Product Collecting Versus Planning

Are you collecting products or do you have a plan?

A lot of physicians I meet have picked up different financial things along the way: investment accounts, insurance products, corporate investment accounts, maybe income properties, and more. There's nothing wrong with this approach, but the two questions I commonly get from physicians after they have gathered a number of these components is:" "does this all fit together?" and "is this all going to get me where I want to go?"

It's kind of like someone dropping a bunch of puzzle pieces on a table but not providing the box to know what the puzzle is supposed to look like.

When doctors at this stage reach out to me, they are concerned that they have either done the wrong thing, not enough of the right thing, or they are unsure as to where they are headed. These are all valid concerns.

What I help them figure out is if a fee-based financial plan would answer these questions. A plan not attached to a product. A plan using data specific to their situation, not based on opinion or hearsay, but hard numbers.

Often times, an unexpected result from this approach is the elimination of FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out). There is no shortage of options when it comes to financial planning in general and there are even more options when someone has a corporation. A solid financial plan not only outlines your goals and what you can be doing to reach them, but also helps let you know what things not to do.
