Summary
Welcome to your #1 podcast for loan officers in the country. In this episode, Carl White and Steve Kyles discuss how motivation may not even be necessary for your epic success as a loan officer.
You’re in for a treat as Carl and Steve have a casual conversation about Motivation vs. Resolve. The way Steve defines the difference is powerful. When you’re motivated, it lasts a few days, but when you resolve to do something, you’ve chosen to do that – nothing will stand in your way. You’ve committed. You’ve chosen to do this. That’s all. Simple as that. It’s a stance, basically stating “I’m doing this regardless of the circumstance.”
Listen in to hear how to stay focused on the fundamentals that move the needle, and how to avoid the shiny things that can be added in after the money is being made.
For more strategies and guidance on how to focus on the needle moving activities, schedule a one-on-one call here.
