Struggling to get meaningful work done despite your technical expertise and people skills? You're not alone. Every financial advisor knows the frustration of ending a busy day feeling like nothing important was accomplished.
The culprit? It's not your ability – it's how you're managing your time and attention in a world designed to fragment both. In this eye-opening episode, I reveal why your morning routine holds the key to transforming your productivity and effectiveness as an advisor.
You'll discover why checking email first thing literally rewires your brain for distraction and turns your day into someone else's to-do list. I share the exact framework we use at Root Financial to ensure daily tasks connect directly to our larger purpose – from our mission and vision down to the three things I prioritize each morning.
