How many of you advisor's who are taking the view to go part time have gone to your fsm or rsm before taking the plunge 
It seems a shame to be forced into making a decision of this type but there is definitely a move to wards creating a two tier system IE specialists and non specialists and i must presume the majority of people leaving or going part time would fall into the latter.
Personally i have divided views I'm having a good year and have specialist status but am aware it could go in the click of a button so feel quite vulnerable in that respect but i have a large loyal customer base and receive many self generated leads which if needed would I'm sure help me set up on my own should and hopefully not the matter arise .
As to 3 for 99 I'm lucky it was try ed and failed most of my customers (few asked) that saw it turned their nose up at it but it must be a nightmare for those of you in those areas still running it i really do think it has devalued our brand beyond repair .
