Why It Matters

The chance of a lifetime. Dan Fogelberg's iconic 'Run for the Roses' comes to mind today as the Kentucky Derby's legacy continues for the 150th year. Breeding and training give a colt most of what it needs to compete and succeed. But it's also something unknown. The fire of a mare and the strength of a stud can't be taught to a colt. A thoroughbred either has it or it doesn't. • You can develop these things though. If your why is big enough, you'll find the fire and strength to pursue what you want. Horses can't know what lies ahead. • But as a human, you are able to have goals, make plans to achieve them, and actively take steps to achieve big things. Your moment is at hand. Find your chance of a lifetime. And run for the roses. 🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎 Adding clarity to your life with money. Retirement • Cash Flow • Net Worth • Estate • Education • Asset management • Risk management • Multigenerational • Morganization • Collaboration • What's next? Be ready!

Horses: Judging Skilled Riding By Looking at the Horses While this is not always foolproof and there are certainly moments in time that may look not good, if you watch horses being ridden, you can get a good sense of how they are managing on a physical, mental and emotional level. If you look at the photos here in this montage you will, hopefully, see which ones are more likely to be properly prepared for what they are being asked to do. Learning to see these signs so that you can pick your role models carefully is essential in this industry, where winning is mostly NOT judged with this consideration. Being a horseperson should surely require that the horse does not suffer due to our actions, and that we should be sufficiently aware and educated to evaluate. Defining a skilled rider from an ethical perspective is something that we have done in one of our prior online conferences.
