There's a great scene in the movie, "The Karate Kid," where the old instructor, Mr. Miyagi has given a challenge to his student. The young man is to leap from a rock, turning full circle mid-air to land on one foot on another rock. It sounds simple, but is actually very difficult to do. The wise instructor was trying to impart a valuable truth to his student saying, "The key to life is balance."

If your practice is focused on just retirement planning, your workload is full and satisfying, with little downtime. You are probably prosperous as well. Americans who are currently 55 and older represent an immediate, untapped market of accumulated wealth that requires proper management. Over the next 10 years, rollover funds from 401(k) and 403(b) plans, IRAs, pensions, and profit sharing plans will create asset management business not seen before in history.

First things first: what am I doing back here in the "Expert To Expert" section? Well, the very nature of what I do positions me to be an expert at receiving press releases from insurance and financial advisors. And you, as business people who directly benefit from increased exposure in the media are expert at sending me press releases. Lots and lots and lots of press releases.

Did the 1990s cause us to permanently strike the words "bear market" from our vocabulary? Did investors really believe there would not be a major market correction sometime? Why, then, are so many people caught off guard with the major market declines so far this year after an already rocky 2000?

Scrounging through my Funny Stuff file recently, I re-discovered what is arguably the greatest piece of creative marketing copy in the English language: a 1989 ad for the "GFX-100." The parenthetical comments are mine. Otherwise, I didn't change a word. Honest!

We're still the financial advisor's number one advocate.
The guiding principles of our organization-advocacy, education and reputation-are as relevant and essential today as they have been at any time in our history. If NAIFA and its conferences don't continue to champion agent and advisor issues on Capitol Hill, then who will?

Sometimes you meet the most heartwarming characters when you go on a service call.
