The New Hire Program

The first year, built right. Identity before activity, the weekly rhythm, and the 40-Hour Framework that turns a new advisor into someone who lasts.

What this program builds

Most new advisors are handed products and pressure. This program hands them an identity and a rhythm. Across five books, the audio series, and the guides, a new hire learns to lead themselves — to prepare the week, do the honest work, reflect, and return. It’s the difference between an advisor who needs to be pushed and one who’s decided who they’re becoming.

The five books

1
The Success System
The operating system for a career — the identity and the weekly rhythm that make success repeatable, not accidental.
2
The Cornerstone of Success
Where it all begins: the belief beneath the behavior, and the decision to become.
3
Climbing the Mountain of Success
The daily climb — the disciplines that carry you on the days motivation doesn’t.
4
Building the Business of You
You are the business. How to build a practice on identity, not personality.
5
The Success Commitment
The promises you keep when no one is watching — and why they’re everything.
Monday Planning Mastery

The reading list

Every Monday, new hires go deeper into retirement-income planning through the research itself — nine papers, released two weeks at a time across the first eighteen weeks. In the app, each paper opens the week it is due.
