CEO at GO! Coaching | Helping 10,000+ growth-minded loan officers win in business and life

Sales saved my life. 

In 1985, my parents and I emigrated Iran for better opportunities in the United States. 

We left everything and everyone. 

My mom could not get a job at McDonald’s and my Father was earning $3.75 an hour as a shoe salesman. 

We lived in a 600 sq foot apartment and moved multiple times and by the age of 14, I was working. 

I started off as a car porter and janitor and then learned how to market and rent apartments and then eventually sell cars (all by the age of 18).

School was not my thing. 

I barely graduated high school (1.7 GPA). 

I dropped out of college. 

I became a telemarketer for a small mortgage brokerage 

I made over 50,000+ cold calls and quickly became the top telemarketer in the country. 

English is my second language, but sales is my first language. 

I became BUY-lingual. 

At the age of 25, I purchased my first property: a 17-unit apartment building for $1M that I still own today and amassed 100 units before ever leaving my parents home. 

As a residential loan officer, I’ve also personally funded over $1B in home loan volume and $100M+ yearly from 2019 to 2022 alone. 

As a Co-Founder and CEO of GO! Coaching, we achieved 8 figure yearly revenue within four years of inception (all through impacting hundreds of careers). 

And as the Chief Growth Officer of Lower.com, a multi-channel fintech mortgage lender, we recently raised $100M in Series A funding (the largest in Ohio state history) to help catapult us in becoming a top 5 lender by 2030. 

Not bad for an immigrant kid from Iran. 

Selling is the most important skill you must seek. 

Understanding how to illustrate your value verbally, visually and textually, will open doors you won’t believe. 

And I’m walking proof.  

And if you’ve read this far, I have a promise for you: 

Every day, I will share one specific business gem to help you think better, do better, and to be better.  

I do, I learn, I share. 

Let's win together. 

🤜🤛

One of the most underrated aspects of success is having the urgency to do things quickly.

People with urgency:

- Make the cold call
- Send the networking DM
- Post the piece of content
- Get the project done faster
- Find the mentor who changes everything

When you wait, opportunities pass you by.

When you act fast, they don't.

Train yourself to not leave anything for later.

It'll change your career and life.

It's time for strong, modern leadership in the mortgage industry.

I’ve personally funded over $1B in loan volume and $100M+ yearly from 2019 to 2022 alone and only work 45 hours weekly on average, so my family gets the best of me, not the rest of me. 

I bring out the best in any willing Loan Officer, this comes from someone who started from the trenches as a telemarketer, and no shortcuts have ever been taken. 

A few people believed in me, and I realized the impact coaching and community can have on anyone. 

Growth Only Coaching is the fast-growing Residential Loan Officer coaching company in the US and Canada.

We help the Modern Loan Officer grow through a structured marketing and sales operating systems by positioning them to be seen before they are known, liked, and trusted.

Here’s the thing about growth: 

It rarely happens alone.

‍(By the way, this is copy-pasted from a recent newsletter, which you can read at my bio link)

This past month, at our Fall GrowthCon event (which sold out) and 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. 

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.

Something I've found over and over again throughout my career and life:

1. The best salesperson is the one who's studying and practicing the art of sales in their free time.

2. The best speaker is the one who's doing toastmasters and watching YouTube videos on speaking.

3. The fittest person has a trainer, nutritionist, and routine they stick to at least 99% of the time.

Outward success is the tip of the iceberg.

What you do in private is the rest of it.

Dial that in, and you'll get to where you want to GO!

I'm not one of those coaches who's in his 20s. No kids, no wife, tons of time to grind.

Instead, I:

- Have duties as a husband
- Have duties as a father
- Have duties as a leader

One way I juggle all of those is by getting up early.

When you're awake before anyone else, you can:

- Catch up on work that slipped through the cracks
- Go deep on work because you have no distractions
- Get some much-needed reflection and alone time

Become an early riser for a few months.

One hour in the early morning is like getting four hours during the day. 

You'll find that it levels you up in many areas of your life.

If you want a life you don't need an escape from, here are the 5 things you need:

1. People you enjoy working with
2. Work that really interests you
3. Doing something that impacts
4. Strong, meaningful friendships
5. Daily relationship with God

There's nothing wrong with vacations.

I love having all mine planned with my family and friends throughout every year. 

But if you're hurting for an escape from daily life, then work on changing that, not the next trip.

Because if you're not happy on the plane ride to the beach, you won't be happy at the beach ;)

As one of the top modern loan officer coaches in the world, I can tell you from experience:

Information without action not only won't move you forward, it'll start to drive you crazy, too.

That's a major trap.

Accountability is how you avoid it.

At GO!, we make it clear that acceptance into our community means agreeing to be held accountable for ensuring they're applying what they've learned.

You can try to get accountability yourself, but in my years of doing this, I've rarely seen that work.

So, here's my advice:

1. Set up accountability
2. Get good information
3. Apply that information
4. See what actually works
5. Iterate based on the coaching

That's how you win. 

Over and over, again, for a long time.

Something I don't talk about enough: I am a believer in and a follower of God.

There's an idea in Christianity that you can't take credit for anything you do or anything you receive, because it's all Him who does it for you.

I couldn't agree more.

That doesn't mean you just wait around.

You have to:

- Show up daily 
- Execute relentlessly 
- Reflect to become wiser
- Seek others to go farther 
- Fail to learn lessons

But at the end of the day, you must have good intentions. 

God searches the heart and tests the mind to give rewards based on a person's deeds and conduct. 

Be righteous with your motives, grateful for anything you get, and keep faith that more is on the way.

More GO! meetups.

More good times had.

More connections made.

More people winning in the mortgage biz.

Grateful for everyone who showed up at this one.

Be the person who brings people together. 

I hope I see you at the next one!
