In this episode, Gary discusses how regulatory bodies have a direct impact on how you are actually required to run your business and account for that company structure to the relevant authorities. What a lot of financial professionals rely on is the fact that networks will generate additional business, but in a lot of instances those entities simply fulfil the compliance aspect required by the authorities. This is not going to generate leads, increase sales and maximise profit.
Whether you are a DA (Directly Authorised) or an RI (Registered Individual) you need to be aware of the implications of these registrations. For example, a lot of people might like the concept of being DA but the rules, regulations and red tape is significant, and personal liability is a very real consideration for Principles.

In this episode Gary discusses How To Make £1m A Year (As An Adviser).
This episode is in reference to a Linked In post from Gary which can be read here
You have to let go to grow your business. Hiring people to the jobs they’re best suited to will make your business grow. Letting go of small everyday tasks will free up time for you to work toward large-scale goals.
A few weeks ago Gary spoke about how to generate leads; once you have those leads you need to know how to sell to these people and convert them into clients.
The reason most advisers never get £1 million in turnover, is they can’t say no to deals that don’t fit their ideal client criteria. To achieve £1m you need a targeted niche, otherwise you will waste time and have a lower ROI.
What Is Covered In Today’s Episode Of The PRO Podcast:
- What you need to do to grow your business

In this episode Gary discusses why he took a week away from social media, his phone, laptop and all communication.
Gary didn’t use his phone for an entire week whilst on holiday and over that time he completely changed his relationship with his phone and work.
Gary realised social media is a complete waste of time. The time you spend on social media must be set with a clear intention such as direct response marketing, interacting with people who are interacting with your content or scheduling content.
Another thing Gary noticed was that his time on his phone was taking away from the quality of the relationships with his family. Being on your phone will make people feel they cannot talk to you because they will feel like they are bothering you.
This time away from his phone and other devices has made a lasting change in Gary’s life. When he is on holiday he will not be using his phone, and in his day to day life he will have stricter rules around his phone so that he will be more present with his family.
What Is Covered In Today’s Episode Of The PRO Podcast:
- What led Gary to take a week away from all his devices

In this episode Gary discusses the biggest mistakes he made when going from start up to 6 figures.
Gary noticed that most people work really hard at the start but once they are busy they stop putting effort into getting more leads. Take the time to plan what you are going to do so that you know what you need to do. Having a clear plan for your business is going to guarantee you make better decisions as you know where you are trying to get to.
Gary highlights the importance of hiring people and urges you to do so as soon as possible. If you delay hiring someone you might be more stressed than necessary and experience burnout. Be sure to document your processes and automate your system so that you can bring people in to manage systems while you focus on growing the business.
Once you’ve hired someone to work in your business it is your job to constantly review your company's vision. Think big picture, monitor the key performance indicators and build your business like a machine to 6 figures and beyond.

In this episode, Gary discusses how he has scaled his brokerage from 6 to 7 figures so you can do it to.
As you will hear in this episode, you have to work on the business not in the business if you genuinely want to grow. Of course, this might sound like generic info and advice that you hear every day, but it is SO true. Getting out of the day-to-day tasks is the only way to create the time needed to grow - if you are busy doing low-income generating activities you will not be able to grow the business. It is that simple.
You need to put in place systems and processes so that you can hire people to work in your business and you can focus on sales. You as the leader build the system and process, the yo bring in great people work that system for you.
As you will hear Gary mention, you can’t view hiring as a loss of money - focus on it more as an investment in getting your time back to grow the business. The only way to grow your business is to have effective marketing. If people haven’t heard of your business and its services, how do you expect to sell to them?

In this episode, Gary discusses the things advisers must focus on, right NOW. Often, as business owners, we get stuck in firefighting mode but that doesn't allow us the time and energy to put into the growth of our businesses which is why you need to understand the priority areas that require your attention.
Gary is focusing on less to be able to win and get results no matter what is going on. He went from running a 7-figure insurance brokerage - which he hated - to currently running 3 businesses centred around one demographic and this shift in business has given him more energy for freedom and more time.
Remember you started a business to build a lifestyle. If your business isn’t allowing you to live the life you imagined then you don’t have a successful business!

In this episode, Gary talks to Jamie Alderton. They talk about finding what you enjoy - and finding what you don't- and then tweaking and changing your life and business direction based on that.
Jamie shares his learning curve and what enabled him to get initial success with running a business, even though he - in his own words - did not know what he was doing back in 2012. As he sees it, his entrance fee was the seven years of being disciplined in the military and the mindset of continual learning and constant improvement that period instilled.
This is a brilliantly open episode as Jamie (or some of you might remember him as Grenade Jay if you have followed his journey for that long!) shares that he is enjoying what it is that he’s doing at the moment and finding that business / work / life fulfillment has been a process in its own right.
He also shares that making marginal gains every single week, month, and year is something that has a life-altering impact over a sustained period of time. This show is also a good dose of motivation too as Jamie shares the importance of focusing on where you are right now and working out how to do the best you can with what you have in this moment.
What Is Covered In Today’s Episode Of The PRO Podcast:
- Jamie’s amazing journey from military career to gobally recognised athlete

In this episode, Gary talks about following your intuition and trusting your gut. It is the guiding light to tell you the direction that you should be going because when something doesn't feel right inside, more often than not, it turns out wrong. Gary has a rule that he uses when he has to make big decisions, when he needs to take something to the next level, or when he’s facing a quandary on whether he should follow a certain path. He also shares that often in life and in business, you come to a crossroads where decisions matter and one could potentially lead to more success, more results, and more income, while the other could potentially lead you down a path that isn't quite congruent with you. You have to be able to make big decisions and understand that your intuition plays a huge part in your results.
What Is Covered In Today’s Episode Of The PRO Podcast:
- Gary talks about following your intuition and trusting your gut when making decisions. He refers to intuition and instinct as the guiding light to tell you the direction you should be going along.
- Knowing when, and under what circumstances to apply logic and think strategically rather than trusting your intuition, is just as important as learning to view your gut instinct as a viable decision-making strategy.
- You’re always going to have positive and negative thoughts when running a business. It’s vital that you take control and make a conclusive decision factoring in your gut feeling, logic and anything else your resolution may affect.
- He talks about getting back into the flow of posting on social media and being active on different platforms. Social media marketing is supposed to grab your audience’s attention enough to take them out of the social media and onto your database.
- Building your brand and knowing your ideal customer to be able to serve them with a huge amount of value. While building a brand and figuring out your type of content, ensure that it’s content you’ll be able to be consistent with.
Key Takeaways:
- An important part of being consistent with content is making sure it aligns with your natural flow. Finding your natural flow that works for you comes through trial and error.
- If you have concerns and need further help in decision making, Gary can coach you to get to the next level.

Gary talks about processes you can apply and how to leverage different parts of your business - such as marketing, sales, finances and admin - in order for it to grow.

In this episode Gary talks about how social media can hurt your personal brand. Social media has arguably become the most powerful media platform, however, social content has also led to the downfall of several businesses that misused the marketing platform, and destroyed their reputation or wasted a ton of money. Not every brand needs to be funny or clever. Over on social media your brand should be welcoming, entertaining and show that you're not all business. But keep your ideal clients in mind. If you're providing them with a serious and vital tool for running their mortgage business, you shouldn't necessarily be sharing dancing videos on your social channels.

Who to Recruit First – Sales or Administrator? Growing a business is hard, and sometimes you do it more than once! So, if you are starting from scratch who do you employ first? Since I started my business in 2006, I've almost had to start again three or four times. I went self-employed in 2006. I started again doing life insurance, critical illness and income protection when the credit crunch hit in 2009. I started again when I bought my business partner out in 2011. I started again in 2016 when I transferred or moved back from life insurance to get back into the mortgage market. So, I've certainly had a rollercoaster starting off my business journey, but what it's enabled me to do is given me perspective on different ways to start. Because when I initially started, I started with an advisor. The last couple of times have been with an administrator, but then the beginning of this year, in 2018, I've started with three advisors and no administrator.
Who do you employ first? * Mortgage Adviser * Trainee Mortgage Adviser * Mortgage Administrator / PA * Apprentice
It all depends on where your business is at. The fundamental thing that you're going to need to assess, whether you're looking at taking on an advisor or an administrator, is what are your key values and your key strengths. What are the things that you really, really love to do on a day-to-day basis? Because that all forms as part of how you look to grow your business, because if you're not waking up every single morning with massive amounts of passion and really, really wanting to hit each day running because there are certain elements of the job that you don't enjoy doing, then you need to leverage those out. You need to delegate those to somebody else. That can often dictate the way in which you want to recruit.
If you are looking to recruit, then you need to write out your process and a list of tasks you want your recruit to complete for you to free up your time to focus on the valuable tasks. This is the ideal starting point for mortgage recruitment.

6 Key Traits of the Most Successful Business Owners Learn how to take your brokerage or business to the next level with these 6 key traits to success! 1 – Clear Vision
| You need to have a clear vision. Now, what do I mean by vision? I mean an idea in terms of where you are going. What does your business look like in the next 12 months, in the next three years? Or even just pie in the sky, the next 10 years? But not just a vision for your business, a vision for your life. Where do you want to be? What do you want to be doing? Having that clear vision is a bit like a sat nav. | | 2 – Build Relationships | | Being able to build rapport and be able to build massive relationships with your clients. You need to be a relationship builder. And then you can actually start communicating better. When you understand how communication works, you can then start to build more confidence in yourself, which is going to enable you to build better rapport. And that rapport can be with your audience online, it can be in a networking room. Having a good handshake, looking at people in the eyes, having good body language. 3 – Know your Products | | Knowing your products and knowing your processes. Now, when I talk about knowing your products, we have got mortgage products, and we have got insurance products. And if you're particularly starting out, trying to learn both is extremely difficult. I've got two advisors who started out with CeMAP qualifications and no previous industry experience, and I trained them along the journey. And I know from training them that they wanted to focus on Insurance makes up a huge part of the sale. It doubles the value of a client, right, an application. But trying to focus on both made it hard to focus on to get the knowledge on one of those. 4 – Be a Managing Director | | Be a managing director, not an advisor. Now, if you're a start-up, you are all things within the business. You're marketing, you're lead generation, you're advisor, you're an administrator and doing the post sale completion. You're everything. And what you need to start thinking about within your vision is, what does your business look like? What does your life look like? Because then that is going to enable you to focus on becoming a managing director. You need to learn to delegate, and you need to learn to pass on the tasks that are lower value and that aren't going to be income-generating. Tip 5 – Become a Leader | | Are you educating yourself on being a better leader? It's not just a leader to your team. A leader, first, is somebody who doesn't just crack the whip as a manager does. A managing director should not just crack the whip and tell everybody what they need to do, but they need to lead. But even a managing director needs a leader. A leader is somebody who is positive, passionate, has huge amounts of self-awareness, is honest, and can go above and beyond for his team, his clients. He'll put himself in the firing line first, and he'll be able to lead the team into battle, and ultimately to make sure that the vision is being acted upon and that you're getting closer to that vision. | | Tip 6 – Be Adaptable | | Be adaptable, and about be agile, and accept change. Don't just be stuck with your blinkers on. You always need to have that peripheral vision because there could be market changes, there could be industry changes, there could be things coming up constantly that are going to impact on you. And therefore, I'm so passionate about social media, because it really enables you to build that better relationship with your client. That you're not as reliant on the estate agents and good weather stopping people buying houses. Holidays stopping people buying houses. Things going on in the world and in the industry stopping people buying houses. If you've done the hard work up front and you've invested time into social media, that is going to take those things out of your worry because they're coming to you because it's you and they're ready.

12 Lessons from 12 years in Business! 8th of November 2018 was my 12-year anniversary of being self-employed, a business owner, sole trader, entrepreneur, in the mortgage industry. Here I share the top tips I have learnt from being self-employed for over 12 years in the mortgage industry.
The 12 lessons from 12 years in mortgages and financial services:
- Mindset is the number 1 element to your success.
- Work hard but work smart and learn to delegate.
- Listening to audiobooks and podcasts.
- You need to surround yourself with like-minded people. You need a good peer group.
- Do not fear failure, and I know that is massively hard to believe, but if you fear failure, it's going to stop you being able to move forward.
- Learn to pivot. Don't change lanes.
- I have developed a three-strike rule or a three-idea rule, and it immediately makes me act.
- Keep an eye on your profit and loss and focus on the tasks that are going to help make you money.
- Use social media to build a personal brand and stick a rocket up your marketing. Marketing is an investment. It's not an expense.
- Make a 1% improvement every single day in your mindset, in the jobs you get done, in your focus, in your marketing, in your branding and so on is 365% a year.
- Take stock of how far you've come in your journey.
- Always remain grateful.
These lessons are valued no matter where you are in your mortgage journey.

KPIs - The Most Important Numbers to Monitor in your business Sunday is my usual day of the week where I'm starting to review my mortgage figures and what we've done as a team, what I've done individually, what each one of my individual advisors has done on a weekly basis. And, I actually thought it'd be useful for you to understand the metrics that I'm following ultimately for the sales, for the number of clients that we're dealing with, for the leads, and how that's going to impact on the overall year. And, equally, how I'm tracking this on a weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual basis. So, hopefully whether you're starting out, whether you've got a relatively small team, or whether you're running a large mortgage brokerage, this is going to be useful for you in order to be able to track your year, make more money, have better success, deal with clients better, and ultimately build longer-term relationships that are going to in turn build your mortgage brokerage.
Key takeaways * Profit first, because you can start to allocate, how much do you want as salary? How much do you want as a bonus at the end of the quarter? Where will you be at the end of the year? And then, you can start to address your marketing, your sales, your expenditure, and actually start to build your business from the ground up. Everything relies on strong foundations. * Where are your leads coming from? For example, are the majority coming from introduces, are they coming from estate agents, for example? Are you getting them via accountants? How many referrals are you getting? You need to break down the number of leads that you're getting in every single one of those sources. * How many of those leads are converting to fact finds? * How many fact-finds off of the back of that, how many of those fact finds are actually turning into an agreement in principle. * You need to start making this marketing machine that runs and enables you to grow and scale if that's the route that you ultimately want to go * Will referrals. * Survey referrals. * Broker fees
This podcast is about helping you to build a better business, a business around your lifestyle, a business of your dreams. Whether that is as a one-person band whether it's a small team of you yourself, and an administrator, and another advisor. Or, whether you want to go for performance and have 50 advisors and 125 staff doing hundreds of applications a month. It's all about bringing you the education, inspiration, and motivation.
Thank you very much for listening. Please give me feedback on the further episodes, and I look forward to chatting with you again in the not too distant future.
