In this episode of Breakaway Gear Shift, Shea sits down with Sigi—one of Breakaway’s top-performing Founder’s Circle advisors—to pull back the curtain on what really drives sustainable growth in an advisory practice.

• How to build momentum early by choosing the right first clients and focusing on learning-by-doing.
• Why team leverage is a true accelerator—and how to decide what to delegate (and when).
• How to navigate client misalignment without panic, and how letting go can create space for better-fit engagements.
• The behind-the-scenes systems that keep clients happy, including the project management discipline that transformed Sigi’s delivery and confidence.
• A refreshing take on the niching conversation—and why a nontraditional, variety-driven model can still thrive.
• The mindset shift new advisors need most to shorten their learning curve and grow with confidence.

If you’re an advisor looking for tangible, real-world insights from someone who has built a thriving practice through intention, resilience, and smart support, this episode is a must-listen.
