    Why Financial Advisors Need Clarity On Their Ideal Client

    Why Financial Advisors Need Clarity On Their Ideal Client

    Hi everyone, and welcome to The Magellan Network Show. For years, we've discussed the "ideal client" concept in our industry. Today, let’s discuss the factors that set the best clients apart for your business.

    When advisors consider their ideal clients, they typically focus on wealth, occupation, or life stage. Economic factors such as these are inevitable, especially if you're running a profitable business, but are these all that matter?

    In this episode, we'll discuss four core characteristics that define your ideal client relationship.

    I also talked about:
    (04:30) Why a client’s likeability is crucial
    (05:44) An exercise to help you connect with a person
    (07:25) The three types of convincer strategies
    (10:39) Why I don’t believe in discounting or negotiations when it comes to fees
    (12:57) Why advisors should have a client scorecard system


    The Magellan Academy & Network

    The rules and tools for success in the financial services industry are about to change radically.

    I have spent over 25 years coaching only financial advisors. In that time, I have personally conducted over 50,000 individual coaching sessions. I have built a profound knowledge base of what it takes to achieve lifelong success in business and life. In my career, I have transformed 1,000’s of advisors (below are video and written testimonials by many of them).

    Many of you probably paid thousands of dollars to various coaching programs with very mixed results. Most coaching programs are just that. A pre-planned process that is “cookie cutter”. Where they have salespeople having to “sell” you on their program and results. In most cases, it’s about the coach, their ego, and their money. They base their program on “practice management” or “marketing”. They make you more intelligent. What they all fail to do is help you make that “mindset” shift that must happen for you to realize your dreams and vision.

    I am going to coach you, teach you, inspire you, and train you all on your mobile device every business day. You are going to get better at business development, practice management, personal development, and your vision.

    Here is what you are going to get from me each month:
    - A 5-10 minute morning coach video each business day.
    - 3 training videos of 20-30 minutes each. This will be a deep dive into four areas I mentioned above.
    - A live group coaching session where you and I can interact and work together.

    Here is what you can do each month:
    - Post a question to me and I will answer it.
    - Collaborate and associate with like-minded advisors.
    - Invite other great advisors into the network.

    Your Bottom Line:
    Here is the deal. I am not going to ask you for a credit card. Like I said before, coaching is personality driven. You might not like my style or tactics. So with that in mind here is my offer to you. Complete the short form below. You will receive an email with detailed instructions on how to join the network for the next 14-days. I personally approve each submission so this might take a few hours or a day at the most. I will not ask for compensation of any kind during that 14-days.

    If after experiencing my work for 30-days and if you believe that I can help you, here is the deal. To remain in Magellan Network and have access to Magellan Academy, your daily investment in yourself will only be about the price of a Latte these days. One more thing, it’s a month-to-month deal. I’m not going to lock you into anything.

    How Financial Advisors Can Drive Profits Into Their Business

    How Financial Advisors Can Drive Profits Into Their Business

    Hello and welcome to The Magellan Network Show. Today, we’ll discuss a crucial topic often overlooked in our industry: profits.

    It's interesting that most advisors don't talk much about household profitability. This is probably because most of us have been taught that there is no such thing as a bad client and that more is always better. However, this is not always the case.

    My goal for this episode is to broaden your understanding of what it truly costs to maintain a household in this sector and inspire actionable steps to enhance profitability.

    I also discussed:
    (06:40) The first thing advisors need to understand about profits
    (07:16) How do we drive profits?
    (09:31) Why advisors cannot operate as nonprofits
    (10:12) Why we should make it our duty to understand our numbers
    (14:15) Why every household should stand on its own profitability

    As an advisor, your daily and weekly habits greatly influence your long-term success. The actions you consistently take can have a compounding effect on your results over time.

    In this episode, we'll dissect habits, emphasize why it's crucial to pay attention to them and explore the obstacles that often prevent us from developing them.

    I also discussed:
    (04:34) The five core habits for advisors
    (04:42) How to sabotage your morning ritual
    (06:58) Why you need to track your habits

    Why Financial Advisors Must Own The First Hour Of Every Day

    Why Financial Advisors Must Own The First Hour Of Every Day

    Hello and welcome to this episode of The Magellan Network Show. Back in early January. I gave you 21 success protocols and spent the next several weeks breaking each into a mini masterclass.

    For today’s episode, I'd like to discuss why morning rituals are important, share my morning ritual protocol, and explain why every advisor has to own their first hour of every day.

    In my 30 years as a coach, I’ve discovered that unlocking success begins with seizing control of your day, starting with the first hour. For financial advisors, this sets the tone for productivity, focus, and success.

    I also talked about the following:

    (06:15) Where the concept of morning rituals came from
    (07:20) Why having quiet time in the morning is critically important
    (11:45) The importance of reviewing your goals daily
    (13:31) Why your daily game plan must be done way before you reach your office
    (20:15) The three factors that will determine an advisor’s level of success

    Why Financial Advisors Need To Be Intentional Of Their Mental Diet

    Why Financial Advisors Need To Be Intentional Of Their Mental Diet

    Hi everyone, and welcome to this episode of The Magellan Network Show. As we barrel through the first quarter of the year, I'd like to focus on a "non-negotiable" in the advisor game - the concept of mental diets.

    Similar to a physical diet where the food you consume greatly impacts your health and fitness, what you feed your mind is equally influential to your mental state.

    In this episode, I'll discuss why paying attention to your mental diet is critical and offer some do's and don'ts for maintaining a healthy mind.

    I also talked about the following:

    (03:05) What is a mental diet?
    (07:02) Why news is like sugar to your brain
    (15:52) How to NOT get consumed by social media
    (16:57) Why advisors should stop becoming drones
    (18:54) The most significant tool you have to play this game

    Why Every Financial Advisor Needs to Be a Member of a Mastermind Group

    Why Every Financial Advisor Needs to Be a Member of a Mastermind Group

    Hello and welcome to this episode of The Magellan Network Show. I'm spending the week here at Winter Parke, Florida, where I'm hosting two masterminds - the Empire Group and the Elite Group. Today, I'd like to focus on the importance of a mastermind group and why joining one is a must for all advisors who are truly committed to maximizing their potential.

    My goal in this conversation is to discuss the two types of masterminds advisors must be a part of and provide a framework for creating your own or finding one that suits you.

    I discussed the following:

    (03:37) The importance of having a mastermind group
    (04:26) Why associating with like-minded people is critical for your success
    (05:39) What is an industry-specific mastermind?
    (08:50) Who must you look for when building your local mastermind group?
    (11:54) What happens when you join the right group?
