Advisors: Stop Doing This If You Want To...

James Pollard
About this episode

One subscriber to my Inner Circle Newsletter, while he cared about his clients and helped grow their wealth, struggled with a mental block that robs more advisors every day than I can keep track of. 

The mental block? 

Needing permission to do, well, any action that could grow your business by a scary amount. 

These advisors are waiting for a golden ticket. They think the universe will see all their hard half-work they didn't finish and reward them with entry into the knighthood of the wealthiest advisors. 

And so, they sit around, and wait. And wait. And wait. 

Until one day, many years later, they wake up from this stupor and realize that a "hope and pray" marketing strategy is good for one thing: Bankrupting your business.  

If that sounds like you, don't worry. Today's show will help you remove this mental block before it suffocates your advisory business. 

Listen now.

Show highlights include:

  • The insidious "prospecting reluctance" trap advisors fall in that destines them to a mediocre business (3:12) 
  • The #1 biggest obstacle to your success (and it's not your market, your competitors, or your current clients) (4:28)
  • How to become wealthy beyond your wildest dreams when a guru hasn't blessed your strategy, you don't have a fancy title, and you lack real experience (4:51) 
  • Why seeking credentials, while important for credibility, becomes a crutch to feed your procrastination (5:02) 
  • The emotional mindset shift that's the main difference between an advisor worth $10 million and one worth $50,000 (7:45)
  • The "ACR" secret from psychology that shows you how to be wealthy, fulfilled, and happy—at the same time (12:57) 
  • The 3 most common signs you're subconsciously seeking permission (19:24)
