Advisors considering the move to independence often share their concerns about leaving behind the culture, community, and support they've grown accustomed to in the wired world.
And that's totally worth it.
While many advisors are vocal about the lack of freedom and control at large firms, there are still many positives – like having a well-known brand with a seemingly endless budget behind you and the ability to build a solid foundation for success .
On the other hand, there are those who have made the break of independence and share that life outside the walls of wires is very amazing.
