Anna Sergunina knows the difference between a business and a practice - which she's proved with her fantastic work helping to develop MainStreet Financial Planning into what it is today. On this episode, Anna shares the story of her career, from how she got started in the business to how she became the owner of a highly successful planning practice. Anna shares many valuable takeaways from her experiences developing an hourly-based business with a focus on planning rather than asset management.

Anna specifically talks about her experience transitioning into ownership of the business and what the process taught her. She also shares details on how her team finds clients, their follow up process, the packages and pricing they use, and much more. Finally, one of the key points she explores is the importance of knowing what to outsource and when to bring in help so that you can focus on what you’re really good at and where you’re most needed. This concept is crucial to the development of any successful business.
