Welcome to the December 2009 and 5th Anniversary edition of our Clear Your Roadblocks E-Newsletter and Leading Advisor Web Site.

What if after fourteen years since the inception of the internet, you have not invested in a web presence via a web site, e-newsletter, blog, FaceBook, LinkedIn or Twitter? According to Seth Godin, it will only take you about a year to catch up.

I’m no different than you. There are days when I am fueled by inspiration and fooled with desperation and the belief that I have too much to do.

“It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you’ll do things differently.” – Warren Buffet

While we are ranked on page one on Google search engines for financial advisor coach, financial advisor coaching, financial advisor speaking, investment advisor coach, investment advisor coaching and investment advisor speaking, it would not take all that long to lose this ranking and the inspiration that e-marketing helps to create.

Perhaps 2010 will be the year for you to understand that committing to building a web presence will help you to find your voice and assist you to develop your vision, business plan, marketing plan, brand, unique selling proposition and become a recognized expert within the niche that you choose. If you were me, you would be lucky enough to receive a call like this from a complete stranger that says “I’ve been reading your blog and your e-newsletter, I have $120,000,000 under management and I want to grow my practice to $150,000,000.

I believe that your web presence has got to be a part of your vision for 2010 and beyond because if your prospective clients can’t find you on Google, FaceBook, LinkedIn or Twitter, notice that I said OR … you don’t have to do them all, then you may not exist in their minds.
