Perfect - it's what i want to be for my clients: a Trusted Advisor - it's what i hope my clients want from me: values-based financial planning

[Don Gorman]

A friend sent me this book as a place to start the process of finding out how to proceed in dealing with my financial future. Depending on your level of financial sophistication, there are different ways to absorb the information. As a mildly experienced investor, I found the first several chapters a little too much like an infomercial, but after that, I found several pieces of advice very helpful. Knowing your needs, desires and values are definitely cornerstones, but the message that a "trusted advisor" is the person you need to help you in this part of life is a good message.

if you want to create a financial plan that fits your life and your values, read this book and find a planner that uses this process to create your plan. It's working for me!

Bill Bacrach shares his thoughts on how the best financial advisors approach financial planning. While I have been doing this my whole professional career, I know that I can still do better. I look forward to putting some of his recommendations into my practice.

Great insight into the motivation that drives financial success

[Andrew Staines]

I thought I was buying a business book, but this is much more about personal finances. As such, I skimmed it and didn't feel I got much out of it.

[Parker Nielsen]

This book gave simple yet effective action items to create your own financial roadmap. It also gives some of the best insight I've read on the value of having a trusted financial advisor to help you reach your financial goals. I would recommend this book to anyone!

[Beccy Aldridge]

Interesting approach, although I prefer the main alternative from George Kinder - Lighting the Flame which encourages wider thinking.

Reads like a manual to a cult.
