What do successful athletes, business executives and performing artists have in common?
They surround themselves with coaches, advisors, trainers and other professionals. Think about it, how many successful people do everything themselves?
These people focus on their unique talents and delegate everything they can to others. The most successful people have found a way to spend more of their waking hours than everyone else doing what they are best at.
There are many incredibly accomplished successful people that are no smarter, talented or special than most others. What separates them is having found their unique talents and focusing more than 20 percent of their time on those activities.
What if you spent 30 percent instead of 20 percent of your time on what you were best at and delegated more? The Pareto Principal shows us that you would be 50 percent more productive.
What about all of the small decisions that are the difference between getting the outcomes you want in life and just getting what you end up with? Who wants to be 65 having made enough money to retire and not be able to?
Who wants to build a business they consider their retirement nest egg and find that because they didn't have an exit strategy in place they ended up with one that doesn't meet their needs? Just knowing what you want, having a plan and being held accountable exponentially increases your chances of attaining your financial goals.
It is proven that people who work with a financial professional generate higher returns over time than those doing it themselves. If you have a skilled financial professional ensuring you have clarity regarding your financial goals and the reasons you want to achieve them, you've got a powerful amount of leverage.
Knowing this, why would anyone want to manage their own money and make their own decisions about insurance, estate planning and business succession planning? Instead, do what the most successful people do, delegate, leverage your time and focus on what your are best at.
Despite the clear evidence to the contrary, working with a financial advisor is not for everyone. Some people cannot let go and delegate things related to money.
Some people are incredibly competent at handling their own money and are able to spend the time. Not many, but some.
For those who understand the power and leverage of hiring a trusted financial advisor and are willing to delegate, it's an easy decision.
