If you’re a mortgage broker who’s thinking about going self-employed, or you’re already running your own firm and wondering what’s next, then this is for you. In this week’s episode of The Mortgage Broker Broadcast, I sat down again with returning guest Jonathan Needham to talk about something exciting we’ve been working on—a free webinar on July 3rd for brokers ready to transition or grow in their self-employed journey.
Why We Brought Jonathan Back So Soon
Jonathan was last on the podcast just a few weeks ago, and the feedback we received after that episode was nothing short of incredible. It sparked an influx of direct messages, comments, and conversations from brokers at all stages—employed, newly qualified, or already self-employed—who were all asking the same thing:
“I know where I want to go, but I don’t know how to get there.”
So we decided to do something about it. Rather than let that momentum fade, we’re running a two-hour free webinar to create a roadmap for brokers looking to go from point A (employed or uncertain) to point B (successful self-employed business owner).
Why This Matters
Let’s face it, becoming a self-employed mortgage broker is no small feat. There are countless questions to answer: How do you transition smoothly? What should your business look like? How do you stay motivated when doubts creep in?
Jonathan and I have both walked that path, and we’re still walking it—helping brokers navigate the ups and downs of building a sustainable, values-led business. We’re not here to sell a course or push you into a sales funnel. We’re here to provide real, honest guidance.
What the Webinar Will Cover
On July 3rd, from 6pm to 8pm, we’ll cover:
- The mindset you need to succeed as a self-employed broker
- The practical steps to move from employed to independent
- How to deal with rejection, doubt, and fear
- The difference between working in your business and on your business
- How to create real value and build a brokerage that works with or without you
You’ll also hear from brokers we’ve helped on this journey—from CEMAP-qualified with no experience to fully self-employed and thriving.
Why We’re Doing This
Because we know how overwhelming this path can be. Because we believe there’s not enough honest, no-strings-attached guidance out there. And because if even one broker feels more confident, more empowered, and more ready after this webinar, then it’s worth every second.
Who It’s For
- Employed brokers considering the leap to self-employment
- Brand-new CEMAP-qualified advisers wondering what to do next
- Self-employed brokers stuck or thinking about scaling
- AR brokers feeling unsupported or unsure about going DA
- Anyone in the mortgage industry looking for clarity and community
The Power of Community and Honesty
This isn’t a polished corporate pitch. It’s real talk from two people who’ve been there—and from brokers who are living proof that it’s possible. No gimmicks, no pressure. Just honest advice in a safe, anonymous, supportive space.
“The voice in your head telling you to go self-employed won’t go away until you listen to it.” – Craig Skelton
So if that voice is getting louder, now is the time to act.
