TheLiveBigWay® Digest: Learn Big
Dear Readers,
Moments like this are exactly when our values system, the focus of our Values Volumes, matters most. This week, we’ve observed markets moving dramatically (in both directions) while digesting new information since Election Day.
It’s natural to feel a pull to react. Your plan, however, was proactively built around your values and your Live Big® goals, and was designed with weeks like this in mind. We’ll talk through what we’re seeing at our webinar on Tuesday – register to join us here.
In the meantime, this edition of the Values Volumes takes a closer look at what actually drives our behaviors and decisions, exploring a value that helps us respond with curiosity rather than reaction:
Learn Big
When our team gathered at our 2014 retreat to start putting our values into words, “learning” and “growth” each appeared seven times on a chalkboard of sticky notes. Curiosity has been woven into how YeskeBuie operates since long before it had a name, and it all traces back to one simple belief:
We believe learning fuels potential.
Our team brings deep expertise and advanced education to every recommendation we share with you, and we pair that knowledge with a simple understanding: there is always more to learn. Learn Big shows up in shared reading and team discussions, conferences and study groups, graduate degrees and professional designations, mentorship and onboarding, and the articles, panels, and publications where we share what we know.
Every book discussed, every session attended, and every exam passed comes back to the same place: YOU. When tax law shifts, a new planning strategy emerges, or fresh research challenges an old assumption, our team is already learning about it.
The full Values Volume explores our Learn Big philosophy even further. We hope you’ll spend a few minutes reading it to find out what it means to be a sponge around our offices, why we refuse to put a cap on learning, and how every bit of it comes back to you.
We’d love for you to Learn Big right alongside us. If something has sparked your curiosity, whether it is a headline, a planning question, or an idea you have been turning over, bring it to your Financial Planning Team. Some of our best learning begins with your questions.
Take care,
The YeskeBuie Team
