Which Seat Are You Really Working From?
Price your hour, split your week across the four seats every advisor sits in, and see what it costs you to keep doing the work someone else should own.
Your Week
Price your hour first, then tell us where the hours actually go. Be honest — the number only helps if it's true.
Your Seat-by-Seat Breakdown
Your week against a healthy mix, what each seat is worth, and the reclaim plan.
Your Week vs. a Well-Run Practice
Filled bar is your week. The marker is the mix we see in practices that are growing without burning the advisor out.
Seat by Seat
| Seat | Hrs / Wk | Share | Hrs / Yr | Worth Per Hour | Annual Value |
|---|
If You Reclaimed the Operator Hours
| Move | Hours / Yr | Worth |
|---|---|---|
| Hand off the Operator seatBring it down to a healthy 10% of your week | ||
| Cost to hand it offThose same hours at the operator rate you entered | ||
| Put half of it in the Rainmaker seatThe hours nobody else can work for you | ||
| Net gain from fixing the seat | ||
Healthy mix used for the markers: Advisor 45%, Rainmaker 20%, Owner 25%, Operator 10%. It shifts by practice size — a solo advisor runs more Operator; a firm with a second advisor runs more Owner — but very few growing practices run more than 15% in the Operator seat.
Getting out of the Operator seat is a systems project, not a hiring project. Let's map the handoff so the hours actually come back.
