71. To thrive, always be better than your best!

 

Usain St. Leo Bolt, OJ, CD, OLY is a retired Jamaican sprinter, widely considered to be the greatest sprinter of all time. He is the world record holder in the 100 metres, 200 metres, and 4 × 100 metres relay.

 Usain Bolt has shattered the world record for the 100 meter dash in May of 2008, considered to be the fastest man alive at that time, he could have "retired" and bask in the glory of this astounding achievement


The "be better than your best" mindset is very relevant to our career as financial advisors for three reasons:

  • First is that we need to constantly learn new things to keep up with our rising client's expectations, as markets become more complicated and complex, clients will appreciate our ability to synthesize oftentimes conflicting news reports into actionable insights
  • second is our competitors, we have to be able to continuously provide better value as clients can easily move to another financial advisor
  • Last would be to improve our overall skillsets, without constant improvement, we may become irrelevant, the skills that brought you to your current level may not be enough to bring you to the next

We might never become the best, but we can always be better than our best and it counts a lot

All the best my friends!
