If you have an attorney who you're friends with and a doc who has a practice in the same town, what are the best ways to work with these guys to bring in clients if you're a rookie in the business?

LTC with estate planning. Get an insurance wholesaler to do the presentations. Just invite the dr as a guest unless he can bring something relevant to the table. Most dr are too busy or have zero business /finance presentation skills.

There is nothing wrong with being honest. When I first started, I contacted professional acquaintances of mine, and said I was starting out in the business, and if they had a rollover, it would be really appreciated if they could help me build my business, and I would treat them really well. I can think of one of those clients, I just met recently, and they thanked me for everything that I did to help them over the years.

Ask them for introductions to their friends/co workers. Take the doctor and his co worker to lunch so there’s not as much pressure

Simply call them. Lunch works for busy people who like to go home at end of day. It's okay to be new, and to reach out to professionals. Have an sincere and honest answer when they ask, "why them?". Do this frequently, get comfortable, and enjoy your new career!

I have a photographer/ videographer on my team who is amazingly talented at executing the work, but he has no larger creative ideas or vision, and totally shuts down when we try to push him. Has anyone ever successfully grown someone like this or is it a lost cause?

My previous manager would track us by hours daily, made a fuss everytime anything stretched and guilt us for that and the unplanned leave too unless it was COVID. Hinted him a lot of time, this is problematic but apparently he considered it "standard practice for agile".

Now 8/10 teammates have switched within < 1 year of project start (6-7 months with him) which tbh had good work in our opinion and even team was fun to work with even though none of us ever met in person.

How do I nicely tell a director (not the one I report to) that I don’t want to work on a project that she’s trying to get me on?

Manager said he’d talk to her but it isn’t sinking in…
