In this episode, I dive into the unspoken challenges of working with friends and family as a new mortgage broker. If you've ever had someone close to you choose another broker, it’s a gut punch. I get it. Today, I’m breaking down the two hidden objections your loved ones have—and more importantly, how you can overcome them. Whether you're just starting or you’ve been in the game for a while, this episode is packed with practical strategies to help you gain trust, build confidence, and start asking for the business you deserve.

Here are the talking points we covered:

• Focusing on your long-term goals, as confidence builds with action.

• Thanking people after referrals. It strengthens trust and reinforces your role as a professional.

• The role of social media and how personal outreach is key to building connections and awareness.
  
• Respecting privacy by giving options for working with others if needed.
