“Are You a Lion or a Gazelle?”

Every day in this business, you wake up and make a choice…
Are you a lion, or are you a gazelle? Because both wake up in the same world same market, same rates, same uncertainty.
The difference? The lion wakes up with purpose. The gazelle wakes up with fear.

See, a lion doesn’t chase every sound it hears. It doesn’t waste energy on noise. It studies. It waits. It moves with intention.

Awh… but the gazelle?
The gazelle runs the moment it hears a rustle, it reacts to everything, controlled by its environment.

That’s what a lot of loan officers are doing right now; they are being told to react instead of plan.
They hear one rate change, one rumor, one tough month and they sprint. From company to company. From system to system. From chaos to chaos.

Their leaders are gazelles; and know this a gazelle will never teach a Lion how to lead.

The lion’s not like that.
The lion knows who it is, what it’s hunting, and when it’s time to move; or stay put; it commits.
Whatever the decision, they are ALL IN, always.

At Fairway, we don’t build teams of gazelles. We build lions.
People who are tired of reacting and ready to lead.
People who understand that success isn’t about chasing every opportunity… it’s about aligning with the right one.

If you’re waking up every day running from noise, it might be time to step into Lion Mode.
To stop reacting and start leading. Because the jungle doesn’t reward speed, if it did the Lion would not be the king.

It rewards focus.

So… are you a lion, or a gazelle?
The choice is yours.

Keep leading.
Keep hunting.
And as always — keep playing… because that’s how the Lion Reigns over his jungle.
