Shownotes

A few years back, I got a frantic call from a private wealth consultant in New York. It was the kind of call that starts with, “Please tell me I’m not insane.”

She had just spent thirty-two thousand dollars on what she described as a “complete digital presence overhaul.”

Her new website?

Gorgeous. I mean, truly spectacular. It looked like it had been art-directed by Ralph Lauren, scripted by Aaron Sorkin, and hand-coded by a team of caffeinated MIT dropouts who’d just watched Succession on loop.

Every image was high-gloss. Every paragraph was polished within an inch of its life. There were even custom animations when you hovered over the navigation.

But here’s what she told me — word for word:

“Mark… it’s beautiful. But I think the only people who’ve visited it are me, my mother, and the designer’s cousin.”

Now, don’t get me wrong.

I love beautiful branding. Design matters. Style is strategy. But here's the hard truth: your website is not your business plan.

And if you're serious about attracting elite clients—if you're in real estate, private wealth, luxury consulting, concierge health, or any service where the stakes are high and the fees are higher—then it’s time to rethink what the site actually does.

That’s what we’re going to unpack here.

But first, if you want to get the complete roadmap—how to build a magnetic business that draws the wealthy to you like gravity—go to GetWealthyClients.com. You’ll find the books, the systems, and the premium strategies that turn high-end marketing from “hit or miss” into “dialed in and done.”
