Statistics show that more than 80% of web surfers perform at least a web search in a week. Another aspect that was revealed by the study is that among those 80%, only less than 20% of the searchers go beyond the page three of search results. What does that convey?

When I'm traveling to someplace new, I like to get directions beforehand. Sure there's something to be said for the proverbial "scenic routes" and "roads less traveled," but, as Yogi Berra noted, "You've got to be very careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there."A business plan serves a similar purpose. It's like MapQuest®, except that you choose both the destination and the route you want to take. And, like MapQuest®, it needn't be overly detailed, drawn in pretty colors, or able to fit in
Simply put, how will this advisor manage your money? Once your money is invested, will they passively manage, only reviewing your account once or twice a year? Or will they actively manage it, having systems in place to constantly monitor each investment and make changes whenever necessary to protect your money, minimize your losses and maximize your returns?
Let me explain by using the analogy of a garden. Imagine paying someone to plant your garden and manage the harvest. A ‘passive’ gardener would plant seeds for you, but once they’re in the ground, they’d move on to plant their next customer’s garden without doing much to maintain yours. They wouldn’t bother pulling weeds, thinning out less desirable plants, watering or fertilizing. Changes in the weather, such as a late frost or summer drought, would pass with little concern on their part. Passively tended gardens place your harvest at risk and may not provide enough to last through the winter.

In any presentation which you have to give, you must always expect to answer questions. Do not fear answering questions because this gives you the opportunity to clarify your points made, strengthen your arguments and in the process enhance your credibility.Here are 7 rules to keep in mind when dealing with questions:1.

During a dry season plants would be well watered. If a crop turned out to be a disappointment, they’d quickly be replaced.

Any gardener knows that a well tended garden results in less loss and a bountiful harvest. When your garden is being ‘actively’ tended, you can sleep at night, knowing your harvest is less likely to result in your going hungry in the coming winter.
Those of you who are avid gardeners wouldn’t dream of being ‘passive’ with your treasured plot of earth. But unlike the relaxation associated with ‘active’ gardening, ‘actively’ managing your finances would be a stressful do-it-yourself job.
When it comes to financial advisors, probably 90% are ‘passive’ gardeners; especially those recommending Equity-Indexed Annuities and Variable Annuities. After ‘planting’ your money in high-commission products, they move on to ‘plant’ someone else. They might look at your account once or twice a year, unless you have new money that needs to be ‘planted’. Once all your money is ‘planted,’ they lose interest.
When the market or the economy turns sour, they stick to their buy and hold strategy, telling you to hang in there. They’ve made their money, what’s it matter to them if your investments take a
