We cannot control everything in the years ahead, but we can control how we live out our future.

The future is uncertain. We forecast the weather to an extent, but what about our lives? How will you live in your 50’s, 60’s and throughout retirement? Will you have the needed funds to live the type of lifestyle you want, or will you be relying on the aged pension, just getting by?

True, the future may be so far away that you push it aside, intending to deal with it another time. However, the real truth is, there’s no better time to start planning for a better future than now.

Having confidence knowing that your future is secure; that you will be able to support yourself and your family – not just today or tomorrow, but in 20, 30, 40-year’s time and beyond, is priceless. It’s the kind of peace of mind that money can’t buy.

Create Confidence in Your Future

Having confidence knowing that your future is secure, that you will be able to support yourself and your family – not just today or tomorrow, but in 20, 30, 40-year’s time and beyond, is priceless. It’s the kind of peace of mind that money can’t buy. Here are some tips to help you in your quest.

Being confident in your future isn’t just about being an optimist or knowing you have the finances to live comfortably. It’s about having a strategic plan that guides you through life to reach your goals.

Life can throw us a curveball at any stage. You need to be prepared to jump a few hurdles along the track and, most importantly, have suitable measures in place to help you over each hurdle as you approach them.

Having protection and securities in place to help cushion any potential curveballs – accessing and addressing potential risks – is just as crucial for building a confident future as is having the needed funds to support you financially in your future.

As mentioned, being confident in your future is more than a mindset. You cannot simply believe in it for it to come to fruition. You have to be proactive. You have to take the steps needed to build a secure future, starting with a strategic financial plan.

Think of the plan as a roadmap for life, a map identifying and addressing life’s key components (below), Recommendations and an Implementation Plan. A financial plan will provide you with the tools required to jump over life’s hurdles and get you to the finish line.

Key Components of a Financial Plan:

  • Financial Goals & Objectives
  • Income Tax Planning
  • Balance Sheet
  • Issues & Problems
  • Risk Management & Insurance
  • Retirement & Lifestyle Needs
  • Cash Flow Statement
  • Investment Planning
  • Estate Planning
  • Recommendations
  • Implementation Plan

A good strategic plan addresses the three P’s of strategic planning; Purpose, Planning, and Process.

Purpose

What is the purpose of the plan? Consider your goals and objectives. You should have a list of short terms and long-term goals. It may be lifestyle orientated, such as an overseas holiday or a financial goal to pay off your mortgage in 15 years.

Planning

How can your goals and objectives be realistically achieved? What services and products will help you attain your goals and objectives with the best outcome in the quickest timeframe? Strengths and weaknesses are assessed in the planning process to devise a relationship-oriented plan with goal-based advice.

Process

How is the financial advice implemented? A successful plan relies on the financial advisor’s ability to implement the plan and adapt to changes and the client’s willingness to stick to the plan, regardless of market swings.

Unlocking the True Value of Financial Advice: Trust the Right Advisor for Your Goals

No two strategic plans are the same, and not all strategic plans will yield the same results. A plan’s level of success depends on the advisor and their ability to implement their advice. There is value in advice, a great deal of value if it comes from the right financial advisor!

Previously, a financial advisor’s value was measured by their ability to beat a benchmark. Today, it is better measured by the impact their services have on clients’ financial outcomes, which is how it should be!

Tailored goal-based advice will always yield the best results, and for this, you need the right financial advisor.

The right financial advisor will understand who you are, know your goals and financial position, and put forth the best strategic plan to meet your goals and objectives. They will be relationship-oriented, solution-focused and goal-based, and they will have the ability to implement their advice. They will provide conviction, accountability, transparency, and confidence in their advice and build long-term trust that doesn’t falter when the market is volatile.

The right financial advisor will provide you with all the confidence needed to know your future is in good hands; that all bases are covered. The professional advice they provide will add meaningful value that can exponentially benefit your future growth.
