Does This Sound Familiar?

  • I am putting in 60hrs a week into my business and I feel like we're getting nowhere
  • I want to be a great parent/spouse/partner but my business consumes all my energy (despite not making any money)
  • I’ve tried everything to get new clients and nothing works
  • ​I spent the most time on clients who pay me the least amount in fees
  • ​I don’t have time to Deliver Massive Value because I’m always putting out fires
  • ​I WISH I had systems for making things happen
  • ​6 months of vacation?!? I wish I could enjoy just two weeks
If any of this sounds familiar GREAT NEWS: Micah and Matt once felt the exact same way! 

In the Backstage pass they will teach you the tools and strategies they still use today in their practice to Deliver Massive Value, enjoy $500K+ personal incomes and MONTHS of vacation

The Backstage Pass isn’t just a ‘map’ to success. It's a turn by turn, GPS guided system that has been PROVEN by Micah and Matt to work

  • Deliver massive value to clients
The foundation of The Perfect RIA is creating the ultimate client experience that delivers massive value to clients, helps them achieve their goals, and improves their lives
  • Operate at north of a 50% profitability
We believe time is the most valuable resource, and that’s why The Perfect RIA allows you to take off over 6 months a year to spend time with family and travel the world.
  • Take more than six months out of the office to spend with family
By working smart instead of working hard and by implementing highly effective systems and processes, The Perfect RIA allows practices to achieve over 50% profitability ratios.

SO HOW DO YOU DO IT ALL?

This used to be our problem, too. You see, we don't just teach best practices, we actually DO IT for businesses that we ACTUALLY OWN. You cannot lead what you don't live.

We aren't researchers. We aren't coaches. We're business owners running RIA companies. 
In other words: WE ACTUALLY DO THIS STUFF...

...so we know how hard it is to achieve these 3 goals.

And that's why we created the Backstage Pass Membership.

We are guiding dedicated financial advisors through the proven roadmap that made it possible for us, TPR podcast hosts Micah Shilanski and Matthew Jarvis, to take 6+ months out of the year for holiday time while still operating a highly successful RIA.

The world is full of self-proclaimed experts, who love to claim that they’ve discovered the magic ingredients of success, DESPITE NEVER HAVE BEEN AN ADVISOR!

We aren’t experts, we don’t know everything and we have no magic. However, what we do have are PROVEN STRATEGIES that not only transformed our own practices, but that have transformed dozens of other practices. We know what works, because we are doing it right now. 

Lead your business with confidence towards success.

From failure to rockstar

When we were starting out, both of us independently made just about every mistake a business owner can make. 

Thankfully, none of them were fatal or at least we were able to recover from nearly fatal. 

Some mistakes bigger than others. Like that time when Matthew had even invested ten thousand dollars into mailing a postcard to everyone under the sun, expecting clients to flood in and only ending up with crickets.
 
So, back in the early days, our days would start with the worst morning routine you can think of. For years, Matthew would just wake up thinking “Boy, how do I quit? What do I do with all this debt? Where do I move? What would happen to our house? What would my family think?”

We kind of hated our jobs - and apparently our jobs hated us as well. We almost never had prospect meetings and when we did on a rare occasion, the word we pretty much never heard was “yes”. What we were hearing a lot more often is “I don’t totally understand why I would work with you, why I would pay you”.

It would crush us whenever we’d go to conferences, hearing how all the top producers were making million dollars revenue.

We’d think “Boy, I just wanna be like them, I just want to do that”. And then seeing these other guys and meeting them, we’d think “if only I did that”, and would end up having this goal from losing hundred of thousands of dollars a year, to next year making a million dollars practice.

Or maybe even next quarter. “I’m gonna fix everything this quarter and I’m gonna be back up”.

Instead, we would just dig a deeper hole, continuing to fail, throwing money out the door on all wrong things and not achieving our goal.

So what changed? 

Why did we suddenly go from years and years of no growth, of just beating our heads, of not making any money to having a really phenomenal practice?

It took us years to refine the processes behind these four big action items and to get to where we are today - delivering massive value to clients, having profitability north of 50% and spending six months out of the office with our families.
  
This has enabled us to create an amazing lifestyle, make a positive impact in the world, and create a legacy for years and decades to come… We want the same thing for you. This is why the podcast and now the Backstage Pass Membership have been created.

So whether you’re just starting out or looking to scale your existing business, you’re looking at the proven roadmap to success.

Get access to how the pros are doing it

  • Grow your practice to a 50% profit margin, to provide financial security to your family, achieve your financial dreams and protect yourself financially against the next bear markets.
  • To boost your client retention (not an issue in our industry).
  • To get more time out of the office without worry.
  • To learn how to delegate to your team of rockstars, which is the only path to having a TPR.
  • To deliver massive value in every client meeting.
  • To balance work and family.
  • Create a steady stream of ideal clients who are begging you to become a client.
  • To hit your own financial goals and dreams, including having as much time as you want with family.

You can achieve these transformations:

  • You will deliver massive value to your clients thanks to strategy deep dives where Micah & Matthew guide you through the exact processes they use with their clients.
  • ​You will be able to get more of the right clients as Micah & Matthew guide you through creating the right prospect tools to get you in front of the right clients.
  • ​You will become better at prioritizing your workday and focusing on the things that bring in the best results for your clients and business.
  • ​You will discover the art of delegation and be able to balance work and family like a pro, without losing sleep over lost customers, or missed moments with your beloved ones.
  • ​You will become a more confident leader having unlocked the Staff management and leadership resources all the pros are using.

Access strategies that can save you six months of hard work a year & make you more money

Micah and Matthew have so much confidence in the value you will receive out of the membership that they’re willing to share with you, right now, one of their many processes that will allow you to save six months of hard work a year.

Secret #1: How the top financial advisors maximize their time

One of the biggest struggles financial advisors have is finding the best strategy to maximize their time for prospecting, meeting with clients and following-up.

Micah’s go-to strategy is to implement surge meetings. This is the first thing that will allow you to make the massive transition from going to one to two meetings a week and working 50 weeks a year, to seeing maybe 15 to 20 clients a week and working six months a year while increasing the revenue.

Is this possible?
Yes, it is. Both Micah and Matthew are doing it. And they’re sharing the how with the Backstage Pass Membership content.

Could This Be You?

Taking time off from your business, knowing that you are attracting ideal clients, and have the processes that transform your leads into raving fans.

You could wake up in the morning feeling accomplished and loving every bit of your life. 

You’d have made the switch from struggling every day at the office, feeling like a failure to saying, man, I crushed it today. I was great. I offered value. 

I am going to grow this firm. I'm going to grow my business. 

“If you want to achieve success, all you need to do is find a way to model those who have already succeeded.”

This stuff works!

“These guys have some radical ideas about life and business that motivate me to act. You can tell they’ve done their own personal work, but they are driven and curious and intense and I love to listen. They keep me up leveling. Jarvis helped me hack my email addiction and ruthlessly delegate to my office manager and I cut my hours in HALF in 2019 - and still grew my business and my income and improved my client’s experience. This stuff works!” - Tanya Nichols via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/10/20

So grateful that another advisor pointed me to their podcast, as it’s had an immediate impact on the process that I make decisions within my practice. Keep up the amazing work guys!”
Loren Sherman via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/03/20
