Harsh Truths Only The Top 1% Of Financia...

James Pollard
About this episode

I've noticed a trend among financial advisors: 

Only advisors who are in the top 1% (or have the potential to be in the top 1%) dare to embrace certain harsh truths about themselves and their businesses. 

The other 99% shy away from harsh truths and try to ignore them. But here's the thing… 

You can't ignore these harsh truths. If you're making one of these mistakes, it's only a matter of time before your business crashes and burns. Or worse, it's locked in a purgatory state of mediocrity where your goals are forever out of reach. 

Think you can stomach the harsh truths that only the top 1% of financial advisors can?

There's only one way to find out - 

Listen now.

Show highlights include:

  • The harsh truth that no financial advisor wants to hear (but must hear because it can save your business) (1:32) 
  • This social media mistake can make you depressed, force your business into bankruptcy, and gaslight you into thinking you're being productive (2:42) 
  • The single most criminally underrated business "skill" only the top 1% of financial advisors have (and how the 901 secret helps you build it) (4:05) 
  • Listen to this if you let your anxiety run your business before it sabotages everything you worked so hard to build (6:59) 
  • Why hobbies with quantifiable metrics can actually make you a more effective marketer for your financial advice business (15:22) 
  • How leveraging your achievements in marketing, especially ones that aren't related to financial success, attract your ideal clients while repelling the headache clients (18:45)
