100K RECURRING REVENUE BRIDGE

100K IN RECURRING REVENUE.

You wake up January 1 and by December, 31st your financial planning practice has brought in 100k net before you sell a single insurance policy, annuity or one time financial plan.

This doesn't seem like a big goal. Especially for the "big dogs" with the big AUM books they have built over the last 10-20 years.

But I have talked 1:1 with hundreds of financial advisors who aren't there yet.

Many of them are making good money selling products but the vast majority of advisors in the first 2-10 years in the business aren't there yet.

I sat down with one of my mentors in the fee for advice space a few years ago and took 16 pages of notes of how he did it.

The best nugget of wisdom I pulled from him was when he said....

"Dude, Recurring revenue pays for recurring expenses."

Woah.

He was right.

I was making good money selling insurance and annuities and gathering some AUM here or there, but I wasn't at my recurring revenue number.

I needed a recurring revenue bridge.

When I talk with older advisors the answer is AUM.

When I talk with younger advisors, (myself included) the answer was.
