Nick Davies cuts through the New Year noise to reveal what actually drives seven-figure growth in advisory businesses. Instead of obsessing over numbers that "reset to zero," Nick shares why the most effective advisors focus on removing constraints—starting with themselves. He breaks down the "triangle of numbers" approach to tracking what matters, explains why your recurring business means you never truly start at zero, and introduces the motorcycle-and-sidecar analogy that reframes how you should think about metrics. Most importantly, Nick identifies the real bottleneck in your business (hint: it's you) and provides a practical framework for buying back your time so you can work ON your business instead of just IN it. Whether it's January or October, this episode gives you permission to reset, refocus, and build the business you actually want—without sacrificing family, health, or sanity.
