      Building a deep, personal connection with clients is essential for financial advisors to effectively help them manage their money. This intimacy goes beyond just numbers in a spreadsheet and allows advisors to understand their clients' emotional needs, values, and spending habits. By knowing their clients intimately, advisors can provide tailored advice and create long-lasting, meaningful relationships.

A trusted advisor's role goes beyond technical skills, providing valuable emotional support and making hard decisions.

      Emotional intelligence (EQ) plays a crucial role in business management. While technical skills are essential, interpersonal skills are equally important in serving clients and ensuring their success.

The best part, however, is her deep connection with her clients and the satisfaction of setting them up for financial success. Belvin emphasized the importance of having someone in your life who has your best interest at heart and can help make hard decisions. Whether or not everyone needs a business manager, having a trusted advisor is invaluable.

    Listen Now: Fail Better with David Duchovny

    Listen Now: Fail Better with David Duchovny

    We are dropping in your feed today to tell you about a new Lemonada Media series called Fail Better with David Duchovny. On Fail Better, David, who has experienced both low and high profile failures throughout his life, explores the vast world of failure - how it holds us back, propels us forward, and ultimately shapes our lives. Each week, he will chat with guests like Ben Stiller, Bette Midler, and more about how our perceived failures have actually been our biggest catalysts for growth, revelation, and even healing. Through these conversations, he hopes listeners can learn how to embrace the opportunity of failure and fail better together.

    You’re about to hear a preview of the first episode of Fail Better, where David catches up with Ben Stiller. Believe it or not, Ben Stiller has failed. (Remember Zoolander 2? He’d probably rather you didn’t.) As it turns out, Ben has had his share of flops, and he chats with David about those times in his life and how they sometimes led to something better.
