It’s hard to believe the year is half over and it certainly hasn’t been
dull. While we’re all looking for more certainty out of Washington, the Fed,
the markets and the global arena, there are some things you can control on the thought
leadership, practice development front and personal productivity fronts. Here’s
what’s been keeping you and your peers up at night.

When it comes to avoiding
credibility killers (our most popular post so far this year), John F Morrow, Partner at Morrow &
Associates, LLC said, “You really gave me something to think about with ‘So...’
- I know I'm guilty of that and I fear my 17 year-old son picked it up from me.”
“Spot on post,” noted Thomas Greve,
Business Development Manager at EMS World. Another pet peeve, said Greve is
"’lets' nip it in the butt,’ instead of ‘nip it in the bud’ as in a plant
reference. Drives me nuts!”
Improving client communication and
relevancy
In this age of information
overload and clutter, it seems anything related to clear and better
communication has been resonating with our readers and followers. Avoiding Written and
Spoken Credibility Killers was by far our most-read and most frequently
shared post of 2017. But you and your peers also expressed concern about mastering the writing process,
getting your client communications better organized and creating
more relevant content about advanced planning services.
Understanding
NextGen and learning to unplug
Understanding the younger generation’s money priorities and financial advisor expectations is clearly challenging for many of your and your colleagues. While everyone’s trying to keep up with the 24/7 news cycle and the always-connected work life, you told us loud and clear that you’re very interested in simplifying your lives, learning to unplug from technology, taking strategic breaks and taking calculated risks even while on vacation.
