Our guest is Edward Pritchett, managing partner at Symmetry Financial Group and CEO of one of their top-performing agencies, which boasts one of the highest agent-retention rates in the industry. During his interview, Edward emphasizes that as 1099 earners, agents are business owners; as such, they need to plan how to run a business before plunging into entrepreneurship. He also discusses the mindset required to succeed at the highest level and the need to stay ahead of the curve regarding industry developments and adapt your strategies accordingly. Join us to discover the practical implications of adopting the mindset of a business owner and how to avoid common pitfalls that hinder long-term growth, a no-nonsense approach to coping with those who don't perform as expected as well as creating an environment where agents thrive and stay committed, and why continuous education is the best avenue to advancing your professional growth and distinguishing yourself from your competition.
