Seeds of Change
Planting the seeds of change is a dynamic process. It is a powerful intention that can create miracles, but it takes nurturing to be truly transformative.
The past decade of lost wealth, subdued returns, and advisor greed have been an emotionally painful experience for all investors. The one lesson investors should have learned from this past decade is that what worked yesterday, no longer works today. Wall Street and the financial service industry’s ‘marketing machine’ continues to convince investors that they must focus on what’s-hot-now stocks, fund managers, and speculative products for long-term financial success. This is so far from the truth yet investors are lured in by their advisor’s sale pitch for the potential of short-term gains.
“Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant” – Robert Louis Stevenson
Planting the seeds of change is a dynamic process. It is a powerful intention that can create miracles, but it takes nurturing to be truly transformative. This is such a powerful statement and investors should be asking themselves the following:
- What seeds am I planting to create future financial wealth?
- What dynamic process am I willing to implement to build future financial wealth?
- What powerful intentions have I defined to secure future financial wealth?
- What am I nurturing today that will be truly transformative in realizing future financial wealth?
So here’s today’s ‘Words of Wisdom’ – Plant your own seeds of change now…to maximize your future harvest. If you’re counting on a financial advisor to sow your seeds for you to harvest at a later time, you’re being foolish. Your advisor and the industry will harvest your field long before you do, leaving only scraps on the ground for you to gather.
