More About This Episode:
On today’s episode, we are excited to welcome Russ Thornton, the owner of Wealthcare for Women. Through his own family experience, he saw the need for advisors focused on serving the unique financial issues women may face. He now works with women and their families to help them make the most out of their money and their retirement.
Balance has evolved for Russ over the years. To him, it’s about taking care of his clients and prioritizing time with his own family. Recognizing the importance of his own health and community has aided him in his journey.
Advisors are great at giving advice, but they often struggle to internalize advice for themselves. However, as you get to a more selective niche, you should grow your ability to set boundaries. You may be reaching your goals but how often do you sit back and celebrate your accomplishments?
