Your Guide:

Imagine you have a trusted advisor helping you make important financial and business decisions. Suddenly, that adviser wants to take on more clients and asks you to recommend them to others. You want to help them but worry you won’t get as much one-on-one attention as their business expands.

On this episode of Your Retirement Elevated Podcast, Scott Dougan talks about going through that experience with his adviser and how it caused him to have an epiphany about his own business.

“I was selfish … My first concern was, ‘Are you still going to be available to me?” Scott remembers asking his adviser. “I said, ‘This must be how our clients feel when we talk about us growing our practice.’”

Scott says the experience has changed how he handles client relationships while building his business. Hear his full story in the podcast or use the timestamps below to learn more.
