There’s a chance you’ll either love this episode… or you’ll stop listening halfway through because you feel personally attacked. 

Here’s why: 

After spending over a decade working closely with thousands of financial advisors, I’ve discovered that there are 15 signs a financial advisor isn’t going to succeed. In fact, I actively try to repel financial advisors who demonstrate even one of the 15 signs. 

If you have even one of these 15 signs, you have to change it like your business depends on it. Because it does. 

You might not like what you hear in this episode… but if you heed my advice, you might be able to succeed. 

Only one way to know:

Listen now. 

Show highlights include:

  • The single most defeating mindset too many financial advisors have (2:30) 
  • How I can tell with near 100% certainty whether or not a financial advisor will succeed based on one word (3:47) 
  • Here’s the cold, hard truth you don’t want to hear about why your marketing falls on deaf ears (5:57) 
  • The “Reading Test” to use in all of your ads that naturally repels horrible clients (and makes your dream clients drool about working with you) (9:11) 
  • Why worrying about the compliance department puts the nail in your financial advice business's coffin (18:00) 
  • The fastest way financial advisors end up broke and embarrassed (and why this is far more common than you might think) (20:16)
