What is the cornerstone of your financial planning process?
Solid money management is table stakes, not a differentiator. What really stands out is when you help clients be thoughtful about “what’s the money for” and then align their money to support the life they want to live and be in harmony with their values. Advisors who learn how to help clients make those connections will be providing a valuable service that creates clients for life.
