“If you put something into your GPS to go from Point A to Point B, it’s going to give you the fastest route. But you might want to take the scenic route. Or you might have errands to run on the way or you might want to go in a different direction. So, it really allows the client to say: ‘Yeah, I understand that might be the fastest way to get there, but this is the way I want to go.'”

ICYMI: AllStreet Wealth’s founder Thomas Kopelman with an extensive look at the strategies behind his social media marketing success [Article]:
“People always ask me how I continue to post so much content. The name of the game is repurposing. For those who don’t know, repurposing is all about reusing existing content created in the past versus reinventing the wheel and posting something new every time. The latter requires 10x the time and is often a wasted effort. Instead, you should repurpose by reusing, editing, and reposting the great content you have already created.”

A thread on career advice for industry newcomers [Twitter Thread]:
Parallels between becoming a marathoner and elite financial planner [Article]:
“Training for a marathon is very tough. It requires dedication and years of consistent hard work. This is after you’ve decided on your training method.
Training becomes your whole life. It can’t be something you do on the side now and again.
For advisors, it starts with defining your niche or specialization and going deep into that space, and then staying on the path. It might mean years of study.
Running and training for years to become and stay an elite runner is a lonely journey best traveled with other runners.
The best runners in Kenya train in running camps with other runners, where they lead very simple lives together.
As advisors it means working with our peers in study groups and surrounding ourselves with those who think alike.”
