Mark McKenna Little Speaker, Author & Trusted Advisor. In 1999 I nearly left the financial services industry, forever. I had built a multi-six figure business but I was killing myself working 84 hours per week trying to serve waaay too many clients on a transaction basis. Rather than quitting I decided to try one last completely radical idea: I crafted an entirely different business model focused on delivering TRULY comprehensive financial services. And it worked! I reduced my workload to just 3 days per week while quadrupling my business to well over $1 Million per year of predictable recurring revenue.
