During my Inner Circle Member Office Hours (which happen exclusively for Inner Circle members on the second Tuesday of each month), a member asked me how I’d market an advisor with $100,000 in capital.  And so, I wanted to give you the exact step-by-step framework I’d use if I had an extra $100,000 to spare for an advisor.  Best part?

While I love when financial advisors read marketing books to level up their skills…  Most of the advice isn’t just downright wrong for the financial industry, but it can have the opposite intended effect! That means reading books like “The E-Myth,” “Who Not How,” “$100M Offers,” and “Building A Story Brand” can actually hurt your marketing, strangle your business, and breed resentment in your clients?  How?  I explain how this happens in today’s episode.  Listen now.
