Our
mission is to help advisors spend time with their families, focus
on their health, and achieve balance. On today’s episode of the
Balanced Advisor Podcast, we are sharing a bonus track from
Achieving
Balance which includes
an interview with Dr. Travis Parry and Derek
Notman. Why did Dr.
Parry write this book? How can Achieving Balance help you be a better advisor, spouse, and
parent?
Once
an advisor himself, Dr. Parry felt the pull between being an
advisor and running a business and he knew others were struggling
with this balance as well. He hasn’t been afraid to confront the
mistakes the industry is making when it comes to work-life
balance.
After
writing the first draft of his book, Dr. Parry saw that he needed
to change his approach and rewrote Achieving Balance as an inspirational workbook for advisors. This way, he
could give real and tactical advice to others.
A lot
of his book focuses on building strong relationships. Which is
super important when striving towards a balanced life. Whether it’s
with friendships, partnerships, or family, relationships can be our
anchor. Life isn’t always about productivity.
Dr.Parry includes additional resources for advisors
in Achieving Balance. The book includes free courses, downloadable
resources, and more to help advisors achieve their goals. He
recommends an hour a week to prioritize working through the book
and setting your boundaries. In this new year, we hope you take
whichever actions you need to achieve balance and prioritize
yourself!
