you’re hunkering down waiting for rates to go back down to “normal.”

Perhaps you're getting close to having to do something drastic, like throwing in the towel and going to look for 9-to-5 job. It doesn't matter how may so-called "solutions" you try, if you can't find one that works, eventually you're going to run out of tarmac. The struggle is real.
This is where Ben Davis found himself just 12 months ago -- struggling and desperate to find something that works to provide for his family.
