By Mindy Diamond, WealthManagement.com – It was September 2004 when I wrote my first “Of Myths and Moving” article—a piece designed to help address some of the common concerns that advisors shared when considering a move.

Don’t Let Fear Hold You Back

By Mindy Diamond, WealthManagement.com – When I was 6 years old, my father insisted I was ready to ride my bicycle without training wheels.

Preparing for a Move: Embracing Change While Accepting the Inevitable Differences

By Barbara Herman – It’s human nature to want to protect the status quo— familiarity is reassuring. Comfort level aside, quality advisors still periodically reevaluate where they are. And those who believe they can do substantially better for their clients and teams opt to move elsewhere.

Recruiting Success: What to do when there’s an undeniable gap between the expectations and the offer
