Honestly, I think the big question for me right now is do I really need one? If I seem to know their entire mantra and at the age of 28 getting onto the ramp towards the the Fastlane, am only going to attract the franchise advisors is it even worth it at this point?

What what point does it become valuable to have an advisor? I'm thinking it's probably better to wait until my service has taken off and we've shifted things into gear - then I'd have LLC to worry about, along with a whole new set of tax rules... But then by that point wouldn't I go right for the accountant?
Good question. In my opinion, hiring and advisor is worth it when you have so much money that managing it is a job by itself. Or maybe earlier if you are a total disaster with your finances or have very little knowledge about financial products (although I would recommend anyone tonleran the basics and not rely blindly on any FA).

In any case, the value I see in financial advisors is not creating wealth for you, is preserving it and grow it to obtain some return consistent with the risk your are willing to take. As I see it, you get wealthy by concentrating your wealth in your business and taking risks you know well. And then, once you are wealthy, you can use financial instruments to preserve it and have passive income that help sustain it your lifestyle without running out of money. You can use a part to make crazy investments that will give you a lot of money, but I personally do not think that is the main value or rationale to hire a FA.
