Most financial advisors set ambitious goals that would change their lives, only to abandon them and live in mediocrity forever. If that's you, it's not your fault. It's because your brain isn't much more sophisticated than a rat's brain.

That matters because behavioral neuroscientists discovered rats sacrifice their biological instincts for cheap dopamine hits.

And you know what?

The good news is the solution is easier than you think—but most financial advisors aren't willing to do it. But if you follow the simple advice in this episode, it will change your life and business and bank account.

Ready to finally accomplish your wildest goals and add a 0 to your bank account? Listen now.
