The Advisor Authority is the premier business-growth training company for elite financial advisors.
Founded on decades of real-world success, we’ve distilled the exact strategies used to build and sell a nine-figure advisory firm into a proven, step-by-step system that helps advisors scale with structure, speed, and results.
We’re not generalist coaching. We deliver prescriptive training built for high-performing advisors who are ready to attract bigger clients, close more business, build a scalable team, and create a business worth millions.
Everything we teach is rooted in real-world results, not theory. If you’re ready to grow beyond production and stop guessing your way to scale, you’re in the right place.

She is also the author of the advisor training book, Seven Figure Firm: How to Build a Financial Service Business that Grows Itself and the creator of the Elite Advisor Success System™ – the most comprehensive business-building training for financial advisors at any level.
She believes in the power of opportunities, and donates a large portion of the profits from her training company to support orphans helped by several organizations in Africa including, the Ebenezer Foundation, Zoe Empowers, and Overland Missions.

He went on to become a Branch Manager for Edward Jones and eventually an Investment Officer/LPL advisor for a regional bank. Besides holding the securities and insurance licenses, Mike also earned 4 advanced certifications in the financial field: CFP®, CLU®, CEP® and CWPP™ designations. While there, he received the ‘Representative of the Year’ regional bank advisor award seven times, Top 200 Producer twice, and Top 10 Producer Twice (2005 & 2007) with LPL Financial.
Mike and his family decided to move to Texas in 2014 (to escape the snow and long winters) and there met his mentor, Erin Botsford. As Erin was designing her successful exit, they formulated a plan to capture all of Erin’s best practices to help advisors grow their businesses with her proven blueprint. Now as COO, he has helped train and impact the lives of thousands of financial advisors. When not working, Mike spends his time with family and physical fitness hobbies.
We’re not generalist coaching. We’re built for elite advisors who want to scale past $1 million in production.
