By allocating assets into advisory accounts, safe assets like CDs and annuities, and alternative investments such as real estate or preferred stock, investors can diversify their portfolio and reduce overall risk exposure. Michael highlights the significance of long-term financial planning that addresses various aspects like income, taxes, healthcare, investments, and legacy planning. Tailoring strategies to individual client needs, especially those near or in retirement, is crucial for ensuring financial stability and security. Michael stresses the importance of understanding clients' emotional responses to financial decisions and guiding them towards making informed choices that align with their goals and values.   Connect with Michael: Website: https://lfpfinancial.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lfpfinancialwpb/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/legacy-financial-partners/ Connect with Roger: Website:  https://www.sterlingfoundations.com Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/sterlingfoundations/ Twitter:  https://x.com/SterlingFndMgt?mx=2 LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/company/sterling-foundation-management-llc/     Learn more about your ad choices.
