What you’ve done in the past may be the best predictor of what you’ll do in the future.

Time:⏱

• How much time do you spend reviewing your finances, checking account balances, and evaluating investments?

Training:🎓

• How often are you confused or surprised by your finances?

• What proactive steps are you taking to minimize your lifetime taxes?

• Is your money working as hard as you, or do you sense it could do more - you just don’t know what?

Temperament:😎

• Does thinking about money keep you up at night?

• How confident are you that your goals will be funded?

• Did you make any investment changes during the Great Recessions of 2008 to 2009?

• If so, what?
