BUSINESS,
BUT SANER.
Create the systems
and confidence to grow
your business without
losing your
frikken mind.
“Start a business” they said.
”You’ll have flexibility and freedom!” they said.
What they didn’t mention were the 10pm client texts, the 3am remembering-to-do-something-you-forgot panic, the mental load, and the creeping burnout.
We’ve been there too - running a successful business that nearly ran us… off a cliff.
That’s why we created More Than Mentoring Group - to teach you the stuff we learned (the hard way), and help you build systems, confidence, and calm - putting your life (and sanity) back together.
More calm. Less chaos.

COURSES TO SAVE
YOUR SANITY
Hate networking? Same. So let’s build your lead flow the right way - by giving real value, consistently, with zero expectation of a deal.
You’ll learn how to treat every client (and every maybe-client) like your nana, who’s about to do a $3 million loan with you.
We’ll refine your process from application to settlement (and beyond) so it’s smooth, easy, and built on integrity.
Because the truth is, around 70% of new business comes from repeat clients or referrals - and that only happens when you’re excellent every single time.

One thing to note – this course is only worth your money if you're ready to show up, do the work, and implement what you learn. Here's what I'd like you to commit to:
Do the homework. I know you're a busy broker, so I'm not going to ask for much – but if you don't practise this stuff, you won't retain it, and you're throwing your money away.
Participate and share with the group. The more interactive the sessions are, the more fun we'll all have – and your brain will retain a lot more.
Be willing to step outside your comfort zone. Don't worry – we won't be doing any dancing or eye-gazing exercises. What I mean is, speak up and ask questions even if you think they might be dumb ones. There are no stupid questions. And when you do, you give everyone else in the group permission to do the same.
If you can commit to those three things – let's go.
We’ll cover purchases, refinances, and equity releases, plus how to explain the “why” behind every recommendation so clients actually get it.
We’ll also walk through scenarios to teach you how to calculate offset savings, LMI, and learn how to work out if a rate lock is worthwhile – the kind of detail that turns you from “just another broker” into a trusted pro.
It’s about mastering the simple stuff, so you can deliver consistency, clarity, and real confidence with every deal.

This is where we dig into the more complex scenarios – structuring loans across larger property portfolios, using equity to grow, and ensuring loans are set up in a way where your clients stay in control.
We'll cover how to structure loans for tax efficiency, explore family equity and bridging loans, and unpack the many flavours of construction lending that land on your desk. You'll also get practical insight into trust lending, debt recycling strategies, and when a substitution of security actually makes sense.
Each session includes discussion, Q&A, and homework to help you implement what you've learned. Session notes are provided after each session.

“There wasn’t a question Dee couldn’t answer. Bring good questions and you’ll get good answers.
Dee is a long-term top broker in Australia who works on complex lending daily. The biggest value for me was the practical side, and knowing I can lean on her to work through complex financials via Zoom if needed, which many utilised.”
— Mel Sawywer, Down to Earth Mortgage Broking
“I just wrapped up Deanna’s 8-week program with More Than Mentoring Group, and honestly, it’s been one of the more useful things I’ve done since starting my own brokerage.
The biggest learning point for me was around structuring. I thought I had a decent handle on it, but she simplified a lot of things and gave me a clearer way to approach deals that I can actually use with clients straight away.
The visual tools she’s built are a brilliant. Being able to map out options and send something clean and easy to understand to clients makes a massive difference, she even goes one better and does a video explanation to her clients for easier understanding, something way out of my comfort zone… but it takes a lot of the back-and-forth out of the process.
What I liked most though was that she didn’t just stay high level. She went into everything, from workflow and process right through to how she’s structured her own business to run as efficiently as possible. That level of detail is hard to find.
She’s also just easy to learn from. Good personality, explains things properly, and doesn’t overcomplicate it, which is big, especially for newer brokers. She’ll have a laugh to break the ice, and relieve the tension, and she actually listens, if someone wanted to go deeper on something, she’d adjust on the fly without throwing the whole session off.
For me, it wasn’t just “good content”, it’s stuff I’m already using. I would absolutely recommend the More than Mentoring Group to help any start-up business refine their structure and process.”
— Andrew Vann, Your Home Loan Guy
“Loved my experience with More Than Mentoring. De is a highly experienced broker who provided valuable guidance, insights and real-life examples throughout the program. I learnt a lot about different scenarios and ways to structure deals more effectively.
De explains concepts in a clear, relatable way and tailors the sessions to suit everyone’s level of experience and knowledge.
I came away with a much stronger understanding and greater confidence in my own ability. I would highly recommend More Than Mentoring.”
— Tristina Haines, More Than Mortgages
“I already had processes in place and felt competent as a broker and business owner but wished to improve.
De provided guidance and was very generous in the sharing of valuable resources to facilitate my own development.
I really appreciated the opportunity to see how De creatively delivers the loan recommendation to her clients and the processes she has implemented to define roles within a large team which is relevant once a brokerage scales.
From a skillset perspective I appreciated her take on debt recycling.”
— Cyndi Lynch, Mortgage Pilot

ABOUT
DEANNA
Deanna Ezzy (De) is living proof that where you start doesn’t define where you end up.
Born in Townsville and raised in New Zealand, De’s early years were marked by addiction and domestic violence, and at times, she and her mum experienced homelessness. By 17, De knew she had two choices: stay stuck, or change her story.
In 2005, she packed her bags and moved to Australia, determined to build a better life. A few years later, she spotted a job ad for a broker’s assistant - a true sliding doors moment. She found her passion, and her people. With hard work and the mentorship of two brokers who modelled integrity and balance, De began building her career - and transforming her life.
She went on to become one of Australia’s top mortgage brokers, ranking in the national Top 100 for a decade and settling over
$1 billion in home loans. But what lit her up most was mentoring - coaching others to find clarity, confidence, and calm in their own businesses.
That’s why she founded More Than Mentoring.
Her purpose is simple: to pay it forward - and help brokers and business owners create calm, scalable, fulfilling businesses. And to show that no matter how your story begins, you can design a life - and career - that you love.
