   Creative Destruction 

 Dan Sullivan shares his latest strategies to help financial advisors thrive amid the turmoil in their industry.

Creative destruction is the process by which old, obsolete economic structures are demolished, while new ones evolve which create more value. This force is constantly at work in the marketplace, and the financial services industry in particular is feeling its effects at present, suffering from a crisis of confidence and capability.  At this point in history, financial advisors have a unique opportunity to evolve their businesses and take advantage of these industry changes. It’s a scary proposition for many who’d like things to stay the same. But things will never be the same. Creative destruction is here. Those agents who become industry transformers can experience an unlimited amount of success, and do more for their clients in the process — and this series will show you how.

“Creative Destruction” is a new approach for financial advisors that shows you how to look at the financial services industry — and your career in it — over the next 25 year  The financial services industry is in turmoil. With constricting regulations, industry scandals, and decreases in fees and commissions, many advisors are frustrated and uncertain about their futures. What this industry is facing — like many industries today — is creative destruction, a process by which market economies evolve, demolishing the old in favor of the new. Smart advisors can use this as an opportunity to transform their personal approach to make creative destruction work for them in a way that bureaucracies no longer can.

In this quarterly series, Dan Sullivan uses his intimate knowledge of the financial services industry to outline a game plan for the future to help financial advisors reach unlimited prosperity.  TM & © 2002, The Strategic Coach Inc.  All rights reserved.  Used with permission.   Source material by Dan Sullivan
