Before playing the game, you need to have a game plan. As Advisors, we already know by now that the best way to go into something with confidence, is by having a solid plan. Now that you’ve decided to go independent, it’s your turn to plan for yourself. 

For today’s episode, we will be sharing the 7 important things we’ve learned when we were beginning our own independent paths in this industry. We’re sharing crucial information on what you actually need and what you don’t need to help save your time, energy, and more importantly, your finances. 

As our allies in this industry, we want to be of help to you as you begin this new chapter in your career – to give you the confidence boost that you need. It won’t be easy, but you will be more confident and sure when you enter the business knowing what to do and having a plan. 

Listen to this episode, reflect on the points, create your plan, and whenever you’re ready, jump on it when the time is right for you!
