At Primerica we welcome people part time until they have a base and income that supports an awesome quality of life full time. You will sell yourself short not to look at what our company is and offers

likefunny

I personally believe that you have to be 100% all in. This business is a long-term investment. I would rather you go to Vanguard or Fidelity or even work at the bank. Please don’t go to Primerica, I’m trying to be respectful, but you need to affiliate with a reputable competent place of business.

I had this exact problem, I started talking with advisors outside my company. I ended up selling my small book in exchange for him employing me as a junior advisor. He basically takes part of my fee's and commission to overcoming the salary. I can still grow, but still have a stable paycheck. I'm actually brought more assets and clients in because I'm less stressed.
Its win win, he makes money off me, i dont have to give up the career. Being independent he gets paid more and I actually ended up getting a higher grid rate than my previous company.
He is fee base and moving me that direction.. it's more consistent income.

I’ve never understood why ppl would hire a part-time advisor/planner to manage something as important as their money. I would never use a part-time surgeon or lawyer.

Yes. But are you doing your clients a disservice? If you aren’t focused on the business, it can be a supplemental income, but to do this job, you should be focused on it. That said, keeping the spouse happy and having that paycheck, is very comforting for those of us who eat what we kill.

One caveat, if you are going to “manage” money, don’t do that part time. It’s a formula for a lawsuit

like

If you have someone that you trust within your organization, see if they will let you keep your license and have your business partner stay on top of managed money with a split that is fair between you. H/she is doing the work, but your brought the trust and the relationship. In fact, by bringing in that person when you go “part time”, you actually may add value. I’ve spent 28 years in the business in multiple roles, and the ones that consistently do well are the ones who build synergy with other advisors. I’d rather have 50% of something than 100% of nothing.

I think primerica allows this

Pretty sure this is Primerica’s motto...
You could work for a company like T Rowe Price, Vanguard, Fidelity or a bank - they’ll give you a paycheck/benefits and you can still handle financial advisor roles...

I’ll add another suggestion for Primerica. The company frequently gets a bad rap here on Fishbowl and it does have some reputation issues caused by certain agents, but in my experience it has a lot to offer for people wanting to work part time. There are a lot of great fully licensed advisers who do great work for their clients with Primerica and it can be a great company for some people to work with. No minimum production requirements, excellent home office support, decent technology and 100% control over your schedule and your business.

OP, another consideration... It takes time to grow your business. I have been an advisor for 10 years, and the first 5 years were challenging. Looking back, I am so thankful that I stuck it out and didn’t quit because of short term issues. I’m now a million dollar producer and live like I have never could have imagined. ***Before you quit the business, make sure your wife understands what y’all will be missing out on after just a few more years. 2-3 years of hard work and living below your means is a small price to pay in order to have a very successful long term career. If you do quit for her, will you harbor any bad feelings or bitterness towards her when you look back on what you gave up for her?

The difference with the doctor/dentist analogy is they have to go through far more rigorous training. It would be like a 10 year veteran CFP with 100mil under management went part-time.
