The start of this trip brings a good omen … a miraculous complimentary upgrade to Executive Class on Air Canada … setting the stage for an abundant trip.
I started writing this blog on Saturday morning. I am cleaning up and packing up my home office and setting up my road office ( equipment and files ) so that I can go out on the road leaving Sunday @ 6am and returning Friday @ 8pm. All this after a marathon of creating two new financial advisor speaking presentation PowerPoints … thank you Laura and Tiffany.
Simon, be careful what you wish for!
I have another one of these trips coming up the week of November 16th with back to back financial advisor speaking presentations in Sudbury, Ottawa and Thunder Bay.
This week brings 4 financial advisor speaking presentations / investment advisor speaking presentations in Waterloo, Toronto x 2 and Kelowna over 5 days with 4 separate financial advisor speaking presentation / investment advisor speaking presentation titles travelling 8000 kilometers to do it.
A Niche Within A Niche? – Noting that I’ve been invited to speak on behalf of an investment advisor firm on Monday in Waterloo, the first investment advisor speaking presentation that I have done … to my amazement … in about ten years. I’m interested in seeing the age of the investment advisor demographic compared to the average age of the financial advisor demographic which is 58 years old and growing one year older every year going forward. This means that in 7 years, the average age of the financial advisor niche will be 65 years old. I’ve been thinking that even though we have invested a lot in the financial advisor niche, it is time to branch out into a younger niche. I am fighting the belief that it may foolish to try to inspire someone at 58 … then again, look at Coronel Saunders of KFC fame, it didn’t get going until he was 65.
Whatever the niche, whether it be financial advisor coaching / financial advisor speaking or investment advisor coaching / investment advisor speaking, we have a lot to offer as our speaking titles library is abundant;

I’m about an hour and a half into my Air Canada Executive Class 🙂 flight to Toronto and taking this opportunity to focus my attention on the projects that I want to do for the week using my flight and hotel time this week;
• Fine tune the following PowerPoints and practice the delivery;
1. Breakthrough The Plateauing Out Syndrome
2. Clear Your Roadblocks
3. Magnify Your Practice Management With Attention Management – I’ve changed the title of There Is Nothing New! – How To Use Old Ideas In “The New Normal” to Magnify Your Practice Management With Attention Management
4. The Six Degrees Of Life Insurance Connection
• Locate a video light kit for the digital video camera
• Complete the writing of the program, marketing and web site for the upgrade of The Clear Your Roadblocks One Day Workshop and Coaching GYM
• Add value to clients by sending them additional exclusive Articles, Assignments, Audios, E-Books, Forms, Scripts, Templates, Tools, Worksheets
• Client & Prospect E-mails
• Create a Script for when I visit Tradeshow booths; I am thinking along the lines of asking the people manning the booth for the person`s contact info that is in charge of speaking decisions as I would like to send them a manuscript for The Plateauing Out Syndrome
• Write Blogs and Tweets for the week in one sitting. Speaking of Twitter, click this link to my Twitter Page or you can click these links to my last two weeks of; Twitters for Week of November 18 and Twitters for Week of November 25. I am seeing a unique value in Tweeting as the ideas get posted into one spot that I can share immediately and I could eventually assemble them into an article or book. Note that I said Tweeting ideas and not “I just scratched myself”. I could do this on my computer without Twitter but there is a lot less inspiration.
