We need both art and science in our society. Without art, we have no vision for beauty, joy, or possibilities. But without science, we have no concrete steps to realize our visions or solve problems.
Your financial plan requires both artistic vision and scientific systems. Understanding human behavior and developing clarity about your future goals and dreams—that’s artistry. But your vision won’t be achieved unless you have a plan in place. You have to develop a proven system to get you where you want to go. And that’s where science comes in.
It can be easy to focus solely on the art of planning, on dreaming. But without preparation, your goals will forever be a wish list. Read our article, The Art of Money, to learn more about crafting a financial plan, and why you should work with a trained professional to help you engage in the planning process without losing the beauty of the vision.
