Wealth Management – a football coach will know a thing or two about this..

There’s a lot in common between a football coach and a financial adviser:

1. Strengths and weaknesses:

The value of a good football coach is similar to that of a good financial adviser. It’s about their understanding of strengths and weaknesses, and their ability to put a strategic plan in place that will deliver winning goals.

2. Insight:

The right sports coach gives you insight into both your growth potential and your limitations, and will also help you identify and take advantage of all the opportunities ahead. Similarly, the right financial adviser looks at the reality of your finances, including the risks and barriers to reaching your goals, and helps you gear your money toward wealth creation and peace of mind.

3. Valuable Advice:

The same way that a coach would not send you into a game unprepared, a good financial adviser would not encourage an expensive holiday when you are struggling to manage debt repayments.

4. Honesty:

Honesty is key in these relationships. When a coach asks players to disclose injuries, it is to prevent further harm. It’s also why financial advisers need to have the full picture of your financial status and goals – expenses, debt, income and financial aspirations.

Good coaches also understand that ‘practice makes perfect’.  In life, the better you know your own money habits and the more committed you are to achieving your financial goals, the more prepared you will be for any financial season – come World Cup tournament or friendly match.

At Finer Wealth our coaches/advisers are in for the long haul and we are wanting to form long term relationships with our clients rather than just for one season.
