7 Steps for Successful Vision Planning in 2016

Thanksgiving and Black Friday are just around the corner, and it’s that time of the year when Brian begins to reflect on what happened in 2015. In this episode, your Money Guys cover a few tips on Black Friday shopping to kick things off before revealing 7 steps you can take to have a successful 2016.

This is a great episode for anyone joining Brian in feeling nostalgic over how this year has played out. If you’ve found you’re not happy with where you are and want to push past boundaries in 2016, this episode will leave you feeling inspired to take action.

Before we forget, we also want to give a huge thank you to the entire Money Guy family — and if you’re tuning into the show, that means you! 2015 was Brian’s most successful year in his entire professional career, and we feel we owe that largely to our Money Guy listeners.

Last year, Brian asked members of the Money Guy family if they would be interested in the fee-only financial planning services his firm offers, and the response was amazing. Brian and Bo are still accepting clients, so if you need help taking your finances to the next level and want to work one-on-one, be sure to email brian [at] money-guy.com or bo [at] money-guy.com for more information.
