Do you own or want to start an RIA? Just like investing, the first thing you will need, contrary to everything else you may have read or heard about in the news, is patience. It takes slow, steady, and consistent behaviors to see long-term success as a financial advisor! We also suggest strength, as the second pre-requisite, meaning to not quit your day job too early and/or have a 2nd stream of income in the early days! If you haven’t met me yet, my name is Adam Cross, and I’ve been in the financial services industry since I was 20 years old, having started in 2010. I launched my own RIA in 2020 as a result of an extra challenging wirehouse environment during the COVID-19 pandemic. I’ve made it my mission to help advisors of all shapes & sizes by opening the door to join my team OR by helping advisors with their own companies.
