In this episode of PROpulsion LIVE, we talk about one of the hardest — and most human — challenges in financial planning: earning the trust of a client who’s had a bad experience with a previous adviser.

From scepticism and defensiveness to outright frustration, you’ll often sit across from people carrying baggage you didn’t pack. But how you respond can turn resentment into respect — and build a powerful new relationship.

Join us as we explore why clients become resentful, how to recognise it, and what you can do to show them they’re in better hands now.

Running a financial planning practice involves a lot more than client meetings and advice.
Behind every success story is a mountain of invisible work — compliance headaches, team issues, tech frustration, and never-ending admin.

In this week’s episode of PROpulsion LIVE, we pull back the curtain and talk honestly about what practice owners don’t often say out loud.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re carrying too much behind the scenes — you’re not alone.

If you run a business in this profession, this conversation is for you.

In this episode of PROpulsion LIVE, we explore a powerful yet often overlooked topic: how comparison shows up in the world of financial planning – and the impact it has on confidence, focus, and fulfilment.

From industry awards to social media highlights, the pressure to measure success by someone else's yardstick is everywhere. But comparison can be both inspiring and destructive. The key lies in how we navigate it.

If you’ve ever looked at another adviser’s journey and wondered, “Am I doing enough?” — this one’s for you.

Let us know in the comments — what has comparison taught you? And how do you manage it in your business?

In this episode of PROpulsion LIVE, we speak to *Louis Schlebusch, Director of BRISCH Administration Services*, about the often-overlooked engine behind successful advisory practices — your back office.

Let us know in the comments: what’s one thing you’ve changed in your back office that made a big impact?
