How To Create A Marketing Plan That Aligns With Your Unique Goals
19:06 Share

Many financial advisors think they must sacrifice everything they love in order to build a successful business. For example, they’ll take another prospect call instead of spending the afternoon with their son.  But this is the wrong way to build a business. Your business shouldn't require you to sacrifice anything. Because your business exists to serve you, not the other way around. Why do financial advisors sacrifice everything they love in life for their business? Well, it’s probably because they aren’t making enough money–or because they haven’t created a marketing plan that aligns with their unique personality, business and lifestyle goals.  In this episode, you’ll discover how to create a marketing plan that not only generates more cash flow, but creates more freedom and happiness too.  Listen now.
