Who are the advisors behind this assessment …

Hello there. We are Ben Skupp ChFC & Steven Kaplan ChFC.

We are advisors in the trenches like you.

We teach advisors how to monetize their financial advice with our proven 6-step framework. (without leaving behind commission or AUM—only clients.)

We teach the methods we use in the field every day.

Before you hire a coach or buy another program, ask yourself this…

Would you rather learn from a practicing advisor or a coach who has never been in your shoes?

We formed Mindshift Financial Coaching with Jackie Bradley, the queen of practice efficiency. She kicked our butts into gear years ago.

The combination of practice design and charging for our advice changed the game mentally, emotionally, and financially for us.

Advisors began asking us “how,” so we created the 6-step proven framework for advisors to replicate our methods without having to make all the mistakes we did.

We’ll let Jackie take it from here …

Thanks, gentlemen. Jackie here …

A decade ago, my guys were struggling. They both had hair! I have proof! Check out the picture. 😄

Ben was ”hunting” large insurance clients, trading his time for hope

Hope they needed insurance

Hope they didn’t have a product aversion to insurance

Hope they were insurable, Hope their family member wasn’t in the biz

Hope they weren’t going to shop the coverage

OR any number of things that could go wrong

Essentially, he was on THE VERGE…the verge of a significant mental breakdown!

Steve was in crisis but for different reasons. He entered the business on the “investment side,” which can create the illusion of predictability, but with your income tied to the market … who is really in control?

That can be stressful, but his stress compounded for other different reasons. Investment management is a commodity with no real value. To compensate, he unknowingly over-delivered and overworked.

Without clarity on his client’s expectations, he was always anticipating the worst-case scenario …(we’ve all been there dreading the client call before answering it) …

Something had to give!

After investing in a coaching program run by a fellow Top Planner

They began to offer a financial advice option to each new client

They defined their advice offering from their transactional offering

They went back to existing clients and shared about their new offering

They experienced such relief from unclear client expectations and stopped anticipating worst-case scenarios

They became convicted in the value they brought each year and charged renewal fees each year

They were no longer working for hope or trying to guess what their clients needed from them

Predictable income allowed them to operate like business owners & make intelligent business decisions (like hiring me) so they could focus on wht they loved to do. Allowing them to go on vacation without taking work with them

They collected over $2,000,000 in planning fees and delivered over 500 plans

They stopped having to “market”

Their clients rehired them year after year so the vicious marketing cycle stopped

When they onboard a new client it is by referral only

For 2 advisors who never loved the prospecting game this was an unexpected but welcomed outcomes

Removing prospecting demands freed up 50% of their time - which they now use to coach other advisors to duplicate and sometimes exceed their success - without having to make the same mistakes they made

And the best part is it’s not an all-or-nothing business model – meaning financial planning revenue represents 20% of their overall income, with product sales making up the remaining 80%. The key → differentiating your offers!

Carey Yukich,

Financial Planner

Mindshift – THANK YOU so very much for your help with my planning case!

It felt very natural and authentic to ask for a $7,500 plan fee plus $5,000 plans for both sons! Great way to hit the ground running.

Id say the class & your coaching have paid off significantly already!

I doubled down on the Mindshift Program after 2 meetings because the value I got from the organization as a whole was so strong. They tailored the program to exactly what I need- It was my agenda!

If you are debating pursuing Mindshift, I would encourage you to go for it! I experienced growth of 10 – 15x at a minimum over what I paid in less than a year.

Projections this year … we are going to book at a minimum 250K of financial planning fees. We will double our Financial Management Oversight fees in a single year!
