If you think work-life balance is hard to achieve, you’re probably right.
With that said, THIS advisor has done it. His path to success is amazing!
The strategic decisions he made early in his career have allowed him to build a practice and a life that many aspire to.
In this episode, Referral Coach Bill Cates interviews Chad Hufford, owner of Veritas Wealth Management and bestselling author of “Forging Financial Freedom,” to discover how he built a successful financial practice that prioritizes both high achievement and personal freedom through work-life balance.
Chad reveals the critical early decisions that shaped his business, the importance of having a specific target market, and his unique approach to client responsiveness.
Bill and Chad discuss:
- How Chad established work-life balance as a priority at the beginning of his career and made some hard choices to fully live out his vision.
- The importance of a well-defined target market for achieving exponential growth.
- Chad’s unique perspective on being responsive to clients without being constantly available. (You will probably envy what he’s created here.)
- The role of podcasting in Chad’s marketing strategy, and his plans for future growth.
