Advisers, planners should know their worth
The day-to-day compliance and operational challenges that modern financial advice practices have to overcome can make it difficult for financial advisers and financial planners to appreciate their true worth. Worth is defined by Oxford Languages as ‘the level at which someone or something deserves to be valued or rated’. Many make the mistake of aligning worth with remuneration; but in the financial advice context, it makes more sense to think of your worth in terms of the value you add to society through the activity of financial advising.
