Some people are fish. And other people are birds.  But financial advisors sabotage their marketing efforts and even put their business at stake if they’re fish trying to fly or birds trying to swim.  The point? Everyone has a unique personality. But most financial advisors shy away from their natural personality and try to sweep it under the rug, instead of embracing it.  Why? Well, financial advisors shy away from their personality because they don’t think it’ll unlock more business success. But this isn’t true. In fact, by embracing your personality, not only will you improve your business, but you’ll increase your daily happiness too. That’s why I’m explaining the different personality traits in this episode, and showing you how to base your business around your personality instead of the other way around.   Listen now.  Show highlights include:
