Do you ever have the best of intentions and yet feel a little lost with your business soon after the New Year? What I mean is that the time between New Year’s and the end of the first quarter is often a blur, and as a result, you may not feel like you are on your way to accomplishing the goals you set just weeks ago. Does this sound like you? If so, know that you are not alone.

How do you measure success in your business? Do you measure it only by one set of measurements, accomplishing goals? For example, the goal is to gather twenty-four million in new assets in a year. If you achieve it, you succeed, but if you don’t, you fail. It seems pretty straightforward. 

Most financial advisors, insurance agents, wholesalers, branc...

Do you know what it takes to create a record setting year? You might be thinking that it’s simple- if I do more, I will get better results.

Do you have a well-thought-out strategy to start your day off right? Like many, you might not. Instead, you probably have morning routines on auto-pilot, like making your bed, brushing your teeth, and running out the door with a cup of coffee in your hand, ready to battle morning rush hour traffic. If so, know that you are not alone!

Have you ever wondered how successful advisors keep reaching the next level? Some people might say that it is just luck, while others might say it’s about skill. I believe that it really comes down to one simple but powerful thing that they apply each and every day. It’s all about having efficient and productive business habits! You see, those who are successful seem to have daily habits that continue to create more success, while ...

Have you ever walked into a prospect or client appointment needing someone to take action… only to walk out feeling like you pushed too hard or missed the moment, because the action you wanted didn't occur?

Have you ever left multiple voicemails, sent follow-up emails, or even texted a client only to hear nothing back for days or weeks? You like the client, but you don’t like the situation. They don’t seem to understand the urgency!

Have you ever had one of those days where everything seems to go wrong? You sit down ready to work, but your day gets hijacked by emails, phone calls, client interruptions, and tasks you didn’t plan for, leaving you feeling exhausted and unproductive.

Have you ever felt like you’re working hard, putting in the hours, doing all the right things, but still not getting the results you are used to? You’re not alone. For many advisors, it’s not about effort, but rather it’s about systems.

Do you want to get to the next level with your business, but you are unsure how? The answer might lie in finding your business's red flags.
