Quotes of the Day

There are many financial advisory credentials. The Certified Financial Planner and Chartered Financial Planner designations (both known by the initials CFP) are the most rigorous. Not every CFP will exclusively build portfolios of index funds. In fact, most will sell higher-commission products. But a CFP is at least qualified to practice their craft. Most other three-letter designations at the bottom of an advisor’s business cards are comparatively unimpressive. [2022] - Andrew Hallam

Arise early each morning and read for 30 to 60 minutes in your field. Attend every seminar and course you possibly can. Make it a habit to seek out and attend at least four seminar programs per year in your field. Listen to audio programs in your car and as you walk or exercise. [2004] - Brian Tracy

Vegetarians and vegans tend to have lower bone mineral density (this translates into elevated fracture risk) compared to meat eaters, not only because they are generally more slender but because of the potential for inadequate vitamin D status and calcium intake. I recommend 2,000 IU of supplemental vitamin D a day for those getting inadequate sun exposure and at least 600 mg of calcium daily via calcium-rich plant foods——preferably low-oxalate dark green leafy vegetables, which include all greens except spinach, chard, and beet greens. (All very healthy foods, but just stingy with their calcium.) [2023] - Michael Greger

I don’t recommend ever doubling your size. It is safer to increase size when you are going from three contracts to four or from ten to twelve. [2003] - Marcel Link

In every sale, there is a key benefit that the prospect is seeking. This is the one thing that the prospect must be convinced of before he can buy. Your job is to uncover this key benefit and then to convince the customer that he will enjoy this benefit if he buys your product or service. At the same time, there is a key objection to every sale, the major reason that the customer will hesitate or decide not to buy. It is absolutely essential that you uncover this key objection and find a way to answer it to the customer's satisfaction. [2004] - Brian Tracy
