The mood always changes when I talk to financial planners about what they would do if they ran their own business, it becomes a creative, inspiring, and exciting conversation and I love being part of the process.

It has never been a better time to start your own business within financial planning!

The advice gap, advancements in technology, outsourced solutions, and with the power of social and digital marketing helping you scale and stand out and rapidly establish yourself as an expert within your niche.

It is exactly what this week’s guest Gregg Moss has done, in this episode we talk about all things startup, and I loved it!

Greg decided to set up his business eleven.2 after 20 years of employment and he shares his experience so far and why he wished he did it sooner.

We discuss:

· Greggs experience around restricted covenants, some great advice to employed financial planners.

· Why financial planning is perfect for start-ups.

· Why you should not dismiss the “DIY brigade” and why he’s started advising the ‘FIRE’ community.

· The culture of his business and why coaching clients is part of the growth strategy.

· Mentoring the next generation of entrepreneurial planners.
