Who doesn’t love a good underdog story? Everyone loves to see good things happen to good people. Today’s episode is exactly that— but with a healthy dose of takeaways and practical ideas for you as you grow your financial planning business.In this episode, I interview an advisor who started off selling senior trips, became a police officer, and then built a financial planning empire by working with what he knows. Today’s episode is the ultimate power move in niche marketing and explores what it takes to grow, scale, and build a national brand.What I love about Nick is that he is so self-aware. Nick shares the hard parts about scaling and some of the struggles that come along with moving from advisor to CEO.
