We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Ronell Rolfe a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Ronell, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Early in your career, how did you think through the decision of whether to start your own firm or join an established firm?

When I first started I worked for various firms for 5 years before starting my own firm. I took a leap of faith to be more in control of what fits my personality and ultimately to keep more of my earnings. If definitely was the right choice. It allowed me the opportunities to learn more and have more responsibility. When you work for yourself you tend to work harder and have more pride of your own brand. Ultimately it wasn’t just about me its about represent my last name for those before me and coming after me. Thing ahead it’s more of a generational business can continue to be passed down if I do it right.

Being in shoes is challenging but rewarding. I wear many hats. I’m prospecting clients, meeting with clients, servicing current clients, making presentations, answering and returning calls, texts, emails, and solving problems.

The first few years was definitely the most challenging. Those years are spent growing your business and clientele. I definitely experience growing pains in those years.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

I’m a man with passion to helping people with their finances. My desire is after people have an encounter with they will have a better under of money. I try to eliminate the fears associated with finances and simplify it with a system that will have them stress free and money always flowing. Money is like water, it moves in whatever direction we tell it to move. I often use this quote, “If you don’t tell your money where to go you will ask where it went.” People with money have options, people without money have circumstances. I try to make sure my clients are the ones with options.

I offer financial services products such as life insurance, retirement planning, budgeting, money growth options, and risk protection.

I’m most proud of weathering the storm and continuing to stick with my practice and helping people. Its very for fulling health people reach their financial goals.

How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?

Having integrity, being assessable, trustworthy, and treating every client the same regardless of economic status.

Any advice for growing your clientele? What’s been most effective for you?

I’m in a business where we get a lot of no’s. So I try to get the no’s out the way but talking to many people at time such as a seminar or doing group presentations. The more people I’m in front of at one time the more no’s I can get out the way and get to the yeses.
