The road to true independence can be challenging, but it can also be very fulfilling on both a personal and financial level. As advisors survey the various options that are open to them in today’s financial services landscape, they may want to bear this advice in mind: in order to truly maximize the value of your business in the future, think like a private equity or venture capital investor today.

Rob Bartenstein is Chief Executive Officer of Washington Wealth Management LLC (www.washwm.com), an independent hybrid Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) producer group based in San Diego, CA, with over $1 billion in recruited assets under management.  WWM was established by former wirehouse veterans with the express purpose of enabling former wirehouse financial advisors to achieve freedom, independence and growth.

Rob, such an interesting topic. I sold my 1/3 practice to my two partners and retired 3 years ago after 27 years in the business,15 as an independent advisor. I know what you are speaking about and I too am concerned about the boomers selling their practices for a lot less than they anticipated. I just hope that advisors are listening. In April I am launching The Moxie Mentor for Female Financial Advisors. I show them how to become more successful in this male dominated industry by adding a little Moxie to their already honed skills. One of the topics I wanted to cover was scaleable and saleable. Any stats or articles you can recommend? Judy Brosky TheMoxieMentor.com
