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...

How Much Disability Insurance Should I Own?

First of all, if you are reading this blog you have some interest in protecting your income in the event you become disabled. Disability insurance (DI) is often referred to as Income Replacement Insurance, but in reality it’s not the income people want to protect; it’s their life style and assets they wish to protect. While many business owners and employees are covered through Group Insurance at work, many self-employed business owners and professionals are either not covered or fail to keep their policy in pace with their growing income year after year. The amount of coverage one owns with Group Insurance is often predetermined by a formula or a set amount in the group contract, set by your employer. If this is the case, you often don’t have a choice or voice to change the amount- even if the monthly benefit is not enough. People without “Group” Insurance can determine the actual amount of coverage they want to purchase up to an “issue limit” based on their insuranc...
