From fee-only planning to tax planning, Scott Haley has found an interesting and successful business model for his firm. He joins us on the show to talk about how he got started in financial planning and what it was like getting a rough start initially and then finally finding the right fit in the industry. Scott shares his career ups and downs along with great advice on how to learn from others in the industry.
He gets into the issue of selling products vs. financial planning and how he wanted to focus more on learning about the business and how to actually help clients without the need to sell products. Scott talks about his payment model that is a mix of AUM and retainer and how that has been working for him. He also gives some insight on how he balanced starting a business at the same time as his wife starting hers and having a new born baby. This roller coaster of a story has some great inspiration and ideas for those who may want to branch out on their own as well.
