Put this phrase in your vocabulary for the second half of the year because you are going to be hearing it everywhere: “a mild recession.” This is where the puck is going. All of Wall Street’s chief strategists and chief economists are going to be pivoting to this case if they haven’t already. The “soft landing” idea is going to fade away.

If you read many stories about entrepreneurship, you’ve probably noticed that most entrepreneurs have multiple streams of income. Mostly by design, business owners go to great lengths to make sure they have money coming in from all directions – or, as some might say, “making sure their eggs aren’t all in one basket.”. Entrepreneurship isn’t easy, and income streams dry up all the time.

During market downturns, tax-loss harvesting is often considered a ‘silver lining’ to an otherwise undesirable situation. In theory, the strategy allows investors to convert their capital losses into a tax deduction while staying invested so they can benefit when markets recover – ostensibly a win-win for the investor and, consequently, a popular strategy for advisors who are often eager to find ways to provide extra value to their clients in volatile markets.

I don’t believe there is one singular way to invest your money. If there was everyone would invest that way. Every strategy and philosophy has its pros and cons. The good strategy you can stick with is far superior to the great strategy you can’t stick with so a lot of this comes down to who you are as an investor. There are a number of factors that determine the type of investor you are.

Financial advisors are often responsible for working with a wide range of individuals, both among their client base and coworkers, who each have their own personality, beliefs, and style of communication. While it can be rewarding to build a large breadth of relationships, it can also be challenging to appeal to and feel accepted by so many different people all at once.

Like being inches from the end zone, many advisors are frustratingly close to their next level of success. You work hard. You put in the hours. But if your closing rate is stuck or your pipeline feels like a revolving door… something has to change. Most advisors are just one small shift away from dramatically increasing their revenue. The difference?
