Financial Detox® Show

Show Description: Jason and Alex started off the show by saying that we are not going to execute on any investment strategy or implement a philosophy unless they have a substantial amount of data to back this up. They discussed how too many investors implement an investment strategy that is driven and based off emotions, feelings, and news headlines. In an environment like we are in currently with so much uncertainty in the market, the global economy, and from an everyday life standpoint, it is easy to get wrapped up in the rapidly changing news headlines and get uneasy.Jason talked about how one of the most repeated questions that he gets from clients is “what should we do now?”. He discussed how the answer to that question never changes no matter what is going on in the world around us. People should make sure that their financial plan is comprehensive in nature with specific goals being on track, and they have a solid, diversified investment strategy in place to accomplish those goals and ride through periods of volatility and uncertainty. Jason explained how the real question people should be asking themselves is if they should hire an adviser or not. They talked about how the market has continued to go up and for a lot of individuals it seems like it is easy to make a ton of money in the stock market, when this IS NOT the case over longer periods of time. They invited listeners to send their questions to jason@financialdetox.com or call 877-707-8889, and they will send them the Investor Behavior Study. Also, we will conduct an initial complimentary discovery meeting to answer some initial questions, find out about IDA’s comprehensive range of services, and establish if there is a good mutual fit to accomplish their goals and objectives. They also discussed how IDA is looking to grow and has a core mission of helping as many people as possible while not letting the level of service and experience dip for existing clients. Jason did a great job comparing a story of his son saying something he should not have to a classmate and not wanting to admit it was inappropriate to a client not wanting to admit they made an emotional investment decision based on emotions or outside influences when they should not have been reactive. One of the hardest things in life is admitting that you don’t know something, or you need help with something. Our team is able to provide individuals with so much financial peace of mind when they are fully able to let go and allow us to guide them down a path to a prosperous investment experience. They explained how it will not always be smooth, but it will ultimately be successful if we stay true to an investment philosophy and a strategic process.Jason and Alex finished by talking about a client that is still suffering from the trauma of selling at the bottom back in 2008, and how it has taken years of coaching to get him back on track. The ultimate purpose of Financial Detox is to detoxify people from toxic financial guidance or news.In this show you will learn about:- Why should you hire an adviser?- How to achieve a successful investment outcome.- The importance of behavioral coaching.- The road to a peaceful investment journey.
