KEY TOPICS:

Bill shares a bit about his bio, which stretches from a childhood experience moving to the Philippines to early roles as part of sales and marketing teams within the burgeoning airline industry.
When the corporate culture came to value money more than people, it was time for Bill to make a strategic change. It was time to hang out his own shingle, which he did with great success – becoming one of the top financial services brokers in the Midwest.
Shortly after monetizing his business and retiring, Bill had a chance to look back over his career and consider all the amazing coaches and mentors who made his good fortune possible. Now, he decided, it was his turn to focus on doing the same for others.
Whatever the challenge, Bill’s first step is always to find out from his clients: What’s working and what’s not. He’s in the business of understanding issues first, then defining strategies to navigate whatever obstacle.
1 Problem: Bill helps clients to stay fixed on their process rather than distracted by glitz, glitter or erratic practices. Instead, he helps implement solid habits and practices that, one step after the other, build methodical success.
The first step to success is identifying the anchors holding us back and cutting that metaphorical cord in order to run free towards our goals.
Just for Fun: Bill loves connecting with and helping people through church or other connections. He also loves travel, especially when accompanied by a guide who can deepen the experience.
Top Two Priorities: Bill always answers first to God and his wife!
Parting Words: Don’t let yourself get lost in the forest. Reach out and find a guide to get you where you want to go. It’s a journey you don’t have to make alone

KEY QUOTES:

“Over 30+ years I was the No. 1 independent broker in America for three different broker-dealers. You don’t do that without a lot of help and a lot of change.”
“Behind me I’ve got five decades of experience as far as what to do and what to avoid doing. And the second part is just as important as the first! If I can help keep you out of trouble, I can help you move forward faster.”
“I’ve been able to help a lot of people cut the cords that have held them back.”
“We want to get there quick. We want to do it all at once. But trying to do too many things at once leads to one thing: Overload.”
“When anyone is working on overload, they are not working their best.”
“When you’re going someplace you haven’t been, a guide can get you a lot more out of the trip and a lot more memories.”
