If you want to change your business, change your standards. In this episode, Nick breaks down the practical, day-to-day standards that established advisors often let slip after initial success—but which are critical for sustainable growth. From weekly calendar reviews with your team to maintaining capacity buffers for client flexibility, Nick shares how raising your baseline standards transforms your practice. He discusses the importance of treating your team as your most important clients, the leverage that comes from planning further out, and why thinking like an eight-figure business while you're still at seven figures is the key to growth. This isn't about perfection—it's about consistent defaults that raise the bar on your worst days.
