Only 30 Work Days left in 2015

Depending on what days you might work around Christmas, we only have 30 workdays left in 2015. While the Christmas rush is not necessarily upon us, the final 30 days of your work year certainly are.

Whatever your 2015 New Year’s resolutions were, and no matter what your 2015 business and personal objectives were, you only have 30 days to make it all count. So, here is a question for you: What can you do in the next 30 work days that will help you complete 2015 in the best way you can? Are you going to close every last piece of business you can? Or, are you going to open as much as you can to get a jump on 2016?

Regardless of your direction, the final 30 days are important. It’s the last leg of the year. Do you call your top 30 clients and ask them if you can help them in any way? Do you make a list of projects that need to be completed before the ball drops on 2015? Do you look back over 2015 and call all the clients you sold, and wish them a happy holiday?

The specific activity doesn’t matter. What matters is that you have 30 days left to do something great, so make it count. 

Let me know what you plan on doing in the last 30 work days. Let me know if this idea helps you.

The Importance of Financial Planning for the Future

I spoke with a physician client recently who’s family income was over half a million dollars per year. They have a good amount of cash built up in the RRSP (over $1,000,000) lots of cash in their corporation, and over $2,000,000 in real estate. They plan on working for at least 10 more years. A rough estimate of their worth would be between $6,000,000 to $8,000,000 by age 65. We were dealing with some insurance issues that needed to be solved and in the process I asked the question about retirement and asked what planning had been done. The plan was to keep going until retirement age, and then to assess the situation, she said. This was not an uncommon response as my experience shows many people spend more time planning a Christmas party then they do planning their financial future. My comment was this; if you were running a multi-million dollar corporation with very good cash flow, one where assets were growing compounded every year, would you want to have a business pl...

Critical Illness of Non-Employed Spouses

A fact of life is that people do get sick.   While disability insurance is a financial product used to replace an income for a working spouse, a non-employed or stay at home mom or dad does not qualify for disability income protection. This is when a Critical Illness policy can add value.  Aside from medical expenses, child care expenses or medical related travel costs, the working spouse often suffers an income loss when their spouse suffers an illness. Critical Illness coverage can provide a tax-free lump sum payment to help the family financially, and premiums are more affordable than one might think. For example, a non-smoking 30 year-old stay at home mom or dad can purchase a $100,000 policy covering over 25 illnesses for about $30 per month. In comparison, Halifax Metro Transit charges $78 per month for a bus pass, and cable TV and internet cost over $150 per month for a basic plan. A Critical Illness policy offers peace of mind, so you can recover with fa...
