The Plan Is Great. Until It Isn't | Ep. 454

from Growth Notes · host Jason Frazier

Improvise, Adapt, Keep Moving: Winning as a Loan Officer in a Changing MarketFrazier discusses how success in the mortgage industry depends less on sticking to an original plan and more on improvising and adapting when conditions change, since rates, buyers, sellers, underwriters, and market curveballs do not care about anyone’s plans. He argues that loan officers who build lasting businesses adjust their conversations, find new ways to create value, learn new strategies, and reach people who still need to buy and sell despite shifts in rates and affordability. He clarifies that adaptability is not quitting or abandoning a plan whenever things get hard; instead, keep the destination while changing the route. Quoting a military saying that no plan survives first contact with the enemy, he challenges listeners to respond to change by assessing the best move with what they have rather than freezing, complaining, venting online, or waiting for normal to return.Get your Growth Engine!
