At that point in my career, I had been writing about financial planning daily for 15 years, and Tom was telling me there was a whole other universe that I needed to learn about. I knew that the financial services universe was separated by advisors who specialized in insurance, tax, investment, or financial planning. However, Tom’s words made me see that all of these worlds were drawing closer together and would eventually become one solar system.

http://iimagelibrary1.advisorproducts.com/images/igallery/original/101-200/charts_graphs__1120_-120.jpg

How To Use Advisors4Advisors

Advisors4Advisors (A4A) is different from other websites for advisors because my idea of practice management is showing you how to do stuff.   What's different is that if you search A4A's article archive for touchscreen monitors, TVs, videos, passwords, operating systems, security, and other topics that come up in your business day-to-day dealings, you'll find answers targeted to financial advice professionals.
