    How?

    I explain how this happens in today’s episode.

  • I’ve talked to and coached thousands of financial advisors. And more often than not, they are the only thing standing between themselves and their goals.

    Why?

    Well, it’s because they suffer from an addiction that they aren't even aware of! This addiction holds them back, keeps them on the journey of their goals but never accomplishing them, and if you don’t do something about it soon, it will devour your freedom—both financial and personal.

    But you know what?

    Like with any addiction, awareness is the first step. And after listening to today’s show, you won’t be able to use that excuse anymore.

    Ready to learn the cold, hard truth about why you’re not accomplishing your goals?

    In this episode, I reveal each of these 7 mistakes—and give you a solution for each and every one of them.
