Ep #113: Building a Niche Practice in Rural Minnesota - The Career of Tony Madsen

August 16, 2017

Every member of XYPN has a unique take on what we teach, and it's always fun to hear how each advisor is building a unique and valuable practice. Tony Madsen is building an RIA in rural Minnesota, after taking a leap out of the world of broker-dealers so he could have more fun with planning.

Tony wanted to build a practice that emphasizes community and charity while setting up his clients for a healthy financial life. Working within his chosen niche of medical professionals under 40, he's found a way to take his young practice from the red to the black in under three years.

In this interview, Tony shares his first-year revenue and expenses and talks openly about where he spent more money than he should. One of the most interesting things Tony explains is the cashflow management strategy he uses with clients, which allows them to donate to charity, save for the future, and pay down their debt, all while enjoying their lives.
