How to Grow Your Advisory Practice Without Doing It All
Sobre este podcast
Hi, I'm Chris Ball, and welcome to my podcast, "Don't Shoot the Messenger."
My no-nonsense approach to building wealth and scaling businesses comes from real experience, not theory. I’ve built an international financial planning company with $3.3bn assets under management. I have coached top performers and seen what works (and what doesn’t) up close.
This podcast is for the ones who are done with fluff:
• The high earners who still feel broke
• The entrepreneurs are burning out trying to chase growth
• The ambitious professionals who are starting to question the game they’re playing
• And anyone who’s beginning to realise that more isn’t always better
I’m not here to coddle. I’m here to be honest.
You might not like everything I have to say, but I’m not here to be liked.
I’m here to help you get clear, get focused, and get real results.
All I ask is: Don’t Shoot the Messenger.
This is a Financial Planner Life Production 🎬
