Soundbites

“In my experience, every financial planner, and this was certainly true for me, needs a trusted mortgage professional that they have confidence in because this is let's be honest, the largest transaction their clients will ever have, and they don't want to hand them off to anybody. And so having that relationship is key.” — Rob West

“focus on only what you can do and where you can add the most value to your business and still be able to win at work and succeed at life. A lot of people will do one and forsake the other. I believe you can do both.” — Rob West

“It can have a tendency to become the end. Right? Money is the aim. It's no longer the tool to accomplish what I believe I'm supposed to accomplish. And when it becomes the end in and of itself, which is not its proper role, it has a grip on our lives that can be really unhealthy. And generosity, the act of holding it loosely, and giving generously to participate in the lives of helping others just brings not only incredible joy but also it loosens the grip of money over your life so you can live with freedom and contentment and joy.” — Rob West
