Financial Advisors

Advice is not about to be free — but the chair across the desk arrives having already read three tidy pages. This book is about everything you write around the advice.

eleven and a half hoursof your week.

That’s eleven and a half hours in a normal week. Your first week will be slower — you’re learning a tool, and everything client-facing still goes through your compliance process, same as always. By week three, the numbers above are realistic. Chapter 12 gives you the 30-day plan to get there.

Read the opening before you decide.

Not a sample that stops mid-sentence — the whole first section, as
printed, the title of every prompt in the library, and the guide to the trade.

Prompt #1.

Printed exactly as it appears in the book. The yellow parts
are the blanks you fill in — there are thousands across the 150 prompts, and
they are why this works on your trade rather than a generic one.

COPY THIS — Prompt #1 · Your permanent profile

Paste into the custom instructions / profile box: “I’m a financial advisor running a [SOLO / N-PERSON] practice, [RIA / hybrid / broker-dealer affiliated], serving mostly [YOUR CLIENT BASE, e.g., pre-retirees and retirees with $250k–$2M]. Rules for everything you write for me: (1) You never give investment advice, never name or recommend specific securities or products, never predict or project performance, and never use words like ‘guarantee.’ You draft the communication of decisions I have already made. (2) Leave every number, date, and dollar amount as a blank ____ unless I give it to you. (3) Everything client-facing or public is a DRAFT for my review and my firm’s compliance process — you can label it DRAFT. (4) Plain English, professional and warm, no hype, no exclamation points, about an 8th-grade reading level.”

The questions people actually ask.

Do I need to pay for ChatGPT or Claude to use this book?

Not yet. Free tiers carry you through this book’s exercises and your first weeks of real use. You’ll know it’s time to pay (about $20/month) when you hit daily limits during a normal workday — that’s the signal the tool is earning its keep. If your firm points you to an enterprise tool instead, even better: those come with the data terms Chapter 10 wants anyway. Chapter 11 covers what the money buys.

Is this book going to tell me AI is coming for my job?

No. It takes the opposite position, and says so on page one: it is a good tool for words, it does not do your job, it does the writing around your job. The book's own last line on it is “this book will not tell you AI is magic, and it will never suggest the AI advise your clients. The advice is yours. The AI drafts the communication of it — and you approve, and your firm files it. That sentence repeats through this book on purpose.” You can read the whole opening, The Chair Across the Desk, free: 2,201 words, no sign-up.

What is actually in the 150 prompts?

Eight groups: Setup & Voice (1–15), Meeting Prep & Follow-Up (16–40), Client Communication in All Weather (41–65), Practice Operations (66–85), Referrals & Centers of Influence (86–105), The Knowledge Work (106–120), Marketing & Growth (121–145), Admin & Momentum (146–150). Every title is listed free on the prompt page, and twelve of the prompts are printed there in full.

I have never used AI at work. Is this too advanced?

It assumes nothing. Chapter 2 is “The 30-Minute Setup” and Chapter 3 is “How to Talk to It” — the tool is set up and the one real skill is taught before anything else is asked of you. The glossary at the back explains every term the book uses.

How long is it?

It is about 30,700 words across 12 chapters, plus the 150-prompt library and the glossary; the audiobook runs 2h 27m across 20 tracks, measured from the masters on 2026-08-31. Chapters 1–3 take about an hour and everything else depends on them.
