Entrepreneurial Mindset with Jeannie Andresen

On this episode Kristin welcomes Jeannie Andresen, an Entrepreneurship Coach. After nine years in the financial services industry, Jeannie transitioned companies right before the pandemic. When she lost her job, she found courage and leaned into her intuition and started the business that has always been on her heart. She attributes her success to always having an entrepreneurial mindset, even when she was an employee.

Episode Highlights

05:45 - I never made that decision with fear in mind, I made it with my best intentions in mind of getting uncomfortable by switching industries, growing an entirely new skill set.

07:32 – I said to myself: OK, I’m grateful that this had happened, I will figure out why; and it led me to starting a business much sooner than it would have if I had resisted and pushed it away.

13:05 – If you show up feeling as though things are in your control, with confidence, with this mindset that you are a business owner, all of a sudden you begin to make decisions with more confidence.

24:45 – We never know what is holding us back unless we talk about it.

26:45 – The plan and the mindset lead to everything else.

About the Podcast

Elite Achievement
A leadership and execution podcast for financial advisors and firm leaders
Elite Achievement with Kristin Burke

You’re a financial advisor. Your calendar is booked with back-to-back client meetings. You have a vision to grow your firm. You’re not sure if you have the right team in place. You’re holding on to work you know you should be delegating. You want to spend more time doing complex planning and working with your best clients, but you’re still trying to deliver for every client in your book.

At the end of the day, you’re still the one driving the revenue.

Or…

You’re leading a team of financial advisors or a firm. You’re responsible for growth, but don’t produce the results yourself. They come through the people you recruit, develop, and retain. And many of them aren’t traditional employees, which means you’re leading as much through influence as you are through expectations and accountability.

Your calendar is full, but your time doesn’t always feel well spent. You start the day with a plan, and it quickly shifts as people come to you with questions, challenges, and decisions that need your input.

You’re constantly balancing competing priorities. Attracting and bringing in new talent. Launching and developing new financial advisors. Supporting career advisors as they continue to grow. Having difficult conversations when someone isn’t performing. Protecting the culture and keeping everyone aligned to the vision.

At the end of the day, you’re still accountable for the results.

Different roles. Same challenges.

How do you create clarity around your vision and get others aligned to it?

How do you focus on the right priorities when everything feels important?

How do you develop people and hold a high standard of performance?

How do you lead effectively while still driving results?

This is the work of Elite Achievement.

A leadership and execution podcast for financial advisors and firm leaders who are building and scaling a firm and being challenged to lead at a higher level as success becomes less about your individual effort and more about how you lead.

Kristin Burke brings over 20 years of industry experience and works closely with financial advisors and firm leaders as they build firms, develop people, and navigate the challenges that come with growth.

Elite Achievement is about setting a bold vision, executing consistently, and becoming the kind of leader capable of building a legacy.
