You’re not just building a business. You’re building a life.

The question is: Are you doing it by design—or by default?

I spent 18 years as a financial advisor at Northwestern Mutual, serving over 700 clients. For a long time, I thought I’d retire there. I built a team, hit Million Dollar Round Table, and wrote over 100 lives every single year for my first decade in the business. I was a consistent new client bonus qualifier and averaged 660+ referrals a year—without paying for leads.

But life had other plans. After a long health battle—including two years on disability (through Northwestern Mutual, thankfully)—I was called to something deeper. I left the career I thought I’d keep forever and became a Functional Health Practitioner.

But coaching advisors through One Degree Consulting has become the bridge between both worlds: helping you build a business that is strategic, sustainable, and fully aligned with your design.

What I Help Advisors With:

  • Radical clarity and accountability — I’ll say what your colleagues, friends, and managers won’t. Because someone has to.

  • Removing the weird — Prospecting, referrals, closing, and asking for the check don’t have to be awkward. I’ll help you make it natural and effective—for both you and the client.

  • Setting clear client expectations — I’ll teach you how to set appointments up so that your clients show up to the close meeting with their banking info—before you even ask.

  • Prospecting mastery — You’ll consistently generate 60+ high-quality referrals per month, even without a list or warm market. No leads required.

  • Owning your numbers — I’ll help you identify and execute the exact daily activity that aligns with your annual revenue goals, so your emotions don’t dictate your business results.

  • Cash flow coaching — I’ll help you manage your own money like a business owner—and teach your clients how to do the same through clear, actionable savings plans.

  • System-building for scale — Together, we’ll build out language and process for every step of your client experience, so you can close with confidence and consistency.

I’m not here to hype you up.

I’m here to make sure you don’t waste your potential.

Let me ask you this:

Are you comparing yourself to your past, your peers, or your potential?

Because when you work with me, we’re not building your business to look like someone else’s.

We’re not copying scripts or chasing generic benchmarks.

We’re building for your potential.

And that requires vision.

It requires structure.

It requires ownership.

This is your one shot to build something real.

Let’s build it by design.

"Write the vision; make it plain...though it linger, wait for it; it will surely come."

-Habakkuk 2:2

"Where there is no vision, the people perish..."

-Proverbs 29:18

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

"Some coaches are like going to planet fitness, they're just going to make you feel comfortable so you keep paying. I’ve learned that Jess is more like a powerhouse/ elite level coach. If someone is already doing the deal but wants more growth, she's the perfect fit. After just one year of working with Erica, one of our advisors, she’s up 75% in lives, 50% in new clients, and 46% in premium. Don’t wait—give Jessica a call now."

Pat Olsen

Co-MD with Northwestern Mutual

"Working with Jessica for the past year has been nothing short of transformational. When I first started, I thought I was just hiring a business coach — but what I got was a strategic partner, a motivator, and a results-driven powerhouse.

In just over a year, Jessica has helped me double my business production. She’s pushed me outside my comfort zone, held me accountable, and given me tools and strategies that actually work in the real world — not just in theory. Her ability to quickly identify opportunities, cut through the noise, and focus on the actions that drive results is unmatched.

If you’re serious about growing your business, stop overthinking it and hire Jessica. She doesn’t just change your business — she changes the way you operate, think, and lead. I’m living proof that her process works."
