Mandi's book is out to everyone this week (and it's 99 cents)

Aloha Reader,

Mandi Feely-Swain wrote Origination Boost for every loan originator, but she started with her own team.

Some of you have seen the book here before. We wrote about Origination Boost when it first came out, back when the first copies were fresh off the press. Those went to the loan originators inside Mandi's own company, Premier Mortgage Resources. She launched it at her Success Conference, with signed copies handed out in person to the people she works alongside every day. Maryanna and I got to see some of that up close, and you could feel how much it meant to her to put it in their hands first.

The plan all along was to start with her team, then widen the circle.

This week she's widening it. Mandi went back in, added a new chapter, and Origination Boost is now available to every loan originator (or anyone) who wants it. The things that help her originators, like steadier daily habits, stronger client relationships, and the consistency that turns a good month into a good year, carry over to anyone doing this work or work like it.

To get it into as many hands as possible, she's dropping the ebook to 99 cents until August 18th. That's not a typo. Ninety-nine cents. She'd rather it be read than be priced.

There's something in how Mandi did this that's worth borrowing. She built for the people closest to her first, the ones she could look in the eye, and let the book earn its trust there before sending it out to everyone else. If you've had a book sitting in the back of your mind, that's not a bad order of operations. Write it for someone real. Then let it travel.

Mahalo for reading, and consider passing the link to any loan originators you know. That's how Mandi would want it to move.

With aloha,

Heather
