Anyone else feel burnout?
I am 8 years in the industry with a big name firm. I've managed to survive but I feel my business is nowhere near it should be based on my tenure. I built my business from knocking on doors and LinkedIn prospecting. I currently have $53M AUC and $283k trailing 12. The growth of my business has been incredibly slow the past couple of years. I'm starting to lose faith in my abilities to be in this role. Covid really affected my mental health and business as I had some lingering brain fog, and felt I lost my ability to connect with people in a meaningful way. I do feel like I've made improvement mentally since then, but it really set me back.
The income potential is what keeps me here, but I am burned out on prospecting, fighting for business, and feeling like I need to put on a dog and pony show when speaking to new prospects/clients. I do enjoy helping clients with their financial plan. I have a challenging time connecting with people or even calling my clients as I don't really know what to say.
What changes should I be considering? Has anyone else felt this way and found their second wind? Appreciate your input.
