After 30 years as a financial advisor and building a $100,000,000 book of business, Bruce Weinstein sold his financial services practice in 2016. With no former clients and only the relationships he had built, he and his wife started a new insurance business in 2020. In this episode of Stay Paid, Bruce shares the marketing and other activities he reactivated from his first business to successfully start up and run the business they own today.
