One of the most important aspects of achieving our financial goals is having a clear vision of what you want to accomplish. And just like a travel journey, without a clear goal, it is easy to get distracted, lose motivation, and make poor decisions.

However, setting a goal is not enough. You also need to have a plan that outlines the steps you need to take, the resources you need to use, and the challenges you need to overcome. 

In this episode, Peter Raskin uses traveling as a metaphor for goal setting and financial planning. He emphasizes the importance of setting clear financial goals and developing unique strategies for each goal. Additionally, he explains the importance of diversifying investments across different sectors to manage market risk and the role of a financial planner when navigating the financial journey.

Peter discusses:

  • Why different financial goals require different investment strategies 
  • How 30% of the market value of the S&P 500 is invested in just ten mega tech stocks, emphasizing the importance of diversification
  • The concept of meaningful diversification
  • The importance of risk management and reasonable expectations in achieving long-term financial goals
  • The role of a financial planner as a coach, emphasizing the importance of enjoying the journey, making necessary adjustments, and building confidence
  • And more!
