Mortgage Loan Officer Podcast

Episode 136

Welcome to another epic episode of The Mortgage Loan Officer Podcast, with your host, Frank Garay.

In this episode of the Mortgage Loan Officer Podcast, I sit down with Steve Kyles to discuss key insights from his brother, Jimn Kyles, author of Unstuck and Unstoppable.

Together, we explore the critical role of mindset in navigating the mortgage business as the year comes to a close.

Building on Jimn’s impactful discussion from the Loan Officer Breakfast Club, we break down how our automatic thoughts—of which we have between 12,000 and 30,000 per day—are largely negative, holding many of us back.

We highlight why now, more than ever, it's important to push past the common seasonal mindset traps and negative automatic thoughts, like believing no one buys or borrows during the winter months.

This isn’t true—there’s always business to be done! Listen in for practical strategies to shift your thoughts and keep your motivation strong through November and December.
