How can mortgage brokers manage their time effectively while growing their business? In this episode, I share my proven time management strategy, the "Ideal Workweek," which has helped me and countless mortgage brokers stay productive, reduce stress, and achieve better work-life balance.

We will cover:

  1. The Ideal Workweek Framework – How to design a structured weekly schedule to maximize productivity.
  2. Time Blocking for Success – Planning work start/end times, client meetings, and personal commitments.
  3. Eliminating Distractions – Cutting out non-essential tasks to focus on what truly moves the needle.
  4. Batching Work for Efficiency – How grouping tasks and creating themed weeks can boost performance.
  5. Leveraging Ownwell for Client Engagement – A tool that helps brokers stay top-of-mind with homeowners.
