It's January which means annual financial plan maintenance, goal setting, and risk reviews. What does this mean? In short, it's a SWAG (strength, weaknesses, action, and growth) analysis.

Got some great questions today from a couple interviewing me as they search for an advisor.
1. The setup question. “Are you taking on new clients?”…Of course
2. ”If your intent is to grow, what assurance do I have that my account will be PROACTIVELY serviced as promised?”
I loved this question because I got to brag about my service model (which I do anyways), but also explain what tools I use to scale efficiently. Start a conversation with me and let me answer that second question for you. What…you thought I was going to give it to you now?!😉
