Going From $250K In Revenue To $500K And...

James Pollard
About this episode

Many financial advisors reach the $250k mark in business and stall out. They might've heard the old cliche that what got you here won't get you to where you want to go. But they haven't internalized what that really means. 

And so, they do the same old things expecting better results, then burn out in the process. 

Here's the good news:

If you're stuck around the $250k mark, this episode explains, in step-by-step detail, what you must do to grow past your plateau. 

You might not like everything you hear. But if you implement it? Your life will look very different a year from now. 

Listen now. 

Show highlights include:

  • 3 "proof of concept" metrics your business must have to bring in a quarter of a million dollars per year (4:17) 
  • Why nothing stifles your business's growth more than being busy (5:10) 
  • Why installing leverage into your marketing is all it takes to break into a season of serious growth (and 2 examples of how to do it) (7:45) 
  • These 6 patterns I've discovered after working with 1000s of financial advisors will take your business from $250k to $500k and beyond (9:18) 
  • The rookie hiring mistake advisors make that seems like growth but actually plants the seeds to their business's destruction (10:01) 
  • The "task batching" productivity hack that frees up an extra week each and every month (13:06) 
  • Why your current friends are keeping you stuck in the low to mid six figures (and the hard decision you must make if you want to reach $1M) (18:51) 
  • How to grow your business by growing yourself (22:27)
