What if instead of having to live your one life one day at a time, you could sample every life you could possibly have? Would you be happier? Would you find “the one?” The life in which everything fits?  We don't have a problem owning our smaller decisions, because the consequences are limited.   But bigger decisions can be harder to own, to find peace with them. Hard decisions are hard not because of our ignorance but because the best choice is not always obvious. Our values, our commitments, and our beliefs in large part are what determine the best decision in a hard decision.  In this session, we explore: Misconceptions about decisionsThe importance of self-awareness and acceptanceThe virtue of decision-making prudenceThe art of decision-making; the right outlook; space to reflect; owning your reality; aligning with your core values; taking adviceThe pitfalls in decision-making; control v let go; the difference between goals and outcomes; embrace the suffering; no such thing as perfect; Facing the consequences of a decision; God doesn't ask for success but loveResourcesThe Midnight Library, Matt HaigDecisive: How to Make Better Decisions, Chip and Dan HeathHow to Make Hard Choices, Ruth ChangThe Paradox of Choice, Barry SchwartzVery Human, Very Divine (VI): Prudence in Action, José Brage------------Hearts + Minds Official website - hearts-minds.ieIG - @heartsandmindsireFB - Hearts+Minds | FacebookEmail: hello@hearts-minds.ieHearts+Minds events in Dublin, Belfast, Cork, Galway and Navan

How do you make your money? Does your business have morals? The world is changing, says Alison Taylor, Clinical Professor at NYU Stern School of Business and Executive Director at Ethical Systems. People care, consumers care, employees care, everyone has started caring more. And if you want to futureproof your organization, you need to put morals back into it. It's not about how much money a company makes now, it's about how you make your money, and who wins and who loses while you're doing that. A company needs to grow and make profit to survive, says Alison, that is not a debatable point. Just as human beings need a beating heart to survive. But a human being does not exist solely to be a vehicle for its beating heart, in the same way your company can no longer solely make profit to survive, you need to find another reason to exist.

About Meredith Louden: Formerly an insomniac, Meredith Louden created the Sleep Success Method, which helps high-achieving people fall asleep in just 5-10 minutes with no sleeping pills, supplements, or trendy sleep aids. In this episode, Adam and Meredith discuss:How stress is linked to sleep problemsThe basic sleep adviceThe importance of putting your phone away at nightHow to sleep more than you normally do Key Takeaways:Stress is highly linked to sleeping problems, and there is so much more stress in the world as a result of the pandemic. More stress basically means less sleep, so you should focus on stress management techniques rather than taking pills or drinks just for the sake of falling asleep.Getting a good night's sleep involves calming your nervous system two hours before bed, putting your phone away from you, avoiding anything that will trigger any sort of negative emotional reaction, and stopping working at least two hours before bed. Focus on yourself and your inner world.Simple notifications from your phone can reactivate your stress response and ruin your bedtime. Don't let your phone distract you at night by putting it on Do Not Disturb or hiding it.Reduce the grip that your sleep rules have on you, avoid distractions like watching TV shows and smartphones before bedtime, and take a nap when you can. "When you sleep better, you feel better and all areas of your life really can improve once you get your sleep back on track.” – Meredith Louden  Connect with Meredith Louden:Website: https://www.meredithlouden.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sleepsuccessmethodInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/meredithloudenYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/meredithloudenTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@meredithlouden Connect With Adam Weber:Website: https://meditationnotmedicine.com/about/Email: adam@meditationnotmedicine.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/easytomeditate Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meditationnotmedicine/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPnbji9rDrCfxhY0W8sHL9ABook: Meditation Not Medicine  Show Notes by Podcastologist: Angelica Rayco Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

This week, I'm interviewing Dennis Roberts, a psychologist with the Paris Psychology Center who moved to France in August 2021 from Chicago with his spouse and two big dogs. He's certified in the UK and 5 US states, and in the process of working on his Profession Libérale visa application, he used Foolproof French Visas as a guide, and also went through the process of becoming a certified psychologue in France with an ADELI number to treat patients through the French healthcare system. He now serves the English speaking community in Paris and would like to encourage other English-speaking licensed psychologists to take the leap as well. We discuss:The “joke that he took to far” that motivated him to move to ParisHis experience applying for a visa during the COVID pandemic and how using Foolproof French Visas paid off during the visa application processThe process of having his doctorate of psychology recognized in France in order to practice in FranceThe different types of counseling and degrees recognized in France, from psychologue to psychotherapeute to psychopracticien The difficulties and mental health challenges people can face when they move abroad or are adjusting to life here, and how it can be helpful to discuss these things with professionals who know what's normal and can guide you through themThe types of help Dennis sought out from experienced professionals through reading Foolproof French Visas and also through connecting to other English-speaking psychologists in France who could give adviceThe mindset to adopt while observing different cultural practices and getting used to how things work differently in FranceThe rare opportunity to change and grow as a person that moving abroad and learning a new language can bring.How it's normal to want to integrate but to also want to have comforts from home.And more…If you are considering moving to France like Dennis, Foolproof French Visas can help you navigate the path toward finding the right visa for you.

If you're running a business these days, it's pretty much standard that you'll do some kind of social media marketing.But the unfortunate truth is that most small business owners don't have any real strategy for their social marketing. They're just randomly posting content or trying to copy their competitors.The end result? They don't see any impact on their bottom line and it becomes a massive waste of time.Today, I'm going to share the process that I use to develop our social media strategy every year, which has grown our audience to over one million followers. It's also the strategy we teach inside Startup Society, that helps members develop social media strategies for their businesses.Listen to the full episode to hear:The two biggest mistakes people make when they're creating a social media strategy for the first timeWhy you need to get as specific as possible with your goals for your social media presenceWhy you should review the actual data on your past and current posts' performance rather than relying on your own impressionsWhy going to the platform where your customers are isn't necessarily the best adviceThe two systems you need to stay consistent with your strategyLearn more about Gillian:Small Business 101Startup SocietyGet on the waitlist for VALIDATEProfit Planning ChallengeGet in touch!Instagram: @GillianZPerkins

PFC106 - Stop SpinningDo you think that making $120,000 to $150,000 a year as a coach is too much? I used to think that myself. Through the years, I've learned that earning six figures in your coaching business doesn't have to be difficult—and many coaches are actually close to earning six figures annually, charging clients at least $1,500 per month. Unfortunately, several factors prevent many coaches from realizing that having a profitable coaching practice is easy and well within their reach. In this episode, I discuss the top three reasons many coaches struggle to make $120,000 to $150,000 a year and how close every coach actually is to getting there. I reveal what they fail to teach in many coaching certification or training programs. I also underscore the power of working directly with a coach and highlight the role of mindset in developing a profitable coaching business.“You can absolutely be making up to $20,000 a month within the next six to 12 months—or even faster. You just need someone to show you the next steps, and you need to believe that it's doable.” - Jos WillardThis week on Profit for Coaches:The downside of coaching certification and training programsThe mindset needed to charge clients $1,500 a month as a coachWhy you need to stop chasing free webinars or adviceThe advantage of working one-on-one with a coach over buying a DIY programThe FREE profitable practice scorecard!Our Favorite Quotes:“If you don't see that level of value in paying $1,500 a month to work with a coach to help you be successful in your career, relationships, and health, it'll be hard for other people to see you being worth that much investment.” - Jos Willard“There's no one-size-fits-all way for everybody. That's why working with a coach who's going to interact with you—rather than just buying a DIY program–-is a better way to go.” - Jos Willard“You're better off working with somebody who has read all the books, taken all the programs, done all the digging, and knows how to apply those things in varying situations.” - Jos WillardHelping Coaches Increase ProfitsThanks for tuning into this week's episode of Profit for Coaches.

Often, when you're afraid of something, the best advice is deeply counterintuitive, not to mention inconvenient: to turn toward the source of your fear.Today we're going to talk about the fear of confronting your own past with our guest Sarah Polley. Polley is an Oscar nominated filmmaker and actress who recently wrote a new book, called Run Towards the Danger: Confrontations with a Body of Memory. In her book, she explores the relationship between her past and present and how the two are in constant dialogue. In this episode we talk about: The story of her concussion and the unusual advice she got from a specialist that became not just a path to recovery, but a sort of personal credo, “run toward the danger”What we often do with our stories of childhood shame, and the immense power of talking about itHow she has come to stop seeing her anxiety as a stop signHer argument that the advice to “listen to your body” is not always the best adviceThe liberating potential of intentionally making uncharacteristic decisionsHer path to meditation and her current practiceAnd the limits of her own “run towards the danger” mantraFull Shownotes: https://www.tenpercent.com/podcast-episode/sarah-polley-475See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Tamara K. Anderson interviews her children and husband on the Stories of Hope in Hard Times podcast. They talk about how their lives have been changed for the better because of two sons with autism. Lessons, advice, tips and love shared.The Anderson Family: One Family’s Perspective on AutismAnderson family BioJustin (old) according to the kids. Husband to Tamara for 22 and a half years, and father to four amazing children.Jordan, age 21. College student majoring in Elementary Education. One of my typical kids.Nathan, age 20. Mostly non-verbal kiddo on the autism spectrum. We talk about Nathan on our podcast, but he doesn’t comment (mostly because he would just echo back whatever we said).Jacob, age 16. Jacob is an amazing kid that has high-functioning autism. He just learned to drive last year and is attending high school.Noelle, age 14. Noelle is our only girl and she is an amazing “second mother” to the group of boys. She is also in high school and is my other “typical” child.What was it like to grow up with two brothers on the autism spectrum?Jordan: It was a learning experience. They didn’t grow up doing “normal” activities. He noticed that he couldn’t interact the same with his brothers as other brothers that he saw.  He dreamed of playing catch with his brother or wrestling with his brother, but Nathan didn’t want to do those kinds of social interactions. When Jacob came along he was able to finally grow into doing some of these things as he got older.Jordan explains that he had to learn to interact with Nathan differently. He learned how to show him that he loved him without a reaction.One interesting thing is that Jordan has always been extremely social and he wanted to tackle and interact with Nathan (who didn’t always appreciate that). I often felt when they were little like I was always playing referee. But looking back I realize that was probably the best thing for Nathan, because he had someone constantly inviting him to interact in the “real” world instead of always staying in “autism’s world.”Jordan is not intimidated by children with special needs, and he believes this is one of the blessings of growing up with brothers on the autism spectrum. As he is studying Elementary Education, Jordan looks at each child differently and he knows, he “can work with them.” He concludes he has a baseline because he has two amazing brothers with autism. He feels he has been guided to this major so that he can help children with all different kinds of needs.What is it like to have autism? What goes on inside your mind, and what makes you different from other kids?Jacob: The problem is learning to relate the “autism world” to the real world. “I don’t know what the normal world is like. All my life I’ve been living just being me.”Jacob is now fully integrated into regular high school. He didn’t always used to be able to handle this, but has grown to this point. One thing that is important to explain is that there is this real draw or pull to click over to the autism world in his mind or what we call “Imaginations” in our home.ImaginationsWhen I asked Jacob what he is thinking about when he does his “Imaginations” he answered that it is kind of a wild card. He explains that he can’t just think of one thing because that would be boring. So, he thinks of lots of things, but he can’t always control where his mind wanders. Sometimes he thinks of recent video games he has played, and creating off-stories in his mind. He also likes to imagine what would happen after the end of a book he has just read or the story before the book begins. Basically prequels, sequels and stuff like that.That is one of the cool things about having Jacob in our home is that he often thinks outside the box. When he was little he crafted these amazingly creative Super Jacob-man comic books that were so fun to read. He made the illustrations for them and everything. Jordan remembers having Jacob read him those comic books and helping him create the characters and then just watching the story come alive.Super-PowersI think every child has a super-power. Some of Jacob’s super-powers are learning math or numbers and dates. When he was little we would randomly ask him when people were born or when they died and he would tell us. It was pretty cool. So, this means he does well in history as well. Another of Jacob’s super-powers is music. He can memorize songs much more easily than most kids. Noelle has also noticed how easily Jacob memorizes long classical pieces after only playing through them a few times. She admits she wishes she could do that too:). I think we all do.“Kids with autism and normal kids have their own super-powers. You just have to find them.”NathanNoelle enjoys interacting with Nathan because he is so pure and he isn’t distracted by things in the world. Some of the things that make him happy are “drop pillow” when you drop a pillow on him and tickle him. Jordan adds that doing “Star Wars” where you do the Darth Vader’s breathing and then tickle him. He then laughs with this big gut laugh that is so contagious.Nathan is like a giant 2-3 year old child, but he outweighs all of us and he is taller than all of us, well, maybe Jacob is slightly taller than him now.It is nice that Nathan now has some very simple words or phrases to ask for certain things. He definitely lets you know if there is something that he doesn’t want by saying, “all done,” “no,” or “go home.”A Nathan StoryFor example, recently we took the family to go watch Captain Marvel. This requires a little bit of tricky planning. We always get seats on the very back row of the theater and we always seat Nathan in the corner. This way he can play on his iPad (with the screen turned all the way down) and not distract anyone.Anyway, on the way to the movies he let us know, “No movie. Go home.” We tried simple reasoning (with a little bribery). “First movie, then Walmart?” NO! “First movie, then DI?” (DI is a local thrift store where Nathan likes buying used DVDs). Yes! So, he happily walked into the theater and then I took him to DI afterwards. We didn’t used to be able to reason with him, so it is nice to have hit this point.Changing schedules with these kids is challenging. They do well with visual schedules and so we usually have to write things down to let them know what we are doing. Jacob comments that spontaneous surprises are very hard for him as well, and it bugs him.A Spontaneous Story–And Why that Doesn’t WorkI shared the example of spontaneously buying tickets to go see the Lego movie while my kids were at school. After I picked them up I told them we were going straight to the movie. Jacob freaked out about this saying, “This is not what we do after school. First we go home and have a snack and then we do our homework.” So, basically I had to try to reason with him and help him try to get past the change to even allow us to go. After the movie when I asked him if he liked it he answered, “Yes, but next time we have to follow the schedule.”So, spontaneity with these kiddos is very challenging. Jordan says he is very spontaneous too, so Jacob and Nathan act as a counterbalance for the spontaneousness in our home.This is going to look different in different families and from child to child. So, each family is unique.When I ask the kids how they feel about our family being talked about in my book, Normal for Me, Jordan answers that he is glad that we can share our story and spread more light. It is important for people to get a look at how autism impacts families and how we incorporate God in our family as well.Jordan goes on to say that he hopes this will help people see that children with autism do have super-powers and they have desires and hopes just like typical children.What are some of Nathan’s Super-Powers?Noelle shares that Nathan is really gifted at doing puzzles. Most people take their time with a 500 piece puzzle, but Nathan can crank it out in about 2 hours.Jacob adds that another of Nathan’s super-powers is doing word-searches. He does them on his iPad but he will also crank through an entire word search book in about a day. But he has to circle the words in the order in which they are liste. I have to buy word search books at the 99 cent store because we go through them quite quickly.So, Nathan can see patterns in puzzles and in words and letters more easily than the rest of us. Those are his super-powers.The Kids Favorite Bible VersesNoelle–Psalm 46:10, “Be still and know that I am God.” Noelle likes this verse because it helps us remember that we are in God’s hand and that He can help us, and He knows what we are going through. He is always there.Jordan–Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”Story behind the verseJordan was at a point in his life where things were challenging and this verse taught him that I can’t do this, but if I rely on God, He can pull me through it.” The more we give ourselves to Him the more He can guide us to where He needs us to go. He still feels God prompting him and guiding him even in college.Jordan explains that some people think of God as a puppeteer, but Jordan sees us more as a Pinocchio. We can choose where we want to go, but it is good sometimes to let go and let God guide us.This is often hard to do when God is putting you on a path that you don’t want to go on, like I describe in the Normal for Me book, when my kids were diagnosed on the autism spectrum. Trusting God at those times is hard, but we do learn a lot. One of the phrases I coined at that point in my life is “Two people can do anything if one of them is God.”Jacob–Matthew 5:14-16 “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”To Jacob this means that it is important to share your talents. Going into Junior high this was hard for him because his friends seemed to outgrow his comic books and it became a little harder for him to fit in socially.Social Interaction ChallengesSocial interactions are often more challenging with kiddos on the autism spectrum–and it seems to be more challenging for the higher functioning kids. Lower functioning kids like Nathan don’t really care if they socialize or not, so it has never been a big deal for him. But the older Jacob got the harder it got for him to socialize, know what to say, or how to talk to others.Jacob confesses that sometimes he just can’t think of words to say.Jacob’s AdviceThe advice Jacob would give to parents and other teens is to “be patient” with kids on the autism spectrum. They need love too and are often lonely. Don’t be afraid to help kids with autism out and be a friend.Another tip: Kids on the spectrum are usually pretty honest–there isn’t much of a filter that goes on between what they think and what they say. They will tell you if you do indeed “look fat in that dress” (whether they should or not).Jacob’s Advice to Parents of Teens on the SpectrumHelp your kids practice social things like getting someone’s phone number, asking a friend if they want to hang out, how to text properly.Noelle’s adviceBe nice to kids on the autism spectrum and try not to be super-sarcastic. The reason for this is they often don’t always understand sarcasm. They are sometimes very literal.Jordan chimes in that he likes to think of kids with autism like Drax on Guardians of the Galaxy. Sarcasm goes right over their heads.Final thoughts from Jordan“Be patient with these kids. They are not kids with autism. They are kids with super-powers. Just like in the movies, sometimes the superheroes get attacked.”Jordan has been doing some classroom observations this semester at an elementary school. There is a sweet girl with autism in one of his classes and she has a wonderful aide that is so patient with her. When Jordan asked the aide what got her into this field, she said, “I see potential in all of these kids.”“If we give these kids chances to change the world, they will.” Often that change is in our own world.My final comments: “Having children with autism has changed me for the better.”Interview with my Husband, JustinJustin’s advice for parents of children with autismYou are in for a different life that perhaps you had planned. There will be challenges, but there will also be some really great things as well. Having kids on the spectrum can be something that will bring you closer to your spouse as you let it. It can also help you find a different level of love and patience than you naturally had.Some of the Lessons Learned in Hard TimesDifferent people process diagnosis differently. Justin was more quick to acknowledge there was something wrong with Nathan while I lived in denial for a little longer. I was terrified of an autism diagnosis. Justin was more terrified as he realized life was going to be different.You will go through the stages of grief. There is also anger. I felt anger. Justin felt cheated out of experiences he was going to have with his son. He felt very sad.When expectations have been changed by diagnosis it is hard to envision a clear future.Take things day by day and week by week. Hold on to hope because these kids are amazing!Some of the Things Justin Learned from our Children with Autism1. We are children of God. When Nathan has had hard times and we have had to just hold him and pray, God has opened Justin’s mind to see what a special person Nathan really is. There is a big, strong, manly and faithful spirit inside of his body and his disability simply impairs his mind, but it is not who he is.2. Knowing who your child really is as a son or daughter of God, helps you to have a different level of patience, love, kindness and understanding. This is who they will be forever.3. These kids are not their disabilities.4. Pray for this gift from God to see your child from a more eternal perspective.“Heaven is close when you are on your knees in a really hard spot.”Another lesson: Be Willing to Try New Things and Support your SpouseI was the more aggressive in wanting to try new things with Nathan. Justin was supportive. Sometimes we found things that worked, and other times we ruled out things that didn’t work.Advice for Dads Ask what you can do to help and keep on trying. The work you are doing is so important and needs a father’s strength and support to accomplish it. This is not a one-person job. If you aren’t pulling your weight, then it is time to step up and be a man. This means talking, listening, offering support, and doing things with your child that are different from what you expected.Help your spouse. They need someone to talk to.Justin subscribes to a Google wordsearch for “autism” each day. This pulls up any articles that come up on autism.

I will trust and not be afraid: for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.”This verse means that having Jesus Christ in your life is the only way you are going to be able to accomplish anything. It also means that He will give you strength to be the parent of a special needs child who needs your care.“God is strong enough there to help us moment by moment as we learn to parent different children differently.”

Let's talk about that and more right now.Hey, traders, Andrew Mitchem here, the Forex trading coach with video and podcast number 307.Now I've got a really interesting topic to discuss today.How much of your savings should you trade?Now it came back from an email here from a client of mine and we talked about this in quite some depth on my latest live Webinar with my clients that I hold each week and it was all about what should we do with our funds. And basically this guy said, "Should I put my savings and take money out of my bank account and put it into my trading account based on the fact that, we trade a strategy that works and based on the fact that we trade low risk per trade?" What should I do? And he said, "Well, basically, really is there any advantage one way or the other what I do?"The 2 different options for youSo the two scenarios would be one, I take out a funds and additional savings, put it into my Forex account, trade it really low risk. And probably make way more than the bank are ever going to pay me in a year, I'm probably going to make that in a month and that would be very fair pull. The other thing we discussed was, why don't you maybe look at putting half of that money that you would allocate to your Forex account into your account and half leave with the bank where sure, short may be earning very, very low interest rate but also, I suppose you could say it's secure or secure as you can get. So there's two different options. And if you took that second option, of course you could say, let's pick some numbers.Trading exampleLet's say I had $100,000 to try up at $50,000 and with my broker, 50,000 in the bank. And I'm assuming when I trade, I'm trading a 100,000, so I'm doubling up on my normal risk. So you've got a couple of options there and you can play around with the numbers as it suits you.This is a discussion – NOT financial adviceThe important things are this, there's two things really. Number one, I've got to say this is not financial advice. I'm not saying you should go and do this. This was purely a discussion that we had on the live Webinar and I just wanted to share it with you because I think it's something that a lot of people don't give you that normal everyday experience. And this is coming from experience. This is not a suggestions or advice, really important that point. The second point is that I'm assuming that if you're thinking, "Hey Andrew, which way do I go?" That you can actually tradeAnd that's another really important point. The guy that I was talking about, he can trade, he's been in all my course for awhile. He's doing really well, low risk, et cetera. He's not gambling, he's not doing silly things. So there's a couple of assumptions there. I'm assuming that you can trade profitably, consistently and you're taking low risk. So assuming that comes into play, and if you can't do that, then you need to come and see me first of all. But assuming you can then, which way you go?Which is the best choice for you?Well the choice of course is really yours, but just a few things to be aware of, here in New Zealand as a company that I've been using over the last year or so. It's called Halifax and Halifax in Australia had something happened back in around October, November,

According to the ATO, over 70% of people engage the services of a tax agent/accountant. However, according to Blackrock, only 15% of Australians have a relationship with a financial advisor.I believe that many people would benefit from having both. In fact, to crystallise the most value it is imperative that they have a close working relationship. To make my point, I would like to share some real-life stories about how integrated financial advice and tax advice can be and the value created when the approach is seamless.I believe that lots of people are missing a lot of financial opportunities simply because they don’t have the right advisors. This is such an easy problem to solve. The key point of this blog is that tax and financial planning are so heavily interrelated and if not looked after properly, many opportunities could be missed.Real-life storiesI could list all the pros and cons of having an advisory team that can provide both financial and tax advice, but I think that is both boring and relatively unconvincing. Instead, I have shared some stories below about some clients we have worked with recently. Whilst their financial circumstances are all different, I think they do demonstrate how interlinked tax and financial advice can be.Use of tax lossesI was working on a plan for a new client. He has made some investment in the past that didn’t work out how he had hoped, and as a result had a lot of carried forward tax losses in a unique type of trust (hybrid discretionary trust and not a type we would typically recommend using). Part of the client’s financial plan included investing in shares and I wanted to investigate whether we could somehow utilise these carried forward tax losses.The manager of our tax business was able to quickly review the trust deed, arrange a lawyer to draft documents to change the structure of the trust and confirm we can use the losses. This helped me finalise the plan (share investments will be owned by the trust) and has resulted in a great saving for the client and far less tax compliance risk for the client.Start super pension to save taxWhilst preparing SMSF financial statements for some clients, our accountant noticed that one of the members just had a birthday and as such reached her preservation age. He came and spoke to me and asked if we should therefore convert her account into pension phase as it then attracts a zero tax-rate. Of course, I agreed. A close working relationship, and our strong focus on finding ways to add value, have resulted in a perfect outcome for this client.Structure of investmentsThis client was self-employed and had a company with a reasonable amount of retained profits in it. If we paid the profit out of the company (via declaring a dividend), the client would have paid more tax. Whilst formulating their investment strategy, our accountant and I considered how best to utilise these “trapped” profits. Considering we were going to recommend the client invest in a property, we advised the client to purchase that property as tenants-in-common such that the company owned 20% of the property and the clients owned the rest (in personal names). This allowed the clients to put that money to good use without crystallising additional tax liabilities (and it helped them avoid messy Div. 7A loan compliance issues).Structure of super contributions to ensure you get a tax deductionIf you are self-employed, making super contributions can become messy and if you get it wrong, you might miss out on a tax deduction. Often, from a financial planning viewpoint, we review whether a client should make additional super contributions towards the end of the financial year (i.e. in May/June). If they are self-employed, these contributions could be recorded as personal or employer contributions – depending on whether they are made through an entity (company or trust) or personally. If they are recorded incorrectly, it could compromise their deductibility (as we have seen for some clients). The advantage for us is that we can meet as a team (i.e. both financial advisor and tax advisor) and work out the correct way for our clients to make super contributions so that tax deductions are not compromised.Maximising your borrowing capacityA tax accountant is usually keen to maximise all tax deduction because that will reduce the amount of tax payable by the client. However, this also reduces a client’s borrowing capacity too – and might retard their ability to achieve lifestyle and investment goals.When we act as an accountant and financial planner for a client, we can give the bank written confirmation of expected normalised earnings (income) which they will rely upon when undertaking their borrowing capacity assessment.We were recently helping some clients obtain finance to upgrade their home. However, last financial year they had a few non-reoccurring expenses (tax deductions) which reduced their taxable income. We were able to certify to the bank that their normalised income is actually a lot higher.The more complexity you have, the more you could benefitIf you have a relatively simple financial situation i.e. few investments, no entities (company, trust, SMSF), not self-employed, etc., then you probably don’t have a lot to gain by having your financial advice and tax advice in one place.However, if you do have some complexity then it is likely that you have a lot to gain from having one team look after all your financial affairs.All in one place saves you timeWe are all time-poor and having to see various advisors in various locations, providing the same information and having the same or similar discussions multiple times can be a waste of time. This problem is solved by having all your advisors in the one team. Only one appointment is needed which can be attended by your accountant, financial advisor and mortgage broker (if necessary). During that meeting you can review/address your tax, insurances, financial plan, investment super and mortgages needs in one fell swoop!Nothing slips between the gapsI love it when we look after a client’s tax and financial planning needs because it makes our job a lot easier:- Whilst formulating a strategy, if I have questions that relate to taxation affairs, I can walk over and speak directly to our accountant and we can workshop the issue to identify the best answer. Whilst I’m a registered tax agent too, it is virtually impossible to keep on top of all the tax laws so it’s important to speak directly with someone that lives, breathes and specialises in tax.- When our tax manager works on a financial planning client, he too can come over and speak to me and we can share ideas and thoughts to ensure all actions are congruent with their financial plan and goals. It is important that the right hand knows what the left hand is doing.- If I provide advice to a client as part of a plan (e.g. how to structure and investment), at least I know it will be implemented correctly. I know this sounds a bit control freakish and I acknowledge that there are some very good accountants out there, but there are also some practitioners that don’t have enough knowledge and experience and can unknowingly mess up an otherwise good plan.Most accountants cannot give you financial adviceThe misconception is that accountants can give you simple investment advice such as where to invest your super, whether to make additional super contributions, set up a SMSF and so forth. In fact, they cannot provide any financial advice unless they are authorised under an Australian Financial Services License (AFSL) and most are not. Some accounting firms might have in-house financial advisors but, depending on how they are licensed, they might be restricted on what advice they can give you (e.g. often no property advice).It would be remiss of me to not mention that ProSolution has its own ASFL, Australian Credit License and tax agency registration so there’s very few matters that we are not able advise clients about.Most accountant are focus on the past, not the present or futureOver the past 16 years since starting ProSolution, I cannot recall one time that a client’s accountant has picked up the phone to discuss or understand what a client’s financial plan looks like. Perhaps accountants are just too busy completing tax returns which forces them to focus all their attention toward what has happened in the past. And they probably move onto the next client before they have time to stick their head up and ask any questions about the future. Also, as noted above, most accountants are reluctant to overstep the advice mark for fear of breaking the law and exposing themselves to liability (if they are not licensed) – notwithstanding that they might not have the skill and experience to provide financial advice.Don’t you think it is potentially dangerous for your tax advisor to not know what your plan is?Are you missing out?Have a think about your current advisors, your tax structures and investments. Are you confident that you are making the most of your opportunities?If not, perhaps the best way to remedy the problem is to engage a firm that is able to provide holistic tax and financial advice. Or maybe you need to be the conduit for sharing information and future plans between your advisors – assuming they are all receptive to receiving it.Of course, we welcome the opportunity to have a confidential discussion with you.
