How Nycole Freer Took the Leap to Launch Eden Financial

We're excited to launch a new series of XYPN member stories entitled "How I Did It."

Deciding to take the leap to start your own financial planning firm can be very scary. And actually "leaping" can feel overwhelming. There are so many decisions and responsibilities. How am I going to make this work? What business model should I use? How do I manage compliance? How do I market myself? What's this going to cost?

While the questions are the same for advisors starting their own RIA, their decisions are as individual as the advisors making them. In this peer-to-peer guest series, we take a deep dive into those decisions as XYPN members share their stories, resources, regrets, and successes experienced while deciding to leap and then to launch their financial planning practice.

If you're interested in what it takes to start your own RIA and are looking for inspiration and resources, we think you'll really enjoy these stories.
