Every successful advisor on the planet is doing these six things to scale their business.  See which factors you’re already using and create those you’re missing.  Bring these systems to your business and see how they work for you!   Pricing Pricing your services “just right” appears at the beginning of this list because successful advisors price their services based on the value they provide to their clients and on what their ideal clients will pay.  They don’t give away services or discount their fees because of possible future earnings.  Their ideal clients don’t ask for discounts.  They don’t pick their pricing out of a hat or based only articles they’ve read, .  They plan their

Must Have WordPress Plugins For Your Advisory Website

2022-08-07T16:12:04-04:00July 22nd, 2019|Website Development|0 Comments

A plugin is a piece of software that enhances the capabilities of what something can do. Some hosting companies (that's where your website files are located) offer a variety of plugins such as adding WordPress to your site in 1 or 2 easy steps. I did a 15-minute video on how to set up a WordPress site here.   Since then, I've moved all my sites to SiteGround, which has better customer service than the company I mention in the video but does things in pretty much the same way.

The church was paying $97 for a year's worth of virus protection directly to a virus protection company.   PLUS they were paying $9.49 a month to their internet provider for, you guessed it, virus protection.  It's been that way for years.

2022-08-07T16:12:05-04:00July 12th, 2019|Productivity & Goals|0 Comments

Chances are that the way you conduct an introductory meeting with a prospect is backward. Same goes with the way you introduce yourself in person at a networking event.  Same goes with how your website is set up. Let me explain.  When we work for someone else, including working in Corporate America, like me, we learned business best practices from the standpoint of the company. It’s more about the company, then the client, and then you. Things change when you own your own business. Plus, over time, and especially with the introduction of the internet, today’s prospects are looking you up online. But they’re looking for connection, respect, understanding, and value before they plunk down their
