This is episode 4 of Nate Atkin’s $100 Million Dollar Journey, where we follow the real-time decisions, bottlenecks, and breakthroughs involved in building a mortgage business at scale. We talk about what happens when your business starts working and you become the bottleneck. Nate shares where his pipeline is at, how he used an HR company to hire his first underwriter, and what he’s learning about letting go, onboarding well, and building the business for the next stage of growth. If you’re busy, buried in files, and know you need help but are nervous about hiring, this episode will be useful. In this episode, we cover: Why Hiring Helped - Nate shares how using an HR company saved time and helped him find the right underwriter faster. How to Let Go - We talk about what it takes to hand off work and trust someone else with the file flow. How to Onboard the Right Way - A strong hire still needs clear systems, a mapped client journey, and a plan. What Comes Next - Once the hire is in place, the next focus is lead gen, capacity, and removing the next bottleneck. Hiring the right person is not the finish line. It’s what gives you the capacity to grow.
