Does one need a FINANCIAL ADVISOR?

Question for you: How do you associate someone who approaches you introducing himself as a Financial Advisor?....  Salesman? Scientist? Astrologer? ....

When I present this question, most say the response in their mind is similar when a Financial Advisor/Consultant wants to associate with them. They freeze and break into cold sweat if the approach is without a reference from a trusted friend.

I am a Financial Advisor and it is critical for me to explain this point. So I will try and give you some perspective on this.

Common Question: WHO ARE THESE GUYS? AND WHY DO THEY WANT TO KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT ME?

Before we get to the point of discussing whether one needs to give away so much information, Let us do some fact find.

Let us shift the focus to YOU: yes you,  

"Do you want to be a successful person?"

Obviously the answer to that question will be a "YES"

However what we lack is the quantitative and qualitative data in our answers. i.e SUCCESS YES But, Why, How...

Let me try and help you out

Think of the 3 most successful individuals in your circle.

Think of their success formula

Think how they did it?

Think! Think!

HOW DO THEY DO IT?

Lets pool our answers together. 

1. Motivation

2. Hard work

3. Persistence

4. Luck

5. Patience

6. Courage...

But hey! Have we missed out something here? Something which is definitely common in these people. 

Something without which even a combination of all of the above wouldn't complete the equation.

Yeah. Thats PEOPLE! The most intelligent creature on this planet. And hope in the universe too.

Just think about the people around those 3 individuals you thought a while ago.

Go one layer deep and think of the people whom these 3 individuals might call as ADVISORS.

I request you to note this down.

My question to you is

Who is your advisor?

Whom do you take advice from?

Now my friend I think you just found the right question.

My advice: Have an open mind and be on the lookout for intelligent people. People who specialise in the area of Fitness, Fashion, MONEY... and select the best among them YOUR ADVISOR.

The people who you shortlisted a while back "as the most successful people you know" would have great Advisors in most of the areas mentioned above AND DEFINITELY THE BEST ADVISORS IN THE MONEY DEPARTMENT.

The Advisors who show them the way and help them make their decisions day after day.

SO. GO ON AND FIND YOUR ADVISORS.
