Taking Care of Yourself and Your Practice

During volatile times, it is important for advisors to prioritize self-care and the well-being of their practice. This includes exploring the concept of a go-back, which involves intentionally putting together resources to navigate challenges and uncertainties. By having a plan in place, advisors can move forward with intentionality and planfulness when faced with time constraints or threats. This concept is especially relevant in the current marketplace, where advisors may experience significant corrections and compressed fees. By acknowledging the cone of uncertainty and preparing for potential risks, advisors can creatively and thoughtfully address these challenges.
