Lessons From An Advisor's First Six Months In Business

Mark Hansen, today’s podcast guest, is a brand-new financial advisor. Just 6 months ago, he was in a completely different industry and field. 

But he’s been able to accomplish more for his financial advising business in 6 months than most advisors do in 6 years. 

Why?

Well, that’s what Mark and I chat about today. You’ll discover how Mark leverages the fundamentals to grow his business, and how you can do the same for your business—no matter how long you’ve been a financial advisor.
