My clients hire me for several reasons, one of the main ones is to give them sound advice to help them get their finances in order.Have you ever given someone some good advice? For most people this answer is yes.
How many times have you watched talk shows or a movie and yelled out advice to the person that was getting ready to do something crazy!
"Break up with him!" "Forgive her, she loves you!" "Stop drinking and driving!" "There not your friends, stop hanging out with them!"
You know what makes it so easy? It's always easier to give someone else advice because you are not emotionally attached to their situation! Think about, haven't you been in some of the same situations that you've given a friend advice on? When your in the situation emotions will try to take over and make you do crazy things especially when it comes to dealing with your finances! That is why getting advice from someone outside of your situation is so powerful.
So next time you have a difficult decision to make do this: Step back from your situation and pretend that it's someone else going thru it. Then ask your self this question, what advice would I give my friend that's in this same situation. Or better yet seek advice from someone that you respect and you know has your best interest in mind!
There is safety in wise counsel!
