  • How to Increase Your Income
    Sep 27 2024

    What is your default setting when confronted with the prospect of saving more? Do you immediately think about how you can cut expenses or do you think about different ways to increase your income? There is a limit to how much you can reduce your expenses, especially if you have dependents. Your ability to earn, on the other hand, is open ended. There are realistic limits, of course, but many never reach their true income potential. Join Ben and Brent as they discuss some different ways you can do this.

  • The Future Of Advice
    Sep 7 2024

    Low cost investment providers such as Vanguard have commoditized investing, pushing wealth managers to broaden their scope to deliver value. When “S&P and chill” effectively summarizes a sensible approach to wealth building, what more is there for advisors to do? Just as Warren Buffett’s advice “be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful” is easy in concept, difficult in application, so is optimal wealth management.

    Managing wealth effectively involves much more than selecting investments. It involves managing emotions, career, tax liabilities, and purpose. Growing advice practices have embraced all aspects of managing wealth using a holistic life coaching approach. Effective Advisors understand that there are just some needs the “S&P and chill” approach cannot address and seek to fulfill qualitative human needs.

  • Spending in Retirement
    Aug 24 2024

    Saving for retirement is a challenge, perhaps one of life’s greatest challenges. It requires a sacrificial mindset that favors tomorrow over today. This mindset can eventually calcify, becoming an ingrained personality trait. Shifting this mindset in retirement can be an even greater challenge, but is necessary to live with an optimal quality of life.
