Change the way clients think about and plan for retirement by providing a crucial step to the financial planning process that is often never addressed and can cause new retirees to feel lost and unfulfilled during their first days, weeks, and even years of retirement.

 

Take a step beyond the traditional dollars and cents and help clients and prospects alike plan for everyday life in retirement including how to:

  • Replace their work identity
  • Fill their time with meaningful tasks and projects
  • Stay connected to family and friends still working
  • Remain mentally and physically sharp

Too many people start their first day of retirement with only a financial plan to guide them. Solidify your relationship and value proposition by helping clients get proactive about the next phase of their life.

President - Prince & Associates, Inc.;
 Executive Director – Private Wealth magazine

There are many ways to source the wealthy for your expertise. Nevertheless, centers of influence are generally recognized as instrumental to building a solidly successful practice with affluent clients. While extensive empirical research strongly supports the central role centers of influence can play in accessing the affluent, the greater majority of financial advisors and other professionals have limited success in generating a steady stream of new wealthy clients from these sources.

This webinar, conducted by Russ Alan Prince, the leading authority in the private wealth industry, will provide you with a systematic methodology for effectively cultivating centers of influence. You’ll gain a broad and expansive understanding of the various types of centers of influence as well as how to effectively map their practices and create an economic bond thereby enabling you to quickly monetize your evolving professional relationships.

Have you ever wondered why some people seem to achieve their goals better than others?

Have you ever wondered how some people are able to motivate themselves to do the necessary things that are unpleasant or uncomfortable to achieve their goals?

Have you ever noticed that some people are un‐phased by all the negative events around them and plow through to achieve their goals anyway?

Would you like to tap into an inner strength you may not even be aware you have that will improve your results in all of the areas that matter most to you, such as business success, health & fitness, and relationships?

What if just investing one hour of your time could unlock more of your true potential to be your best?

It almost seems like these people have a roadmap to success that the rest of the world doesn’t have. They do! And you can create your own personal success roadmap. This webinar will show you how. It might be simpler than you think. It’s certainly worth an hour to find out.

In this webinar you will learn:

  • The power of tapping into your personal, emotional “why.” This is “why” the most successful people in life, business, and sports are able to achieve so much more compared to everyone else. It’s been said that when you are clear about your reasons why you can achieve almost any what.
  • How to define your goals (the tangible “what” you want) in the most compelling way possible and in alignment with the emotional why you want them. This is what will truly motivate you to do the work required to achieve these goals.
  • The success metrics that define and drive your professional success and personal happiness, so you can move the needle on these dials to produce the results you need and want.
  • How to achieve work / life balance so that you don’t just make more money, but you live a great life!


This is a great business where you can earn Ideal Life income and have time freedom while helping others, yet even successful advisors struggle with cash flow and / or work more than is truly necessary.

Join us for an hour that could truly improve your business and your life.

Referrals are the #1 source of new clients and are an effective way to exponentially build your business. Yet, the one thing that significantly increases the odds of getting quality referrals and expands an advisor’s client base seems to be the most difficult to do – asking.

You’ve heard the saying that successful advisors do what unsuccessful advisors are unwilling to do. What exactly are those things that the successful advisors do? And what exactly are those things that unsuccessful advisors do?
 

In this high-content, what-to-do and how-to-do-it webinar, Bill Bachrach will dive deep into the specifics of the activities that drive success and those that create predictable failure.


It’s not personality or luck or genetic predisposition that determine your success or failure as a FA. It’s consistently doing certain things in a certain way that produces certain results.


This webinar will cover 4 key elements:

  • Client Service work habits
  • Client Acquisition work habits
  • Leadership work habits
  • Time Management work habits


You will walk away from this webinar with total clarity about what to do to be highly successful and what NOT to do that, if you continue doing it, will trap you in the quagmire of mediocrity where most non-failures in this business spend their entire careers. (Sad, but true, that most advisors who don’t fail are not really succeeding either. Not failing is not the same as succeeding. Don’t settle for being average!)

With record-low interest rates reducing the yield from CDs, money markets and Treasuries through 2015, advisors are looking at a wider range of investments to generate a more robust income.

The challenge now is finding assets and related ETFs that offer acceptable income within a target volatility.

This complimentary webinar will look at strategies for generating yield while preserving wealth during this period of extended quantitative easing, where near-zero interest rates and rising inflationary pressures persist.

Topics include:

  • The "war" on savers and retirees.
  • Treasuries: Does their yield justify the valuation risk?
  • A diversified asset allocation approach to income generation.
  • ETF Plus: Yield enhancement within a tactical ETF strategy.
  • Using equities as a bond proxy.
  • Alternative and international yield options.

Investors should consider the investment objectives, charges, expense, and unique risk profile of an Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) carefully before investing. Leveraged and Inverse ETFs may not be suitable for all investors and may increase exposure to volatility through the use of leverage, short sales of securities, derivatives and other complex investment strategies. These funds' performance will likely be significantly different than their benchmark over periods of more than one day, and their performance over time may in fact trend opposite of their benchmark. Investors should monitor these holdings, consistent with their strategies, as frequently as daily. A prospectus contains this and other information about the ETF and should be obtained from the issuer. The prospectus should be read carefully before investing.

Advisors are increasingly using low-volume ETFs-those that trade less than 150,000 shares daily and/or with wider spreads-to gain rapid access to market subsectors and to hedge.

This complimentary webinar will explore the benefits of using low-volume ETFs in client portfolios and provide advisors with insight on the ideal conditions for trading low-liquidity ETFs.


Topics include:

  • Using low-volume ETFs to access subsectors, ranging from biotech companies to oil drillers to volatility indexes.
  • Popular low-voluem ETFs across a variety of subsectors, ranging from the Peritus High Yiedl ETF (HYLD) and the SPDR Barclays Capital International Treasury Bond ETF to the PowerShares Water Resources ETF (PHO).
  • Examples of low-volume ETFs that advisors are using as hedges.
  • Why overwhelming the market with a large order, using the wrong venues or even executing at the wrong time of day can significantly increase the cost of a transaction.

Investors should consider the investment objectives, charges, expense, and unique risk profile of an Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) carefully before investing. Leveraged and Inverse ETFs may not be suitable for all investors and may increase exposure to volatility through the use of leverage, short sales of securities, derivatives and other complex investment strategies. These funds' performance will likely be significantly different than their benchmark over periods of more than one day, and their performance over time may in fact trend opposite of their benchmark. Investors should monitor these holdings, consistent with their strategies, as frequently as daily. A prospectus contains this and other information about the ETF and should be obtained from the issuer. The prospectus should be read carefully before investing.
