Roleplay Mastery
Friday Jul 12, 2024
Friday Jul 12, 2024
Bruce Lee is supposed to have said, "I do not fear the man who knows a thousand punches. I fear the man who has practiced one punch a thousand times..."
When it comes to mastering the engagement of new clients, practice absolutely makes perfect.
However, you may not be surprised how few take time to hone their skills in a "friendly-fire" environment.
In this training, I will show you how to structure your roleplay to make it easier for you to develop the skills needed to improve your new client outcomes.
If you have shied away from role-playing in the past or never really known how to approach it in a structured manner, this training will give you the advantage that will lead you to mastery sooner.

Musk Method
Friday Jul 05, 2024
Friday Jul 05, 2024
If there's one thing we can all agree on; it's that Elon Musk has made quite an impact on the world.
Poking under the bonnet of his success, you find some traits that can be attributed to at least some of his success.
Personally, I'm not quite sure I'd want to be him but I'm pretty sure I'd like to borrow at least some of his ability to get it done.
In this training, we're gonna dive into some of the key productivity principles that underline his incredible work ethic.
Whilst your goal might not be to run 4 companies at the same time or send someone to Mars, there's plenty that can be applied to your own working style to make it easier to get more done in less time.

Building A More Efficient Practice with David & Leasa McLean
Thursday Jun 27, 2024
Thursday Jun 27, 2024
Efficiency is a key focus for most practices at the moment, particularly those driven to work with their target market at a price point that works for everyone.
In this Masterclass, I'm delighted to speak with David & Leasa McLean of Titan Financial Planning. Based in the NSW Central Coast, this was one of a number of goals we started working towards in 2022, with the goal to be able to create efficiencies in the back office that would reduce cost and capacity pressure, whilst enabling them to grow revenue and work with more clients.
Along the way, David & Leasa has undertaken acquisition, wrestled with changes in licensing arrangements and implemented new pricing and service models, which makes what they have achieved all the more satisfying.
This Masterclass will be great for anyone keen to get in under the DNA of a growing firm working with "strivers" and unpack what it takes to achieve sustainable growth.

Masterclass with Ilana Wechsler
Thursday May 09, 2024
Thursday May 09, 2024
Generating leads from paid digital advertising has become more of an opportunity than ever before for advice firms, and in this Masterclass we're going to dive into the topic and really explore how to make it work.
When it comes to Google Ads, Facebook advertising, SEO, YouTube and more, making this work for your practice hasn't always been easy, which is why I wanted to introduce you to Ilana.
Ilana is the founder of Green Arrow Digital and the creator of the Teach Traffic training program. She's been generating ROI for her agency clients for over a decade and, most importantly, she's someone who knows how to do it for advice firms. (Trust me when I say this is not a common thing).
Part of the reason for this, beyond being a Data Analyst, is that she spent ten years working in the financial services industry. That means unlike most who do what she does, she actually understands both sides of the equation.
Join me for what will be a masterclass and a great way to start the year.

Metrics That Matter
Thursday May 02, 2024
Thursday May 02, 2024
What gets measured… …gets managed
What will you get from successfully implementing? In this training, you'll learn how to:
Develop a Clear Framework: Understand and implement a framework that outlines the 8 core functions or departments of a business, clarifying the purpose of their activities. This aids in organisational clarity and effectiveness.
Identify Core Systems: Pinpoint 10-18 essential systems (groups of processes) crucial for the future success of the business. These systems will need to be systematised and have clear ownership.
Define Measurable Outcomes: Establish specific, measurable outcomes for each core system to serve as key metrics for management information.
Foster Team Ownership: Learn strategies to engage and empower your team to take ownership of processes and systems, crucial for scaling and leadership development.
Understand Systemisation: Grasp the importance of systemisation in the growth and scaling of a business, moving from being heavily reliant on the principal to a more distributed leadership model.
This is without doubt one of the most important modules in the program for firms seeking to break through the journey to scale from systemisation to team, to lead and beyond. It’s a truly transformation process.

Procrastination Buster
Thursday Apr 25, 2024
Thursday Apr 25, 2024
When it comes to achieving great financial outcomes, getting started sooner is a major contributor to long-term success.
That's why procrastination can be such a dangerous thing when onboarding a new client.
Each delay in getting back information, providing paperwork or any of those other small tasks that need to happen to put a plan into action increases the likelihood of advice not being implemented in a timely manner.
However, procrastination isn't a simple thing. The root causes are often complex and personal.
In this training, I'll share a model for diagnosing the causes of procrastination and importantly help you to identify the best course of action for each specific and often unique situation.

MOAS Masterclass with Taylor Bindon
Thursday Apr 18, 2024
Thursday Apr 18, 2024
One of my goals for 2024 is to be able to bring to your attention only the very best fintech and practice tech.
In other words, the tools that can help.
In late 2022 I sat down with the development team at Atlis Technologies to talk about their all-in-one practice CRM, MOAS.
Fifteen months later, they have evolved MOAS to such a degree it's time to talk again. Their development pathway is also an outlier.
Where most financial planning software tends to launch lean and with only the most basic functionality, they have already spent over four years launching and evolving this in the Wealthmed business, overcoming the many hurdles that I know those of you with larger, multi-disciplinary businesses will empathise with.
What they've developed is a tool that can generate & template advice, track workflow, provide a single source of client data, calculate fees and provide an insightful dashboard of business operations across lead generation, new client engagement, review delivery, revenue trends and compliance.
Meanwhile, the team's devotion to UX (user experience) means it is intuitive to use and looks simple.
If you'd like to know more about it, you can do so [here] & [here]
If you'd like to take a good, long look inside how it's been created, how it works and...
why the team can claim it halves the time to deliver advice.

Elite Footprints
Thursday Apr 11, 2024
Thursday Apr 11, 2024
The concept of "elite" performers doesn't always sit well with all of us, but in truth, there are those who demonstrate levels consistent levels of performance beyond that of most.
That performance can also be at least partly traced back to the certain habits and behaviours those performers embrace more as well.
In this training I seek to put aside any preconceptions I have about the idea of "elite", and instead seek to understand what footprints success leaves behind that can be imitated to achieve better outcomes for all.
If you're looking for an edge to help you achieve a higher level of success, let's dive into the most common traits that separate high performers from the rest.
