TOPIC DESCRIPTIONS:
Questions Great Financial Advisors Ask
QUESTION #180: Do you know what you should do? Its the questions you ask, not the presentations you make, that spell long-term success for advisors and clients alike. Advisors who ask the right questions, listen to the answers and use their clients success as their own measure of achievement will: dramatically boost money under management, significantly increase average account size and create clients for life who eagerly refer others. Ask the right questions and gain clients for life.
Leadership: Thinking on Top of the Box
The traditional sources of power have disappeared or diminished. Todays leaders must re-evaluate their style and master new sources of influence. Lasting success will come to those leaders who inspire new ways of thinking, being and acting.
This Is Your Time
"Despite the challenges in the world and to a considerable extent because of them this is the time to renew and rededicate yourself to the important work. Look at a list of great U.S. Presidents. Now there is a list of peace and prosperity Presidents, right? Wrong! Greatness requires something significant to push against. This Is Your Time.
The Great Salesperson
Some people say people are people and selling hasnt changed. But it has. Technology has transformed manufacturing, finance and distribution. Now is the time to reinvent selling.
Thriving In Turbulent Times
Thriving in turbulent times starts with an understanding that the problems we make are almost always worse than the problems we have. Our reaction to problems frequently creates more difficulty than the underlying problems themselves.
Shift Into High Gear
Ride a bicycle downhill long enough and we think were great athletes. Then we hit an uphill and realize were out of shape. So we put it in low gear and plod up the hill. Do what bicycle racers do. They stay in low for most of a hill, but before the winners reach the top, they shift into high, pop out of their saddles and pump hard. Thats how you win the race.
