    Imagine starting a brand-new career and hitting $20K in commissions within 90 days—without chasing realtors. Sounds impossible? It’s not. In this episode, I’m bringing back JD Smythe, a mortgage broker who cracked the code to building a thriving business in record time. JD shares how he went from zero to a packed schedule (complete with hiring an assistant) in just three months by focusing on a single niche and staying consistent with his efforts. This is an episode for anyone ready to rethink what’s possible in their business.



    Here are the talking points we covered:

    • Strategies included engaging contractors directly at job sites, Home Depot, and even parking lots.
    • Focus on face-to-face interactions and building trust through professionalism.
    • Outsourced mortgage processing to experienced colleagues to focus on sales.
    • Learned as he went, emphasizing resourcefulness over perfection.
    • Focus on one niche and do it well—don’t spread yourself too thin.
    • Don’t wait to “know everything”; success comes from being prepared to find answers.
