In today’s episode, I’m speaking with my friend Brad Johnson. Brad is the host of The Elite Advisor Blueprint® podcast and coach to elite level independent financial advisors. As the former VP of Advisor Development at Advisors Excel, Brad coached a group of independent advisors managing over $1billion of assets annually. Brad has recently chosen to leave a 10+ year career to build a company of his own. We talk about this major life change and how he knew he was ready to leave, the key philosophical difference between money and wealth, and why now is the time to take a step — no matter how big or small — toward living the life you truly want. Key Takeaways What Brad learned from some of the greatest minds in the financial industry — and how he knew it was time to move on from a company he spent over a decade with. The importance of creating freedom of time — doing what you want, when you want, with whoever you want. The true meaning of wealth and why making more money is a shortsighted goal. The investing strategy that piggybacks off the most brilliant people in the world. The reason so many people have an unbalanced approach to investing. The top three skills Brad believes helped him achieve success in business AND life. The most powerful piece of advice Brad ever received about retirement. The #1 habit to achieve success with your goals.   Want the Full Show Notes?
