Why do so many brokers avoid picking up the phone… even when they know it would grow their business?

In this episode, I talk with Angela Robinson about call reluctance, what causes it, how it shows up, and what actually works to get past it.

This isn’t about “just push through it.” It’s about understanding the real reason behind the hesitation and putting simple structures in place so calling becomes easier and eventually automatic.

If you know you should be making more calls but keep putting it off, this conversation will help you fix that.

What We Cover:

• What’s Really Behind Call Reluctance – Why it’s not laziness, and what’s actually causing the hesitation.
• Reframing the Call – How changing the purpose of the call makes it easier to start.
• Lowering the Pressure – Why removing expectations improves consistency.
• Building the Habit – Simple ways to make calling part of your daily workflow.
• Confidence Through Reps – Why action, not thinking, is what removes the fear.

Most brokers don’t have a lead problem.

They have an action problem.

If you only had $1,000 to grow your mortgage business… where would you actually spend it?

In this Coaching Q&A episode, we break down how to think about investing in your business when resources are limited—and why most brokers get this completely wrong.

It’s not about spreading money across tools, ads, and “trying things.” It’s about putting it where it creates the highest leverage—fast.

This episode walks through exactly how to prioritize, what actually moves the needle early on, and how to avoid wasting money on things that feel productive but don’t generate results.

• Where Most Brokers Waste Money – Why spreading your budget across tools and tactics kills momentum.
• Leverage First, Not Tactics – How to think about ROI before spending a dollar.
• Skills vs Tools – Why investing in capability beats buying software every time.
• What Actually Drives Revenue Early – The activities that create deals when you don’t have scale.

If you only have a small budget, every dollar has to work.

The goal isn’t to spend more, it’s to spend smarter.

What starts to break once the deals are coming in?

This is Episode 3 of our $100 Million Dollar Journey with Nate Atkin, where we’re following Nate in real time as he builds toward $100M in volume.

In the early stages, the focus is getting deals. But once momentum builds, a different set of problems shows up. You’re busier, things start slipping, and what used to work no longer holds up under pressure.

In this episode, we break down what Nate is running into right now, where time is getting lost, and what needs to tighten up if he wants to keep growing without things getting chaotic.

• What Breaks First – Why the systems that got you here won’t get you to the next level.
• Where Time Actually Goes – How small inefficiencies start compounding fast.
• Busy vs Effective – Why more files doesn’t automatically mean better output.
• Tightening the Workflow – The small changes that start to matter a lot more at this stage.
• The Next Bottleneck – What has to be solved before growth continues.

You don’t stall because you stop working. You stall because what used to work… stops working. Follow Nate’s journey through the links below: Instagram Facebook LinkedIn TikTok https://www.hummingbirdmortgages.ca/
