I'm back from my trip to India where I spoke to 500+ independent advisors and distributors at the CIFA 2018 conference on the topic of change, which was taped and is available below. I also conducted a 90-minute workshop at a private event for 70 top advisors on the subject of niching and creating an ideal client profile. This taped event was held at CIFA2018, a www.CafeMutual.com event.  It's a 20-minute "Ted-like" talk.
