Deep dives
The importance of having a strategy for social security
Having a strategy for claiming social security is crucial and ties into other aspects of financial planning, such as estate planning, cash flow, and investment strategy. The goal is to make clients aware of the need for a strategy that they can take action on.
The focus on delivering value and taking action
The main aim of financial planners is not just to talk about investments, estate planning, or tax planning, but to help clients take action to achieve their goals. Delivering actionable advice and addressing clients' questions is key in demonstrating value and building trust.
The benefits of a one-page financial plan
A one-page financial plan is a concise and focused approach that forces advisors to be clear and intentional in their recommendations. It highlights specific actionable advice tailored to the client's goals and simplifies complex financial matters into layperson-friendly language. It also allows for easy tracking of progress and helps clients understand the value provided.
The importance of support and delegation
Financial advisors should focus on their strengths and delegate tasks that are not the best use of their time. Building a strong team, including virtual assistants, can help advisors stay focused on delivering value, creating one-page financial plans, and addressing clients' unique needs.
