We talk a lot about systems, workflows, delegation, and building more efficient financial planning practices around here. But today, we're switching things up! I'm taking you behind the scenes of the advisory practice I built, the mistakes I made along the way, and how I managed to run a $1.5 million practice serving 285 households while working just three days a week. I'm answering some of your most frequently asked questions about my team, my first hires, why I sold my practice, and what I've learned about building a business that supports the life you actually want to live. And because so many of you have been asking, we're getting personal, too! I'm sharing my engagement story, how Kevin and I met, and a little encouragement for anyone navigating a difficult season of life.
In this episode you will learn:
- How I built a $1.5 million, referral-only practice serving 285 households on a three-day workweek.
- What my team looked like, the hiring mistakes I made, and how I learned to delegate effectively.
- Why I sold my financial planning practice and what I've learned about defining success on your own terms.
- The story behind my recent engagement and why life's hardest chapters don't have to be the last.
Whether you're looking to grow your advisory practice, reclaim your time, or simply get a little more intentional about what you're building, I hope this episode reminds you that success doesn't have to look like anyone else's version. At the end of the day, we're not building businesses just to build businesses. We're building them to support lives we actually love. And sometimes the most important work we do has nothing to do with the office.
