    The Best Part? Implementation and Execution.

    You don’t have to “go it alone.” As an experienced implementation and execution partner to hundreds of financial advisor practices across the country, our team loves getting their hands dirty and partnering with right-fit advisors to help them achieve a predictable practice. If we both agree that there’s a mutual fit worth exploring, then we’ll meet you wherever you’re at on your path to monetization and creating future zeros inside of your practice.

    Who Should Attend?

    Does your practice feel like you’ve hit a glass ceiling? This event combines two powerful and highly engaging meeting formats: an interactive executive panel and the open dialogue of an intimate mastermind roundtable session. This workshop dives deep into the processes that bridge the gap between “possible” and “predictable.”

    This one-day event is chocked-full of valuable information for the successful advisor -- but it isn't for everybody. This event will appeal most to entrepreneurial-minded advisors who:

    • Recognize the importance of process and systems (but may struggle to implement)
    • Are ready to maximize the value of their practice (regardless of when you may wish to exit fully)
    • Believe in “process” and are open to ideas
    • Are done with “winging it” year after year
    • Want to ditch the 50-60+ hour work weeks

    Many attendees may find themselves wrestling with the answers to these questions:

    • What do you want to occur in your business in the next 3 to 6 to 9 years?
    • What is your ultimate exit strategy?
    • How will you ever get chips off the table?
    • When do you plan to transfer the operational risk of your business to somebody else?
    • Do you wish to grow through acquisition? If so, do you have a capital partner that allows you to target acquisitions?
    • Can your NextGen (Gen 2) advisor afford to buy you out?
    • How do I find my next generation advisor?

    What Advisors Are Saying

    If you're still not sure, don't take our word for it. Here's what a few of our previous attendees thought after attending our workshop:

    I've been doing this for 20 years. And it's the little tweaks that changed how I look at doing business - understanding process and slowing down but accomplishing more.

    John S., Michigan

    The event was very impressive. The mindset isn't about watching every nickel and dime. It's about providing service to your clients and practicing what you preach.

    Doug B., Texas

    My time horizon for exiting the business is 4-6 years. I wish I had access to the information shared in this session a decade ago.
