80 | Building a Mortgage Business That Doesn’t Own You with Tasha Hastings

<p><strong>What’s the point of building a successful mortgage business if you don’t have a life left to enjoy it?</strong></p><p>Hey there, Rainmakers!</p><p>My good friend Tasha Hastings has spent 13 years building something so many loan officers want: a thriving mortgage business that doesn’t own her. She’s a top producer, a wife, a present mom of three, and a leader who has been incredibly intentional about protecting what matters most.</p><p>In this episode, we talk about taking over the business her mom built, going all in on a builder relationship when the demands felt relentless, and staying true to the fundamentals when the market got hard. Tasha is proof that you don’t have to chase every shiny object to grow. Sometimes the answer is to keep showing up, serve people incredibly well, and play the long game.</p><p><strong>Key insights:</strong></p><ul><li>Build your business around the life you actually want to live.</li><li>Great communication and relentless follow-up still win in every market.</li><li>Leadership means protecting your team publicly and coaching them privately.</li><li>The boring disciplines are often the exact things that make you extraordinary.</li><li>You don’t need endless referral partners when you deeply serve the right ones.</li></ul><br/><p><strong>PLUS:</strong></p><p>If you're ready to stop waiting for business and start creating it, join me for my <strong>FREE Sales Attack Challenge</strong>, starting <strong>Tuesday, August 26</strong>. I'll give you the exact system, trackers, scripts, and live coaching my team uses to create consistent momentum. <strong>This is a live-only experience—no recordings will be available.</strong> </p><p>Save your spot now at <strong>ShaylaGifford.com</strong> - before registration closes!</p><p><strong>Guest links:</strong></p><p>Website:</p><p>https://branches.guildmortgage.com/nv/sparks/tasha-hastings-403-rrnse.html</p><p>Instagram:</p><p>https://www.instagram.com/secordhastingsteam</p><p>Facebook:</p><p>https://www.facebook.com/secordhastingsteam</p><p>Are you ready to make it rain?

79 | Mastering The Ask: How This New LO Closed $4M with Jannette Gomez

<p><strong>What happens when a brand-new loan officer stops overthinking and starts running the plays?</strong></p><p>Hey there, Rainmakers!</p><p>Jannette Gomez left a 13-year career as a dental hygienist because she knew she was capable of more. Just 14 months into the mortgage business, she closed a $4 million month by staying hungry, asking for help, and doing the work most people avoid.</p><p>In this episode, we break down exactly where her business came from: open houses, cold calls, and the 10-10-10 strategy that became her biggest source of closed loans. This is proof that you don’t need years of experience to create momentum—you need the right support, a willingness to learn, and the discipline to actually run the plays.</p><p>Key Insights</p><ul><li>Consistency beats complexity when you are building from zero.</li><li>Open houses can create relationships that compound into real business.</li><li>The 10-10-10 strategy turns your existing network into warm opportunities.</li><li>One introduction can create an entire chain of referrals.</li><li>You do not have to know everything to win. You have to run the plays.</li></ul><br/><p>Are you ready to make it rain?
