Heart & Soul & Goals

 

Lets face it, we're humans.   We need to be inspired to be successful.  If its only about numbers, forecasts, rules and laws; it is unlikely to get done. 

 

What inspires you most?  Answer: Your own passions, as described in your own words.

 

Our process facilitates capturing what's most important to you in your own words.    

 

When the going gets tough, you need to able to return to the value behind the goal for inspiration.

 

The beauty of this is that we are not lighting a fire under you - you are lighting a fire under yourself.  These are your values in your own words.   We are just facilitators of a process.

 

How do we do this?   We facilitate a conversation that documents the "why behind each tangible goal".  Your innermost passions, which we refer to as "values" must drive the goal creation.

 

This is especially helpful and powerful for married couples because you hear each others values in your own words, which draws you to a better understanding of each other.  

 

Examples* of the differences between goals and values:

 

Goal name: "Help for College". 

 

Description: for each of our 4 children, provide an average of $50,000 per child of tuition and/or housing assistance.  The planning date is the 19th birthday of each child.

 

Values: "As a commitment to each other and our faith in God, we are called to raise loving and educated children who as adults will lead love-filled families and make a significant positive difference in the world.

 

* The above goal, description and values are fictional.  Any resemblance to actual client information is purely coincidental.

What to Do Next
 

The crucial first step is to understand what is most important to you and establish goals in alignment.  Then choose someone that can bring a team of independent experts together and assemble the advice (prioritized in your best interests) to make it happen.

 

That said, it is completely appropriate to choose investing as the first topic.   

 

We regularly analyze folk's current investment strategy with nothing expected in return.   (We'll analyze other aspects of your strategy if you wish.) 

 

We look at: 

  • Overall Performance (vs. benchmarks & our model portfolios)
  • Portfolio Design
  • Diversification
  • Fees & Expenses

Until next issue.
