Episode notes
Hire Before You Hit Capacity
- Hire earlier than you expect to avoid capacity bottlenecks and protect client service when life changes.
- Prioritize delegating, empowering, and training as your skill set shifts from technician to manager.
Early Hire At $170K Revenue
- In year two Jake hired an associate when revenue was about $160–170K and 35 clients.
- That hire came before the firm reached steady profitability to protect service and future family plans.
Decouple Planning From AUM
- Separate financial planning fees from investment management to avoid fee volatility tied to markets.
- Use an income+net-worth retainer to align fees with client complexity without AUM swings.
