Invest In Your Leadership, Niche Market And Reinvention

Leading Advisor Tradeshow Booth

Yesterday’s blog talked about life after the financial crisis and it is about reinvention.

Following through with my commitment to reinvention, I invested Monday morning in reading Seth Godin’s new book called Tribes.

How’s that for reinvention … some take Monday morning to plan their week while others run around with their hair on fire for four hours … why not read an inspiring book?

Now that my Curing Your Unmet Needs Disease book and tradeshow booth are complete and that the new web site will be completed by the end of the week, it is time to take action to reinvent myself.

Seth’s book is all about being a leader and adding value to a group of like minded people and the timing of Seth’s read couldn’t be better as I am looking for ways to add value to the financial advisor and financial planner niche that I serve.
