The Dalai Lama said it best: “Today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it.” For many of us on this planet we have the power to choose happiness over despair, to be the architects of our own destiny. The truly poor souls are those who don't have a choice about their circumstances. We are lucky to be in a business that affords us the opportunity to help those who are less fortunate. The future of the wealth management industry will continue to evolve faster than at any time in past history. The advice business will continue to be a growth business. Our clients are becoming more sophisticated and therefore will demand a trusted, competent advisor who will always put their interests first. Those leaders and advisors who can adapt while also being brilliant in the fundamentals will win more business and shape how the industry evolves. In the end, those who are successful will be those who never stop learning and never lose that curiosity about the world around them.

• Understand what you can control ...
