We’re taught to be careful.
Careful with our time. Careful with our money. Careful with our dreams.
And so we wait. We wait for permission. For the perfect moment. For the fear to disappear.
But that moment never comes.
The voice in our head says: “What if I fail?” “What if I look foolish?” “What if it doesn’t work?”
But here’s a better question:
What if it does?
What if the real risk is staying put? What if the true cost is deferring your potential - another year, another excuse, another wasted Monday?
We don’t avoid risk. We choose which type of risk we’re willing to live with.
You can risk discomfort now - starting your mortgage broking business, learning the ropes, fumbling forward.
Or you can risk regret later - watching others pass you by, wondering what might’ve been.
This isn’t about recklessness. It’s about intentional courage.
The mortgage industry doesn’t need more calculators. It needs more humans - empathetic, knowledgeable, motivated brokers who care enough to serve properly.
Clients are looking for someone they can trust. Someone who shows up. That someone could be you.
Starting a business isn't safe. But neither is hiding. There is no safety. There is only choice.
And here's the kicker: 1 x 1 = 3. You. Your business. Your impact.
When you commit, the world expands. Connections deepen. Confidence builds. Momentum kicks in.
So, no - this isn’t a pep talk. This is a mirror.
What’s the bigger risk?
