What Killed The First Half of Your Year? Fear of Change?

What killed the first half of your year? Was it DOL Shock, the Economy, what is going on with the Election or now Brexit and compounding Fear Of Change?

What will allow the second half of the year to triumph?

There are many financial advisors that are full of belief, drive and success but they are not enjoying themselves.

They think that they are at the peak of their business career and the inevitable descent frightens them.

They have forgotten that there are still other peaks to climb because they have gotten used to life as it is.

They have lots of things and things to do but few aspirations.

They are full of problems solved, cases approved, business that prospers without them having to do a lot.

All that is left is the fear of change.

They go from client meeting to client meeting, staff meeting to staff meeting, client file to client file, project to project, seminar to seminar, association event to association event, charity event to charity event, golf game to golf game, party to party.

They meet the same people over and over and believe that everything is the same.

So they won’t have time to think.

Certainties and compliancy have replaced passion.

Where does passion come from?

From living your values, vision, mission, purpose, objectives, strategies and actions.

Forget the DOL, Economy and Election. Forget the fear of change.

Clarify and document your values, vision, mission, purpose, objectives, strategies and actions and go out and plant the seeds of change.

Anyone who stands outside the door of change and fails to recognize it may well end up leaving it open and allow tragedies to enter.
