"I'm Not Ready For Marketing"

About this episode

This episode addresses the self-sabotaging belief among financial advisors that they are not ready for marketing and dismantles it from various angles.

This episode may make you uncomfortable, but it's too important to avoid. There is a silly and self-sabotaging belief that runs rampant amongst financial advisors. It is actively destructive and extraordinarily expensive. And the only reason it exists is because it protects you from discomfort and responsibility. The belief? "I'm not ready for marketing." This one poisonous belief has destroyed more advisors' wealth, time, energy, and even lives (due to the extra frustration and stress it causes over time) than anything else. And I'm completely dismantling it for you, from every conceivable angle, in this episode so you never fall prey to this mind virus. Listen now. Show highlights include: A lethal and self-sabotaging marketing mistake advisors make with pride (it's like waiting to plant seeds until the crop is tall enough) (0:54) The root cause of ANY financial advisor's business success (and the harsh reality about why so many advisors fall flat on their face) (3:48) How to "jimmy" the laws of marketing to work in your favor (and why this scares the snot out of most advisors) (5:00) The imaginary timeline that quietly runs most advisors' careers without their ever knowing it…
