Industry experts agree that the key foundational pieces for a successful business are:
Values
Vision, Purpose, Mission
Money Management Plan
Time Management Plan
90-day Goals
Action Steps
Project Management System
Most people, financial advisors included, don’t understand the importance of their values. Values are the DNA of the vision and the vision is the DNA of the business plan, all of which helps the financial advisor become a Leading Advisor in the industry. Without values, the entire plan will be misguided. An even greater challenge occurs when Unmet Needs dominate your values and create negative emotions and beliefs.
The problem with most personal and professional development programs is they present these steps in the wrong order. Worse, they don’t address Unmet Needs at all. That is the missing link.
