A Solopreneur's Journey | Claudia Arnold

The path of a solopreneur can be both exciting and challenging. In this blog post, we’ll explore Partner and Senior Wealth Advisor Claudia Arnold’s journey from being a solopreneur to thriving within the Mission Wealth family, and how this transition has brought about substantial benefits for both her and her clients.

Enhanced Value for Clients

When I joined Mission Wealth in 2019, my primary motivation was to enhance the value provided to clients. The goal was clear: bring more and better resources to existing and future clients. At Mission Wealth, we always prioritize the question, “How can we enhance the value to our clients?” It’s a mindset that guides every decision we make.

Streamlined Support and Advanced Technology

One of my initial concerns was re-joining a corporate structure, but these concerns quickly dissipated. Mission Wealth not only streamlined operations but also introduced a technology stack that was previously unavailable as a solopreneur. The result was a seamless blend of personal service and cutting-edge technology.

Access to Diverse Knowledge and Skills

The transition from being a solopreneur to part of a larger team brought access to a wealth of diverse knowledge and skills. Mission Wealth’s team comprises experts with various specialties, each contributing unique abilities to the collective wealth of expertise.

Internal Strategy Team

One significant advantage of being part of Mission Wealth is access to an internal strategy team. While solopreneurs often rely on external professionals with busy schedules, Mission Wealth provides an in-house team to assist with wealth management strategy. This streamlined approach ensures timely and effective solutions for clients.

Form Strong Relationships

While professional growth is important, the most significant success is the strong relationships I’ve formed with team members throughout the company. Mission Wealth’s culture emphasizes collaboration and support, resulting in an environment where team members celebrate each other’s successes.
