What To Do Now To Ensure You’re Successf...

James Pollard
About this episode

Most advisors, especially the ones who have already had marginal success, start to get comfortable, get trapped in lifestyle inflation, and never come close to the ambitions they had when they first started. 

I don’t want that to be you (even if you’re currently trapped like most seasoned advisors are).  

So, here’s the harsh truth:

You’re playing too small. 

If you truly want exceptional results, you need exceptional causes. But most advisors stay in the comfort zone and never build the assets that make achieving the next level a matter of when, not if. 

Today’s show is designed to shock you out of your comfort zone, so you can enjoy the freedom that comes with a stronger business. 

Listen now.

Show highlights include:

  • The weird way young and hungry advisors can make up decades of experience in the next 365 days (1:10)
  • What you must start building if you want to be able to spend more time at the pool and beach than you spend in your house (2:14)  
  • The insidious “little pill” trap that successful advisors fall into that subtly devastates their wealth (6:35) 
  • The single most important piece of advice that I wish I received when I was younger (10:05) 
  • How incremental growth slowly ravages your ambition until you wake up one day and realize you’re only average (10:17) 
  • Why it’s more profitable to set big goals you never reach than to set small goals you continue to crush (12:47) 
  • The “Lifestyle Creep” secret behind why young advisors are better positioned to dominate the market than experienced ones (16:19) 
  • Why you’ll never reach the top 1% of advisors if you cut your business expenses when cashflow dries up (21:13)

Stop Trying To Justify What You Charge
I recently made a big, fat, rookie mistake in an advertising campaign. The mistake? I tried to justify an objection I imagined my ideal customers had… except they didn’t have this objection and the advertising copy completely backfired on me. But you know what? Since I suffered t ... Show More

Why Using Artificial Intelligence For Your Marketing Is Really Dumb
Advisors who rely on artificial intelligence for their marketing are accidentally sacrificing their business, career, and wealth for average results by definition. But wait - there’s more! Not only is AI planting the seeds to your business’s destruction… but it’s also literally s ... Show More

How Advisors Can Avoid Commoditization
I had a slimy experience with a popular mattress company after they didn’t honor my warranty (even though I was within their 10-year warranty period). And, oddly enough, it reminded me of financial advisors like you. Especially those who are worried about being commoditized by th ... Show More
