Change is happening at an unbelievable pace, and few industries are experiencing change as much as financial services. Leaders need to be equipped to navigate this change in order to get results and help others adapt to the future. Having coached and trained thousands of leaders, advisors and staff in financial services I have had the privilege to be exposed to some of the most impressive thinkers and implementers in the industry. Rick Capozzi ranks as one of the best. His book The Growth Mindset has never been needed more than it is today. The challenges are big for the future and that means so are the opportunities. Leaders who study this book will be able to help themselves and others flourish in an environment where many others will flounder. In the end, if leaders find these opportunities and help others navigate them well, then the clients will be the ones who benefit the most. And that is the most noble calling of this business.

The Chinese proverb says to know the road ahead, ask those coming back. Elite Financial Advisors did not become successful by accident. They all found someone with greater wisdom and greater experience to guide them to the top. Regardless of one’s tenure and accomplishments, every advisor needs a mentor. I have known Rick Capozzi for many years and I consider him to be one of the best, if not the best, mentor in our industry. It doesn’t matter if you are new and fighting to establish your credentials or if you are a top quintile advisor striving for greater heights, you need Rick as a mentor and the mentorship begins right here, with The Growth Mindset.
