Are you being sold or served? Financial Planning vs. Financial Products.

In this episode, we delve into the critical differences between buying a genuine financial plan and being sold a financial product:

• We discuss personal experiences and client stories to illustrate how the financial industry often conflates financial advising with product sales, sometimes to the detriment of consumer interests.
• We also explore the importance of understanding business models, paying directly for advice, and recognizing signs that you may be steered toward products instead of comprehensive planning.
• We wrap up with tips on making informed decisions and resources for further guidance.
