Know Your Clients and the Rest Will Follow by Scott West and Mitch Anthony Second Edition Want to create client connections that won't be broken? Scott West and Mitch Anthony spent more than three years studying financial advisors who managed 100 percent of their clients’ assets. What Scott and Mitch found was eye opening: the most successful advisors had mastered an innate ability to get their clients to tell them their stories. When these advisors asked clients about their stories, those clients felt interesting, important—and listened to. As a result, they shared much more than they would have by simply answering questions on a checklist. Advisors gained both an appreciation, and a deeper understanding, for the individual they were working with. The empathetic connection became so powerful that it was next to impossible for any competitor to come between that advisor and their client. The second edition of this perennial favorite includes:- Tools and ideas for starting client conversations
- The use of dialogues to assist you in learning more about your clients
- An approach for integrating your client’s unique circumstances, transitions, and goals into a winning financial plan

Join the tens of thousands of people who have already developed a “new retirementality” mindset and made retirement happen—on their own terms.
In 2000, when Mitch first presented a new way of thinking about retirement, it was novel, and many critics didn't buy into it. Originally written to get the attention of baby boomers, Mitch ended up starting a revolution by showing us that everything we had read about retirement was wrong―we needed a "new retirementality." Fast-forward to today, when most of us are facing a very different retirement: fewer pensions, escalating healthcare costs, and inadequate savings. For many of us, retirement may never happen, or it will take place much later than we expected.
Far from being full of doom and gloom, The New Retirementality, Fifth Edition, offers a message of hope, along with a roadmap for navigating the choppy waters of retirement planning. While most books focus on Return on Investment, Mitch shows us that Return on Life™―living the best life possible with the resources we have―is a more fulfilling and achievable approach. New to this edition:
- The latest research and studies, as well as a discussion of Life-Centered Planning™―a unique approach to financial and retirement planning, focused on individual goals and needs instead of the outmoded one-size-fits-all approach.
- The role of purpose in retirement planning, including the expanding role of work in retirement, and why it can take three or four tries to get retirement right.
- The ROL Index for helping you analyze and reflect on how you are using your money toward improving your life, and worksheets to help you get organized.

The Financial Services Revolution and What it Means to You and Your Clients by Mitch Anthony Over the years, the financial services industry has consistently failed to help its clients deal with some of the most important internal aspects of money such as meaning, emotion, and intention. However, recent events have started to change the "boiler room template" from which this industry was originally cast, and has allowed advisors within it to refocus on building more meaningful relationships with their clients. Today, a major revolution is underway in the financial services industry, and it's based on the idea of understanding what your clients are really asking for: authenticity and integrity. Advisors who embrace this change will prosper in the years ahead, while those who don't will fail, and ultimately become extinct. In From the Boiler Room to the Living Room, Mitch examines where the financial services industry has failed, and what it needs to do to restore trust at both the individual and industry levels. He takes the time to discuss the subtle steps advisors should take to improve client relationships, such as becoming more aware of the emotional significance clients attach to their money and the struggles they face in an attempt to get "more life for their money." Mitch addresses essential issues that could very well affect your clients' lives at critical junctures, including the possibility of disability and the rearrangement of retirement. He also discusses why embracing venture philanthropy, funding single moments, and rethinking one's purpose in life is more important to today's client than net worth or asset allocation. Filled with in-depth insights and expert advice, From the Boiler Room to the Living Room is a must read for any financial advisor or institution intent on adapting to the changing times and forging meaningful, long-term connections with current and future clients.For quantity orders, or orders outside of the U.S., email [email protected]

A Little Book About a Big Idea by Scott West and Mitch Anthony Instead of conversing, we message each other, which leaves us open to misinterpretation—or worse. In conversation, you can hear the inflection; the cadence; the mood. With messaging (including texting), it is far too easy to misread intentions—simply put, too many people don't know how to have a meaningful conversation. Defining Conversations is a book about how to have conversations of substance—the ones that get real results. In this short and entertaining book, Mitch Anthony and Scott West will show you how to understand other points of view, hear both thoughts and feelings on a topic, and comprehend a conversation's significance. They'll introduce you to conversation saboteurs, show you how to identify counterfeit conversations, and reveal the one question that will set you apart. Whether you are an initiator or a respondent in a conversation, once you master a defining conversation, your credibility will rise—as will the quality of people who seek you out. There are issues in business and in life that are too important to be addressed by messaging or texting. The bottom line is that in order to make progress in working with and relating to others, you must understand how to identify and have defining conversations.For quantity orders, or orders outside of the U.S., email [email protected]
