Todd Bookspan Returns: The Peril of Not Challenging What We Think & Why We Need Friends Who Ask Us Hard Questions

In today’s episode, one of my early guests and good friend, Todd Bookspan returns for a much-needed catch-up. Todd and I typically meet to discuss topics and ideas that get us to think differently about everything from business to health, and today we’re going to do the same thing on the podcast. Being around people who force us to ask ourselves the hard questions is one of the most underrated ways to cheat at success. Especially with where the market’s at, it’s really easy to take bad advice and just run with it. So Todd and I are going to have a conversation about the questions we need to be asking ourselves to survive the shift, and the attitude we need to carry in this environment. Todd really has a pulse on what’s going on with top LOs and real estate professionals across the country, so I’m keen to hear what he thinks of what’s going on in the market. 

 

Todd is a mortgage originator, executive coach and creator of Win By Noon. Todd has 25 years of experience as an entrepreneur and a business leader. For the past fifteen years, as a mortgage originator, Todd has proven successful in cultivating both teams and branch offices. Working alongside his wife Tara, Todd successfully helped grow the Arizona region of a mortgage bank from five to eighty-five employees at four branches. Now he has designed the Win By Noon Planner as a tool to help increase productivity.

 

In a market downshift like the one we’re in right now, many people end up down a path of bad decisions, not because they aren’t intelligent or equipped, but because they can’t get past their own thinking. They are unable to challenge what they think and ask themselves the hard questions. 

 

Whether we hang out with it or hire it, the quality of our decisions is directly connected to the quality of questions we’re forced to answer and act on. Instead of keeping our heads in the sand and plugging away with what we’ve always known or done, commit to getting around people who help you challenge every mentality you hold. Change begins at the end of our own current understanding.
