    And I'm finally going to reveal to you exactly HOW I did that.

    Join me LIVE on January 30th for The Inbound Leads Masterclass where you'll discover the framework for how advisors & insurance agents are generating inbound leads, getting fully booked calendars, and hitting $25k/mo consistently without working harder.

    🚀 Episode Highlights:

    • Reflecting on My 2019 Breakthrough Year: I absolutely LOVE looking back and determining what I did in the past to see success. And I think this is particularly powerful because nowadays I have a lot more awareness and support than I did back then -- so to see the tools I used in 2019 is so interesting!
    • The Unsustainability Lesson: In I had an amazing year. But it was entirely unsustainable. In fact, Jan/Feb/March of 2020 were some of the most challenging months ever. In the episode I share not only the successes, but also the challenges I faced running my business in that way in 2019. You'll also hear me emphasize the importance of balance and a long-term vision for a thriving business.
    • Transitioning to System-Based Success: Explore how my current success is now rooted in SYSTEMS, staff management, and a refined vision for my business.
    • The TWO Keys to My Success: (1) A Singular Focus on FactFinders and (2) Unshakable Belief
    • Balancing Front End and Back End Activities: I also share insights into the delicate balance between front-end activities (aka factfinders and prospecting) and back-end activities (closing, case prep,e tc.). In the episode I share an all to common pitfall that advisors make in their first 2 years of business!

                                      Scottie's Launch Journey:

                                      Scottie kicks off the episode by narrating his recent Academy launch experience, aiming for a $50,000 revenue goal. He reflects on the shift from feeling empowered and aligned to waking up with a sense of overwhelm.

                                      Visualization and Manifestation:

                                      Discover the power of 10-minute meditations for manifesting goals. Scottie shares his visualization technique, emphasizing the importance of feeling the achievement in the present moment rather than a distant future.

                                      The Wake-Up Call:

                                      The realization hits hard – Scottie acknowledges being the bottleneck in his own business. He explores the conflict between commitment to service and the pursuit of freedom, shedding light on the need for balance.

                                      Systematizing for Success:

                                      Unpack the concept of systematizing tasks for business growth. Scottie stresses the importance of streamlining processes to allow for more efficiency and freedom in the pursuit of higher income.

                                      "I have to let the f**k go in order to make more money. I'm doing too much myself."

                                                    • My story & struggles... and insights for when you face challenges

                                                      Welcome back to another episode my friends!

                                                      This episode is one of my most vulnerable, because I'm sharing my story -- and holding back nothing.

                                                      A lot of times social media just shows you the highlight reel. But the struggles we go through are universal (EVERYONE has their moments) -- and those struggles are what often help build the most character, resiliance, and desire for change.

                                                      I also wanted to record this episode because I'm a very optimistic person, and sometimes my optimisim creates "selective amnesia" for myself LOL. Meaning, I go through tough times then basically just "move on" because hyper-fixating on my struggles doesn't allow for more growth.

                                                      I really hope you enjoy this episode and are able to pick up some lessons from the thigns I went through!
