The fastest way into downtown from Wayzata is typically 394, but what if less than 1% of the population took that route? Wouldn’t that be crazy? The other 99% still commuting on side roads, bumper to bumper, dealing with construction and accidents, nothing but a waste of gas, breaks and honks…Oh my!
Risk Does Not Always = Reward

If you ask my family, friends or neighbors about me you might hear that I’m a risk taker. I love to shoot down a single track on a mountain bike, tear through a NASTAR course on skis, or jump my old school BMX bike off our dock.
However, when it comes to investing, risk just isn’t my idea of fun. Maybe it’s because I work way too hard and don’t want to see my money disappear. Maybe I feel a responsibility to my family. Or maybe I just can’t get past the math.

Why You May Need a Financial Advisor And How to Find a Great One
The following information has been taken from the book: “The Roaring 2000s Investor • Strategies for the life you want” by Harry S. Dent, Jr.
IN ALL OF MY BOOKS on investment, I have talked about the importance of having a competent and objective financial advisor. That mean someone who represents you, not the investment products. In other words, not a salesperson. That means someone who can integrate your entire financial-planning process, effectively and efficiently, to meet your highest life goals. Before you consider whether you should be investing on your own through a discount broker or using one of many financial advisors, from insurance agents to stockbrokers to financial planners to CPAs to tax attorneys, ask yourself these questions. This may be a bit painful, but it should prove very useful if you will just stick with me for a few pages.
How Many Clients Does Your Advisor Work With?

Even the terminology at those firms is interesting. Producer implies that you are creating something…in this case it’s revenue from selling products and services to your clients. One specific paragraph really resonated with me and reminded me why it was so important to leave that environment.”
