Here’s the thing about growth: 

‍

It rarely happens alone.

‍

This past week at GrowthCon, surrounded by hundreds of high-performing Loan Officers, one truth stood out…

‍

A powerful environment is everything.

‍

It’s infectious.

‍

It’s inspiring.

‍

And it’s necessary (in my book).

‍

You can have the best strategy, the perfect systems, and all the motivation in the world…

‍

But if the people around you aren’t pushing you forward, you’ll eventually stall.

‍

That’s what we saw happen in real time.

‍

Every conversation sparked a new idea.

‍

Every connection challenged someone’s thinking.

‍

And every person in the room left with their standards raised… 

‍

Not just because of a new tactic or playbook they walked away with, but because of who they were around.

‍

Because we were all lifting each other up.

‍

A rising tide raises all ships. 

‍

Growth isn’t just about doing more.

‍

It’s about choosing rooms that require more of you.

‍

So this week, ask yourself:

‍

Who’s in your room right now?

‍

Are they challenging your comfort zone, or keeping you stagnant in it?

‍

If you want to grow faster, start there.
