Your Summer Focus Plan: Winning Strategies That Are Working

At the midpoint of 2026, loan officers have a choice: drift through summer or use halftime to reset, refocus, and recommit. In this episode of the Win by Noon Friday Mastermind, Todd Bookspan, Deborah Byrd, and Dave Savage are joined by Michael Regan for a practical conversation on what is working right now for mortgage professionals. Michael shares a simple but powerful framework built around mindset, skill set, and tool set. He explains why many loan officers do not need more ideas or more tools. They need to review their data, prune what is no longer working, and execute the fundamentals with more consistency. The group discusses the K-shaped reality in today’s housing market, why some producers are thriving while others feel stuck, how to run a halftime business review, and how to use the KISS framework: Keep, Improve, Start, Stop. You’ll also hear how to identify “sucker branches” in your business, including referral relationships or activities that look productive but quietly drain your time and capacity. The second half is still ahead. This episode will help you step back onto the field with a clearer plan. 🔗 Links mentioned in this episode: Building Champions Experience: https://www.buildingchampions.com/bce Check out Michael Regan's Building Bigger Lives Podcast on these platforms: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKELF7Qkhb7gWyxxVGGfVpw  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7bVy2Ofm24QJsiGyR6qz9W  Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/building-bigger-lives/id1727039575  Win Now podcast episode on productivity: https://youtu.be/jf31l1Mjk8E Join the live Friday Mastermind: https://winbynoon.com/fridaymastermind/  Join the Win By Noon Mastermind Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/WinByNoonUserMastermindGroup/ Subscribe for weekly mortgage mastermind conversations designed to help loan officers build stronger habits, better systems, and more consistent production.
