What Killed The First Half Of The Year?

July 6, 2009 by Simon

the-winner-stands-alone What will allow the second half of the year to triumph?

There are many financial advisors that are full of belief, drive and success but they are not enjoying themselves.

They think that they are at the peak of their business career and the inevitable descent frightens them.

They have forgotten that there are still other peaks to climb because they have gotten used to life as it is.

They have lots of things and things to do but few aspirations.

They are full of problems solved, cases approved, business that prospers without them having to do a lot.

Now all that is left is the fear of change which is why they go from client meeting to client meeting, staff meeting to staff meeting, client file to client file, project to project, seminar to seminar, association event to association event, charity event to charity event, golf game to golf game, party to party so as not to have time to think, and to meet the same people over and over and believe that everything is the same.

Certainties and compliancy has replaced passion.

Where does passion come from?

From living your values, vision, mission, purpose, objectives, strategies and actions.

Forget the concepts, markets and products.

Clarify and document your values, vision, mission, purpose, objectives, strategies and actions and go out and plant the seeds of change.

Anyone who stands outside the door of change and fails to recognize it may well end up leaving it open and allow tragedies to enter.

This writing was inspired by and adapted from Paul Coelho’s new book The Winner Stands Alone.
