From Bucket Lists To Live It Lists – An Advisor’s Path to $1M in Annual Production in 5 Years with Nicole Middendorf

From $0 to $1M in annual production in only 5 years sounds impossible, right? Think again.

Successful wealth advisor and certified divorce financial analyst, Nicole Middendorf, CDFA, joins us to share her journey from a troubled marriage to discovering her true purpose and helping others along the way – while building a truly Top Advisor practice. 

To distract from her divorce, she created her Live It List to help her find joy by pursuing meaningful experiences. She now brings her Live It List concept to her clients to help them do the same.

During this lively conversation, Nicole shares her insights about combining financial planning with helping clients achieve their goals and dreams.

Nicole also discusses her decision to go independent and build a team around her, as well as her client acquisition strategies, including hosting events and utilizing LinkedIn.
