315: From CPA to $30M Broker in 4 Years

WATCH ▶️ ⁠Watch this episode on YouTube⁠ ***   EPISODE DESCRIPTION In this episode, I'm joined by Heather Bowie.   Heather is a mortgage broker and the co-owner of Flare Mortgage Group from Sherwood Park, Alberta, who became a broker in 2022 after spending her career as a CPA.   Quitting a stable accounting career in your forties to work entirely on commission takes serious nerve, and the results speak for themselves. In only 4 years, Heather now does $30 million in funded volume a year, while also building a boutique team of ten brokers alongside her.   What makes Heather stand out is that her success came from the relentless fundamentals of authentic relationship building rather than shortcuts. She joined a BNI group within two months of becoming a broker, committed to contacting three to five people daily, and has sent personalized emails to realtor partners every week for four years. This consistency has steadily grown her client list and brought her some of her biggest referral partners.   But how did Heather turn an abstract income goal into tangible daily actions? Her answer is simple: work backwards. If you know how much you want to make in a year, then you know how much volume you need, back to files, back to pre-approvals, back to total leads, back to how many leads a day. This method combined with monthly goal reflections can keep you on the path to getting the life that you want.   Heather is here to discuss:   → Her transition from CPA to broker and starting a new career in her 40s, her business goals for the future, and how Flare is going to grow their team.   → How she built her "working backwards" business plan, her client journey and follow-up touch points, and when to hire help.   → How Heather gets her leads, the "BAMFAM" (book a meeting from a meeting) mindset, and what is in her weekly Realtor email.   → How she builds authentic, long-term relationships with clients and partners and leverages her CPA background to establish credibility.   → Where the agents who are struggling today are missing the mark. ***   🌎 Heather Bowie's Website: www.heatherbowie.ca 📧 Heather Bowie's Email: heather@flaremortgagegroup.com 📸 Heather Bowie's Instagram: @heather_flaremortgagegroup 🔗 Heather Bowie's LinkedIn: @HeatherBowie ***   IN-PERSON "MORTGAGE LEAD GENERATION" WORKSHOP 📍 Burlington, ON - Monday, September 21st 📍 Vaughan, ON - Wednesday, September 23rd   For more information, visit: www.leadgenworkshop.manus.space   *Spots are limited.
