** Napoleon Hill's Thought for the Day:

------------------------------------------------------------

** Act on your own initiative, be prepared to assume full responsibility for your acts.

------------------------------------------------------------

One of the primary differences between those who achieve great things in their lives and those who manage only to "get by" is that successful people learned early in life that they were responsible for their own actions. No other person can make you successful or keep you from achieving your goals.

Taking the initiative means assuming a leadership role, a position that singles you out for praise – and for criticism. The good leader is one who shares the credit for success with others and assumes full responsibility for failures or temporary setbacks. When you accept responsibility for your actions, you gain the respect of others and are well on the way to creating your own future.

Success is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.

DIVIDEND TIME YEAR END 2020 

It's that time of year to check out estimated Dividends. I started looking at over the last couple months at the trends to get some perspective of the tax burden we will be facing, it's going to be more than 2019, It's Dividend Time ! 

Common  theme I am seeing in communications from our portfolio managers and fund companies,  Q: Why are the estimated distributions relatively high ?

Well, volatility, and many companies have been profitable during the plandemic. So trading creates capital gains dividends, profits create income type dividends. We will see higher dividends this year, depending on your asset class and type of portfolio, 2-4% will not be uncommon in many portfolio's. If you have done a lot of trading or your manager has, expect taxable capital gains, if these are significant, some planning may be in order, or at a bare minimum a resolve to be a happy tax payer, I know a couple who are.  This is brief update, everyone will be different. Just a "Heads Up",  thankfully it's been a good year for peoples investments for the most part. Around the world, it's been a little rough lok at Spain and Russia, US pretty good , Canada not even on the list.  This link I found gives a bit of perspective.

Remember, celebrate dividends, means business was good for the most part, only downside, you will need to share some of them with the government and they need the money, also remember dividends have already had taxes paid on them by the companies owned, so there is some tax advamatges of receiveing income that has been pretaxed, not going into the details, that will be a whole new topic, I will probably find a few articles that explain it so much better than I can. The important thing here is to be aware. 

So, Perhaps will dive a little deeper on this topic going forward.  Search the site at the top right corner for keyword Dividends for other posts in the past and in the future.

Give Energy, Get Energy

If people aren’t paying attention to you, it’s hard to keep your own energy levels high—and keep the class engaged. In an in-person class, you could walk around the room to make connections and get people’s attention. But with everyone on mute, it’s difficult to reclaim energy, feed off it, and put it back into the presentation. You need to give energy to get it back. The class will follow. Here’s how to keep the energy going from start to finish from your computer.

Break the ice. As folks filter in, I engage in light, sometimes funny banter that gets people used to speaking and feeling more comfortable. This starts the class in a welcoming way and helps build a connection.

View your voice as a powerful tool. Your voice conveys your excitement—or lack thereof. My virtual presentation voice has more varied highs and lows. It’s much more demonstrative. When one of my questions gets answered, I give very enthusiastic responses, such as “Boom! That’s right!” or “Fantastic answer!”

Give an incentive for responding. Five seconds of silence in a virtual setting is an eternity. I let trainees know I’m cool with letting the uncomfortable silence go on as long as it needs to. This almost always prompts responses because most people hate silence. If that doesn’t do it, I simplify my questions and suggest answers to keep the responses coming.

Cool Words - Harbinger

Definition

1 : one that initiates a major change : a person or thing that originates or helps open up a new activity, method, or technology : pioneer

2 : something that foreshadows a future event : something that gives an anticipatory sign of what is to come

Did You Know?

When medieval travelers needed lodging for the night, they went looking for a harbinger. As long ago as the 12th century, harbinger was used to mean "one who provides lodging" or "a host," but that meaning is now obsolete. Later on, harbinger was also being used for a person sent ahead of a main party to seek lodgings, often for royalty or a campaigning army, but that old sense has largely been left in the past, too. Those sent ahead would announce the approach of who was following behind, and that's how our modern sense of harbinger (from the Anglo-French herberge, meaning "lodgings") acquired the sense with which we are familiar today, that of something which foretells a future event.

In many ways, "Life's Major Goals" is speaking to future events in your life, the harbinger of the reason we do what we do with our process and vision of providing Omega Stewardship through our Family Office, here at Brock Shores Financial ~ TLR

I am often asked what is Omega Stewardship ® ? 

There is a number of trademarks that I have created since starting the business back in 1988. They represent the idea that we can somehow condense what we do in a few words. The goal is that it helps people understand what we do quickly and to the point. It's an incredible idea to think one can do that, considering everything that we do. This process is certainly not unique to our business, and for business owners, employee's, volunteers of charities etc it's a great process to go through. 

I will tackle each of these as I move forward with the site and explain a little about the history and back story behind some of these words that we use to describe what we do and what we want to see , our vision, mission, and core values.

Omega Stewardship ® is one of the trademarks that I created over the years. It is a process that uses industries best practices and is a mind set of continual improvement. In it's simplest form it describes our process of what we want to accomplish, the value that we want to bring and some of the principals that we want to apply and accomplish  in all our activities of service to our clients at Brock Shores Financial. The three lines below covers the main goals that I feel will help towards the mission of #ImprovingFutures
