Most advisors would never say that they’re bored; instead, the most common reason they claim they’re unable to change or improve is that they’re too busy. In today’s episode, Matt and Micah talk through why you’re not too busy; you’re just playing office. Listen in as they discuss areas where advisors get into trouble by choosing to do the easy things instead of the hard things and how taking the easy way won’t help you get closer to the success you want.
