Change is eminent, control is an illusion, but dreams are eternal. Believe in your dreams!

It makes me ill how callously people talk about ripping their clients off I don’t know of any illegal behavior, but will people push the envelope and pitch lucrative and complicated products to clients even if they are not the simplest investments or the ones most directly aligned with the client’s goals? Absolutely. Every day, in fact.

Leadership used to be about ideas, setting an example and doing the right thing. Today, if you make enough money for the firm (and are not currently an ax murderer) you will be promoted into a position of influence.

Before you can ever inspire, motivate, or influence, you must connect first.

Change is eminent, control is an illusion, but dreams are eternal. Believe in your dreams!

If clients don’t trust you they will eventually stop doing business with you. It doesn’t matter how smart you are.

Taking action births motivation.
