Independence for Financial Advisors

How to Determine if You’ve Got the “Right Stuff” for Independence

Posted by Mindy Diamond

Independence is not for every advisor. Here’s how to strategically determine if it’s the right path for you.

After exploring the origins of independence in the first episode of this series on independence for financial advisors, Mindy Diamond walks advisors through a process to help determine if the model is right for you. She shares a story of 2 advisors who, after asking themselves a series of questions, identified that independence was not right for them.

Mindy offers the following:

  • The key characteristics of someone who should not go independent.
  • The story of “Bill and Sam”—advisors who “thought” they wanted to go independent.
  • A self-assessment to clarify your goals before you start exploring.

    WHAT OUR LISTENERS ARE SAYING…

    • I would say one of the best things I ever did was listen to your podcast. I listened to it a thousand times. There are so many aspects to explore. You’re driving blind until you actually engage a professional.

      Michael Henley
      Founder & CEO, Brandywine Oak Private Wealth
    • Fantastic Podcast and a must-listen for anyone considering Independence!

      Robert Walter
      President, Sanctuary Wealth
    • This is outstanding. Every team considering independence should listen.

      Chris Cooke
      Managing Partner, Cooke Financial Group
    • Every advisor at a brokerage firm should listen to this podcast. I’m convinced that most advisors don’t realize their real value. Do your research. You deserve your true value and going out on your terms. It’s your life’s work. Even if you don’t transition to independence, know your value and options in order to make an educated decision.

      Senior Wealth Advisor, Avidian Wealth Solutions
