008: How to Build a Company (and Life) in Service of Your Values and Priorities with Shawn Sparks

The Lifestyle Investor - Investing, Passive Income, Wealth

Today, I’m speaking with Shawn Sparks, who is a financial coach to the top 1% of Independent Financial Advisors. Over the course of the last decade, he’s helped financial services leaders market, sell, and run better businesses, and he shared the lessons and wisdom from these experiences in his book, The Advisor Breakthrough.

More recently, Shawn decided to leave his high paying job to work for himself, not because he needed to make more money, but to live in greater alignment with his priorities - and today, we’re talking all about it!

In this conversation, we explore how Shawn repositioned his life to achieve long-term freedom. We talk about what it means to build a company with people you want to do life with, what true wealth really is, and how to avoid becoming addicted to making money when it doesn’t serve you.

Key Takeaways

• How our work lives impact our personal lives – often for the worse.
• How to analyze deals, life, and work with lifestyle and family in mind.
• The thing Shawn was most afraid of as he left his previous career – and why the exact opposite happened.
• Why Shawn is giving equity in his new company to all future employees.
• The value of expert guidance in getting from Point A to Point B, no matter what you’re trying to achieve.
