• Considering the future involves more than just financial objectives; your purpose and values hold the power to impact lives significantly.
• When identifying your niche, examine your existing clientele and those you enjoy working with the most. Then, assess how these clients align with your core purpose.
• When considering merging firms or bringing in a new partner, it's crucial to align values and goals for a successful partnership.

“I work with women facing new beginnings. There’s a change happening, and they don’t know what comes next, so the life planning process really fits well because one of the things that it does is it helps you to identify those things that are most important to you.” – Phil Weiss
