You are an elite racehorse NOT a pack mule!!! Not delegating Loan File Operational Processing Tasks to your Processing Team is the kiss of death. If your current Company lacks the fortitude to create the Operational Sys-tems and Processes that strategically remove you from Processing Tasks you have to take a hard look at how your time is being wasted. There is a much better way, delegate and audit, but your Company MUST have your back on this one! I repeat, your company, the one You choose to originate for, the com-pany that you make money for, Yes, that one, they Must have your back, they must re-alize that if you are processing and not originating and marketing you are wasting your precious time! DeadlySin#2-Beingthe“JimmyTwo-Times”oftheMortgageBiz…Oneofmyfavoritemoviesofall-timeis“Goodfellas”withRobertDeNiro,Joe,PesciandRayLiotta…ThisOliverStoneflickisaclassic.There’sacharacterinitnamed“JimmyTwo-Times”;he’sonlygotonelinewherehesays,“Ok.IgottagetthePapers.GetthePapers.”(See,becausehesayseverythingtwotimes…)

9

Ifyou’repullinga“JimmyTwo-Times”inyourMortgageBizwhereyou’re90%focusedon“gettingthepapers,gettingthepapers.”Thenyou’vegotaseriousproblemmyfriend…I’m adamant on this!!! It is not your job to collect borrower documents! It wastes your time, it’s a Processing Function, not an Origination Function! It’s your job and responsibility to make darn sure that your Mortgage Biz is healthy and balanced so 90% of your time is invested to bringing in more and more Mortgage Loans to Originate every day, every week, every month…don’t do the processors job, don’t chase condi-tions either, come on man! COME ON!!! DeadlySin#3-SurroundingYourselfwithTurkeys&ExpectingtoSoarLikeanEa-gle…“It’s not what you know, but whom you know and whom you surround yourself with.” This is truer today than ever before… especially in the Mortgage industry. If you’re moti-vated to become a more successful Originator, your ability to curate and leverage re-sources are, unquestionably, one of the critical keys to success in the business. Learn from Originators that are producers at a level 5X yours. If you haven’t done these kind of numbers… Rick R. 2014 Funded Volume $11.0M - 2015 Funded Volume $37.0M 234% Growth Amber A. 2014 Funded Volume $30.3MM - 2015 Funded Volume $73.1M 141% Growth …then you can learn new skills from others who have. Choose to surround yourself with the mortgage industries BEST originators. It’s ideal to originate for the same company as the top producers do. DeadlySin#4-SellingYour“Soul”to“Late-for-DinnerLucifer”Ioncereadaquotethatsaid,“Punctualityisthesoulofbusiness.”MeaningyourClientsex-pectyoutobeontime…So, if your Company is consistently late in closing your Deals, You are letting them get away with it… Are you crazy?!?! Have you lost your darn marbles?!?!? Your job is Originating and earning the trust of your Clients and Referral Partners so you can bring in a steady stream of new Customers to your Company… Right?

10

What happens when your company closes late? Your reputation is mud!!! Why would you except that even once? The first step to establishing your reputation is to give people reasons to trust you, and in the Mortgage Business closing late demolishes trust. It’s a nuclear bomb of medioc-rity that does more to hurt Your Business than just about anything… DeadlySin#5-FallingPreytotheMythofNike&Apple…Here’s one simple truth about Marketing: It ain’t just “getting your name out there”! Massive companies (like Apple & Nike) have the resources to play that game, but I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that you don’t. You don’t have the time or the cash to fight this losing battle… So ask yourself… - Doyouknowhowtomarket?- DoyouknowwhatNichestoMarketto?- Wheretomarket?- HowmanyProspects(daily,weekly,monthly)yourMortgageBizneedstosmashyour

11

DeadlySin#6-ActingLikeNewClientsare“FreddyKrueger”…Over the years I’ve discovered that most Originators have a tremendous amount of per-sonal roadblocks about loving and believing in themselves. Not having incredible support leads to what I call “Originating Scared” where these per-sonal roadblocks combine with the fear your Client won’t have an awesome experience, and a Loan Officer starts to sabotage their own Business by being afraid to even put a new Client into their system… One of the greatest responsibilities I have is to support others in living at our highest and best. It takes the same amount of time to “play small”, so why wouldn’t you use your time to play big!? Whether you’re a Parent, Partner, Friend, Leader, or Mortgage Loan Originator it’s your calling to live as close to your highest and unique potential as you can. The belief that you too are the capable of doubling (and even tripling!) your Mortgage Production is in you. You can do it too! I have, and so have many, many others…that I currently work with. You simply need a Support Network and a “Company” that believes in you, and that has proven tools to of-fer you… Ifanyof“The6DeadlySins”resonatedwithyou…Thenletmeaskyou,whywouldyouevenconsiderbringinginmorepainintoyourlife?Whywouldyouwantmorebusinessandmoreloanswhenyouhatetheonesyouhave?

LifeisLikeaJarofMolasses…AKA: Underwriting has to be slow as hell to be thorough. You know what? I choose to work for a 25 billion retail mortgage company that publicly mandates their 48 hour maximum underwriting turn time. Please don’t settle for mediocre, if your Company doesn’t rise to the occasion like you do, then choose a better Mortgage Company to Originate for. You have the power, you are bringing the money to your Mortgage Company, and they are there to serve you. You make the money, so demand excellence and don’t settle. 2.There’sLessMeat(EvenThoughtheHogsareGettingFatter)…Lies, lies, LIES! If your Company isn’t transparent enough to disclose to you how much it steps on your rate sheet for Management, Compliance and Operations, then run away! Run Forrest RUN!!! The best Mortgage Rates and Prices don’t have to come with poor commission splits, if you are earning less than 90 basis points with ridiculous tiers and not offering your Clients the most competitive Rates and Mortgage Products, then you can do better for yourself, your Origination Business, your Clients, and your Referral Sources.

3.TheFoodInspectorSetstheMenu,NOTtheChef…Who’sincontrol?TheRegulatorsortheSalesDepartment?The fact, is some Mortgage Companies are completely terrified of their local DFI and the CFPB. Some Mortgage Companies limit Social Media Marketing and Marketing in general. Choose to Originate for a Company that understands that you are a Marketer first, Originator second. If you can’t Market your Business, how can you scale it and grow it? 4.YouHavetoBegForFirst&SecondHelpings…You DO NOT have to cold call or beg Realtors for business! You don’t have to buy them Zillow leads either!!! The fact is, Mortgage Loan Originators and Real Estate Agents can work very well to-gether since both parties are serving the same Client. To do it properly though you have to take your power back and create a business rela-tionship that truly benefits both parties. There is a powerful proven method of partner-ing with Real Estate agents that totally changes this game. If the Company that you Originate for doesn’t have Real Estate Marketing Tools ready for you to deploy (or give you a path that doesn’t reduce you to a powerless beggar) then your goal is to find a better way. 5.You’reThereto“ServeItUp&ShutUp”…Ask yourself this: Why would a Mortgage Company or Bank ever want their money mak-ers, their Mortgage Loan Originators, doing any tasks that aren’t directly relating to reve-nue generating activities? It’s because they’re cheap, shortsighted, and unwilling to support you. Can you think of any other reason? If you’re employed by a Mortgage Company or Bank who won’t support you, and expects you to do any Operational Tasks this is handcuffing you and destroying your time, your energy, and your opportunity for success. If you’re stuck in this situation right now, it’s past time to choose a different Com-pany to Originate for…

Before you do… there’s 2 things… Now, I’m not trying to sound like an arrogant ass when I say the following… Frankly, I simply want to make sure that I don’t waste your time, and you don’t waste mine. This isn’t for everybody, so we need to be completely upfront with each other! Sound fair? Good! #1 - If we’re going to spend valuable time getting to know one another I want to make that time as productive as possible. What I mean is: When we talk let’s focus on your goals and aspirations and whether our Company and our Solutions will give you the firepower to crush your goals and achieve those aspirations. What I don’t want to do is spend a bunch of time trying to “sell you”, or convince you of why working with me is a great idea, or why my Company is the best. I won’t do it. That’s a waste of both yours and my time. I’m not interested… If you need that, then it’s a good indication to me that you’re genuinely NOT serious about taking your Mortgage Business to new heights and levels of production. I’m looking for Originators that will do anything to be a part of my Team. I want to be your partner, not some accountability coach or mouth piece. I’m only able to live my life because of the skills and company resources I have access to. This is rare, unique and a very special opportunity, and I don’t want it squandered by someone who is not committed! I can’t stand that. AAAAND…

19

#2 - No whiners, no complainers, no quitters, and no victims. These are the type of people who I don’t want to work with. I’m looking for Originators who: - Take full responsibility for their own success - Work hard (and smart) - Never give up - Always look inwards to solve problems - Are coachable, and open to new ideas That’s it! I’m an easy guy to get along with! If you have a legitimate question, then please shoot it over to me, I respond to EVERY email I get. I am HAPPY to give you honest answers, and as a Fellow Originator, help you make the right decision for you personally, whatever it is you decide to do… One thing you must know about me is that I’m a straight shooter. I am not going to BS you. So, please, please don’t BS me neither… If you think you’re the right fit, and you’re excited by the opportunity to take full control of your Mortgage Business (and your life) then what are you waiting for? Sincerely, Jim
