Are you or your advisors stuck in “getting ready” mode, spending more time planning than actually doing?

In this episode, we break down why highly skilled, hardworking financial advisors often stall when it comes to business development.

You’ll learn how perfectionist tendencies, over-preparation, and comparison to others can hold you back from real growth and how to break free from those habits.

Listen in to hear practical, low-barrier ways to build the business development muscle, as well as how to support the next generation of advisors and adapt leadership approaches for today’s evolving business landscape.

You’ll walk away with strategies to move from preparation into action and start bringing new business through the door.
