A Moment to Reflect on Your Business (and Your Future)

November 12, 2025 / Andrea Bullard /

I’ve been thinking a lot about the advisors I’ve been working with recently — their breakthroughs, their obstacles, and the very real desire to build a business that not only grows… but feels good to run.

And I wanted to write you today with a question:

How are you doing — really — in your business right now?

Not the “I’m good, busy!” answer.

The real one.

As we move into the next few months, I’ve been reminded of something powerful:

Your business grows at the pace of building your 4 Pillars:

Clarity in your VISION
Strength of your “A” STAFF
Implementation of SYSTEMS
Growth of your LEADERSHIP and leaders within your staff

And when your confidence in your value rises, your referrals rise.

When your SYSTEMS get created and implemented, and embraced, your stress decreases.

When your leadership and staff leadership grows, the whole business shifts to a new level of ease.

Over the past few weeks, I finished leading my Referral Mastery Lab — and it was inspiring. I watched advisors reclaim their voice, lean into their value, and understand how to attract clients in ways that feels natural, respectful, and deeply human

And it reminded me:

Every advisor deserves to have clients coming in because others are talking about the difference they make.

Not because they’re chasing.

Not because they’re grinding.

But because their work speaks for them.

So, wherever you are right now — whether business feels strong or stretched — I want to encourage you to take one loving step:

Reconnect to the vision of the practice you truly want.

The one where:

You’re surrounded by the right clients
You have a team that supports your growth
You’re not exhausted from doing everything yourself
Referrals come in consistently and comfortably
And the business grows while your life expands, too

That version of your business is not far away — but it does require intention.

I’ll be sharing more soon about some opportunities ahead — including the next Referral Mastery Lab and The Rainmaker’s Playbook, new pathways for advisors who are ready to build a protected, scalable, peaceful business model.

But for today… I’d simply love to hear from you.

Hit reply and tell me:

What’s one area of your business you’d love to strengthen this year?

No judgment. No pressure. Just a real conversation.

I’m here for you…

Your coach,
