The 30 Minutes That Saved My Sanity…!
I’m writing to you sitting here in my board shorts and t-shirt at a table around my pool.
Sitting out here tonight reminded me of a big decision I made at this same table a few fair few years ago, between Christmas & New Years.
I haven’t shared this story before, but I’m doing it in the hope that it might be what you need to hear right now.
Back then, I was doing 1 on 1 client meetings & appointments and was frustrated to the core (that’s an understatement).
I’D WORKED MY BACKSIDE OFF ALL THE PREVIOUS YEAR, AND HAD NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT.
I got all our clients, did all the meetings, all the face-to-face client work, all the strategy notes and the planning, the marketing, the follow up, the ‘stuff’….
I was exhausted. I had to work my guts out to get the clients, and then stop that part to deliver the advice.
There was enough WORK for us, but not enough MONEY.
I had a young family and was always playing catch up with my bills. I was stressed about being able to provide for my wife and our young family.
STAY WITH ME HERE, THIS EMAIL IS ALL ABOUT YOU
I wasn’t going through another year like that.
It was the end of the year. That time of year gives us a natural pause, just enough space between the ‘busyness’ of life to take a quick time-out and look in the mirror.
Doesn’t have to be New Years Day for you to give yourself a pause, look in the mirror, and make some shifts.
If you look in the mirror, or at the scoreboard – and don’t like what you see:
GREAT!
I asked, “How do I want my business & life to be different?”
See, I wanted to…
Help more people.
Make more money.
Make a bigger difference.
Have more impact.
Have heaps more free time, fun and joy every day – and get my life back.
So I sold off 700 clients out of 900, took the best of them – my specialty and niche – and completely changed my MODEL.
I launched a completely Fee4Advice business model that went on to become my Client Care program.
Within 4 months, I’d almost doubled my income, and got my life back.
And it all came from sitting down, reflecting at the end of a year and making that one simple SHIFT!
WHAT’S THIS GOT TO DO WITH YOU?
Plenty. I don’t tell you this to impress you, but to drive home ONE POWER THOUGHT:
Your life & your business can radically change in the next few weeks & months, if you take a quick time out now, and focus on what needs to change.
So let me coach you now:
1. How do you want your financial planning business to be different?
2. How do you want your income to be different?
3. How do you want your marketing to be different?
So, what’s the biggest area you need to change?
