Evolution from Financial Advisor to CEO
The evolution from Financial Advisor to CEO is about entrepreneurship and the ability to run a strong business and be a great business owner. As a leader of a firm you are tasked with a multitude of responsibilities each day to manage the entire infrastructure of the organization. As a business grows and people are hired into the company, the communication, processes, and systems can increase in complexity. Building a strong foundation will help you to clarify and simplify to achieve goals and provide a pathway to overcome obstacles and recognize valuable opportunities.
An organizational structure is the foundation from which a firm grows upon and is an essential element to a business. At points along the journey a business owner must ask themselves, is our current structure the right one and will this get us to the next level?
Building a structure will help you define where your most valuable time should be spent and how to create a team around you to support that. Many entrepreneurs tend to be strong Visionary’s which make them great leaders, have lots of ideas on how to grow the business, ability to inspire, and be great with relationships. On the other hand, due to their drive and passion they can many times have the foot on the gas petal all the time and want to implement every idea immediately. Trying to do it all at once and lack of focus can hold you back which is why it is essential to recognize your strengths then build a team around you to support that.

Evaluate where you are allocating your time. Then elevate to focus on the top priorities where your most valuable time should be spent and delegate the rest to another person to perform those duties or identify a resource that can do it better, in less time, or for less money.
Create a strong firm structure and clearly define each role for everyone in the firm, including the business owner.
