| Payback’s a…. It’s that time again… …as wives all across the country hoard the TV to watch sports and give their husbands a taste of their own medicine. Olympic ice skating is here! Don’t get me wrong, I stand in awe with what these athletes can do on steel-hard ice with knife blades strapped to their feet. But I just don’t understand the nuances enough to appreciate it. (And “it’s pretty” doesn’t really cut it for me either.) So my judgement of a good vs. bad routine is “did she fall or not?” That’s all I got. Just ask Chantal However, if you ask someone like Chantal who’s an ice skating coach in her spare time, she has a level of understanding which the average person will never reach. She 100% knows what a triple lutz is. AND she knows what a good triple lutz versus a bad triple lutz is. When you’ve put in the time to become an expert in your field, you see things the average person can’t. You pick up the small nuances that go unnoticed by the untrained eye. This goes for any profession – attorney, mechanic, CPA, doctor, dentist, financial planner, etc. The “financial triple lutz” I know as a CFP professional of 14 years, I can evaluate a financial decision in the blink of an eye, weighing the risks, benefits and known unknowns without lifting a finger. But I’ve logged 56,000 hours doing this stuff. If there was such a thing as a “financial triple lutz”, you bet I could tell you why they received a 0.10 deduction even though they didn’t fall. So if you’re watching your own Financial Olympics at home and you don’t know what a “financial triple lutz” is, then schedule a Discovery Call. Your financial future is too important to rely on “Did she fall or not?” |
