“What we find is that the firms who put their stake in the ground and say ‘This is who I work with, the only person I work with, and everyone else I am going to refer out…’ we see they grow faster, they earn higher fees per client, they spend less time per client, and they’re self-reporting delivering higher value and more value to those clients.”

SEI’s Shauna Mace with a 4-part productivity framework to keep from getting bogged down in busywork [Podcast]:
“Advisors can probably [relate] to it, too, with their clients. I learned very quickly as a consultant, that I could give advice. I could give great advice, I could give proven advice, but if there wasn’t action taken, then who cares, right? So, I learned pretty quickly that a large part of success, taking action in the right way, sustainable growth, all of these things depended more on the coaching side. They depended more on the mindset.“

Kate Healy on how to create your ideal career path [Article]:
“Not in the perfect role yet? How can you expand the role you have to include tasks that you enjoy? Look around your firm and see what is not getting done because it is a ‘on the side of the desk’ responsibility. What new initiative is your firm trying to get off the ground? Raising your hand to take on extra responsibility not only gets you noticed, but lets you try on new roles and responsibilities with minimal risk to your current job. And suddenly your run-of-the-mill role has some new accountabilities that just may be the ticket to your ideal job.”

Ben Carlson on time management: routines, downtime, buying time, and spending time [Article]:
“Maybe I’m becoming sentimental with age but just looking at this chart brings about all sorts of feelings.
The kids one really got me.
I never really put much thought into time management when I was young.
Now I’m much more deliberate with how I spend my time, mostly out of necessity. Responsibilities tend to increase with age so juggling work, family, friends, health, and hobbies is no easy feat.”

Morgan Housel on managing the potential costs of exceptional “opportunities” [Article]:
“Maybe your portfolio surged during a bubble, your company hit a monster valuation, or you negotiated a salary that exceeds your ability. It feels great at the time. But reality eventually catches up, and demands repayment in equal proportion to your delusions – plus interest.
These debts are easy to ignore because they are often repaid in the form of self-doubt and crushed morale. But they are very real, and when you understand their power you become careful what you wish for.”
