SPEAKING TOPICS

Since 2020, everything has been changing everywhere all at once, contributing to psychological debt without understanding a Regressive vs. Regenerative Mindset and a Fixed vs. Growth Mindset. Change is situational. Transition is psychological. Psychological debt will disrupt your business if the psychological debt is not understood and dissolved.

Covid, Wars, Supply Chains, Inflation, Markets, Interest Rates, Banking Crisis, Recession, What’s Next?

Are you, your prospects, and your clients distracted by wondering what is next?

Are you up to date on financial advisory and emerging trends? Are you ready for the future? Do you understand the difference between change and transition? How do you, as a Financial Advisor, view the future of your retirement?

Careers change or end. Relationships change or end. Role(s) in life continually change. Some changes hit us out of the blue; some have been brewing for decades. 

Concerning Financial Advisors and their retirement, a Recent Survey indicates 65% of Financial Advisors will cycle in and out of numerous Retirement-Transitions into their 70s and 80s. 

“Change is something that happens to people, even if they don’t agree with it. Transition, on the other hand, is internal: it’s what happens in people’s minds as they go through change. Change can happen very quickly, while transition usually occurs more slowly.” ~William Bridges

Do you understand the differences between these Mindsets? Regressive, Fixed, Growth, Regenerative? 

“Someone with a growth mindset views intelligence, abilities, and talents as learnable and capable of improvement through effort. On the other hand, someone with a fixed mindset views those same traits as inherently stable and unchangeable over time.” – Harvard Business Review 

A Regressive Mindset includes flux, depression, frustration, grief, accelerating age, and a regressive mindset compounds frailty, feeling useless, and feeling like a burden. These compound fears override the impulse to grow.

A Regenerative Mindset provides excitement, curiosity, growth, improvement, and embracing the future.

You are a successful Leader & Manager passionate about mentoring, developing, growing and inspiring successful advisors to create a career of significance and become the best, passionate version of themselves.

  • Inspiration must be Managed to get out of your head and be in the moment, to be grateful and compassionate, a spectator of your own thoughts, and to be of service to others
  • Compassion and mindfulness are not a choice; they are a requirement for success, from which all Leadership and Management should be taking place

Simon Reilly Speaking Topics – Breakthrough! – How to Breakthrough The Plateauing Out Syndrome

  • Have you managed to maintain the same levels of production through recent events?
  • Are you struggling to figure out how to “grow” your business in real terms?
  • “The Plateauing Out Syndrome” was coined by the members of The Million Dollar Round Table. With the advent of “The New Normal” contributing to clients taking longer and longer to make decisions, Breaking Through “The Plateau” seems more daunting than ever.

For some, the pace of business isn’t what it used to be contributing to thoughts like, “is this all there is?”, and “what am I doing this for?”, and “what is the use?”

“When there is understanding, there is no judgment. When there is judgment, there can be no understanding or inspiration”.

Join Simon Reilly to understand How To Breakthrough “The Plateauing Out Syndrome”.

Are you bumping into the same office issues time and again? Are you a control freak? Stop being a control freak within your own business.  Control freaks will make a living, but they will not make any money.

We will introduce you to a scientific approach to creating sustainable change. Through a battery of assessments we focus on the issues that are stopping you from gaining the results that you are looking for. You will be motivated out of your comfort zone and move in a direction you really want to go. You will understand what is stopping you from moving forward. You will get re-inspired about your business, and you will attract more clients and business.

You will also learn how to create a team of people who can create a business for you.  You cannot grow your business yourself.  Select your people based on their skill set and the appropriate Values & Behaviors for the position. Hire a support team to do exactly that, support you and your business, and let them.

Management is about systems; leadership is about people. Learn how to recruit, train, and inspire your dream team.

It’s all about Questions, the Questions we ask Ourselves and the Questions we ask our Clients
In a time-based economy you can never demonstrate enough value to justify your fee. In a results-based economy you can never do enough to justify your commission.

Things have changed from a results-based economy to an experience-based economy.

Clients want the experience; they want an advisor who shows up on time, who they can trust, who treats them like family, who finishes what they start and who fulfills their commitment.

You’ve got to make a difference in the way people think and feel about themselves. That’s the real reason clients buy from you and stay committed.

It’s not about an extra quarter percent. It’s about how you make clients feel.

Secure, safe, confident and committed clients will stay as clients.

Customers move on, they care less about how they feel and more about getting the cheapest price.
Customers can get it for a quarter percent less anywhere and they are just customers.

From the very first visit to your website, through telephone, front desk, consultation, delivery and after sales, the client experience can create a brand ambassador or a brand disaster. A happy client becomes an unpaid ambassador of your sales force.

In order for commitment to happen;

  • An advisor has to make a difference in the way they think and feel about themselves
  • An Advisor has to make a difference in the way clients think and feel about themselves

It’s 90% about WHY and 10% about HOW and What to do.

Join Simon Reilly in this value-packed presentation, The Psychology of the Client Interview that includes the moments of truth that will both re-create your commitment to your business and create committed clients for life.

When there is no understanding, there is judgment. When there is judgment, there can be no understanding or inspiration.

Are Your Advisors Ready To Understand & Clear Practice Management Issues Like These?

The Clear Your Roadblocks™ Corporate Workshop & 60 Day Follow-up Coaching Program will teach your Advisors immediate and usable business planning skills to understand the missing link to business planning, asking for referrals and delegation which are the stepping stones to the next level of success in their business.

This is about learning how to regain inspiration.

Inspiration is based on values like communication, listening and wisdom.

Values are the core of all positive beliefs and feelings.

Inspiration is sustainable because it is driven from within.

Motivation is based on unmet needs like recognition, safety and worthiness.

Unmet needs are the core of all negative beliefs and emotions.

Motivation is not sustainable because it is driven from the outside trying to medicate the unmet need with people, places and things.

What Are The Practice Management Issues That Many Advisors Are Facing?

No business plan, no goals, in overwhelm and not asking for referrals just to name a few.

Business Plan and Goals – The unmet need of safety generates the negative beliefs of “I don’t have enough time” and “I don’t have enough money” which fuel the negative emotions of anxiety and fear … hence, the advisor is addicted to survival. It is impossible to build a strong set of values, vision, business plan and goals with this happening. A learned advisor said “most financial advisors are addicted to selling and they will not take the time to build a vision, business plan and goals.”

In Overwhelm – The unmet need of control generates the negative beliefs of “I am out of control” and “no one can do it as good as me” which contributes to the negative emotion of fear. The Law Of Attraction is absolute and with the unmet need of control fueling the negative beliefs and negative emotions, the financial advisor unwittingly will not delegate and if they do, no one will ever be able to do the job as good as them. The unmet needs become their jailor.

Asking For Referrals – Ninety percent of advisors agree that asking for referrals is the number one way to build their business and only fifteen percent actually ask for referrals on a consistent basis. The challenge is the unmet need of approval which generates negative beliefs like “what if they say no” which fuel negative emotions like uncertainty and worry.

“Values are like turtles, they only come out when it is safe.” Unmet needs will dominate ones values, vision, business plan, goals and ability to grow until the unmet need is met from within.

“One of the biggest things that I’ve found is I believe you treat everyone as an individual which is – anything you’ve ever shared with me, by sending me the mission vision, you are really hitting it – when you say hitting the nail on the head – you are doing that with me in every conversation we have and it gets through to me and I listen and I respect you and any of the assignments I’m doing, I’m doing because I know they are heading me in the right direction. The thing is when I met you I knew – the comfort was there.
