Ohhhh, we're halfway there!!! But are you livin' on a prayer to finish 2026?! Cannot believe we are halfway through the year, it seems like just yesterday we were watching the ball drop, ready for the upcoming bowl games and making those resolutions. And just like that, we are finishing the 2nd quarter and halfway towards the year end goals we have set, which got me thinking... How often should we revisit annual or longer-term goals to have "check-ins", recalibrate or even deprioritize in favor of newer goals, strategies and other pressing items that have come to surface? As a business owner or even on a personal level, when do you schedule the rhythm and find the best cadence to this process? Annually, Semi-annually, quarterly, monthly, daily??? As a team we are meeting Monday to review the first half of 2026, plan for the 2nd half of this year and align. I think the alignment piece will be the biggest difference on the impact we can half over the next 184 days before we celebrate the end of another year and dream BIG for 2027! Please share the cadence you use with others and what has helped you gain alignment to drive the impact. See thrivent.com/social for important disclosure information.

We have begun the FUN project of updating our 1st floor powder room and it got me thinking... There are many correlations from construction to financial advice, maybe that is why Thrivent has created a framework to help clients make the analogy to building your financial house. I have used it often and it seems to resonate with clients but doing some projects around my house got me thinking of how often we do a project or build something then forget about it for a while. Maintenance is crucial to long-term success both as a homeowner and for our financial goals! I remember the first time I heard the saying, "measure twice, cut once." If you have done carpentry on any level, I am sure you have heard that same line. It's important, because should you cut a board too short, you have to start over or use the board somewhere else, taking more time to accomplish the initial goal set out. This is similar to our approach; we take time to measure your goals for a second time. Some clients have been actively working with another advisor, some have been a DIY person, and others have a plan in their head but haven't figured out if it all will work out when needed. Wouldn't it make sense to get a second opinion before you "pull the trigger" and make that big purchase, retire or elect a pension/social security benefit that may not be reversable?? I think so, but it's not a one-time event! Those we serve best prefer and understanding on-going maintenance, remodels and staying connected will serve them best long-term! Full disclosure, we have done a lot of the work ourselves but also have called in experts to help us finish well and complete the project! That is our team to help us bring a fresh look to our dated bathroom project and look forward to sharing the finish product photos in an upcoming post. Stay tuned! How often do you "remodel" your financial house? Have you considered any on-going maintenance when it comes to your financial house? Any other best tips for a homeowner when working on their house with experts and their expertise?
