\n<\/p>\n

As financial advisors, we are no stranger to the incredible benefits of long-term compounding. From the fact that a future retiree can save $1M by ‘just’ saving $300\/month and investing it into a diversified growth portfolio that can grow at 8% annual for 40 years from age 25 to 65. To the illustration in James Clear’s “Atomic Habits” book that improving a mere 1% per day in what you do can cumulatively compound to a 37X(!) increase in results over the span of a year (or a mere 12X increase if you only improve on working days 😊).<\/p>\n

From the business perspective, we (as many organizations) embrace this at Kitces.com by always looking for opportunities to make incremental “1% better” improvements to what we deliver<\/strong> to the financial advicer community, the platform that we’ve built to <\/em>deliver it, and how we operate the business internally. With the caveat that, particularly in an era where AI can expedite the building of almost anything, the biggest question is not whether improvements can be achieved, but which <\/em>improvements in particular are most important to focus on first.<\/p>\n

And so every year, we ask you – our readers – to take a brief survey and provide your feedback about what you <\/em>want to make this website even better for you<\/a>, <\/strong>to ensure we stay on the right track in adding value to the financial planning community and pursuing our mission to make financial advicers better and more successful. And especially after the amount of change over the past few years, from expanding with our new “Financial Advisor Technician” podcasts (and creating a new industry-wide “Best Advisor Podcasts” list), to building an Advisor Services Map to complement our popular AdvisorTech Map, to the expansion of our Annual Tax CE Intensive to pair with our Annual (IAR) Ethics CE Day and most recently the rollout of our new “Level Up” case-study-based training program for newer advisors… we’re more eager than ever for your feedback<\/strong> about how we’re doing, where we can improve, your thoughts about some new ideas we’re considering, and your feedback about what else we could be doing to help the advicer community.<\/p>\n

Because we really do take your feedback seriously. Over the years, Nerd’s Eye View reader feedback has shaped everything<\/strong> from the visual design of the blog (from its original dense small font!), to the ongoing expansion of our Members section from offering CFP to now CPE credits for CPAs and IAR CE for RIAs that can be earned by reading Nerd’s Eye View blog articles (and now listening to the Financial Advisor Technician podcast!), the launch of the Financial Advisor Success and Kitces & Carl podcasts, our popular “Master List” of all the major Financial Advisor conferences and Best Books for Advisors, and now the coming design refresh of our Nerd’s Eye View blog later this year.<\/p>\n

So regardless of what kind of reader you are<\/strong>: an advisor or someone who works in an advisory firm home office, an individual consumer who reads this blog for your own benefit, a CPA, attorney, or another related professional that works with financial advisors, or you’re associated with a vendor who serves advisors… I hope you’ll participate in this year’s survey.<\/strong> It’s only 12 feedback questions, should take no more than a few minutes<\/strong>, and will remain open until the end of next week.<\/p>\n

Thanks in advance for taking a few minutes to click through on the “Read More” link below to access our reader survey, and sharing your feedback! \ud83d\ude42<\/strong>Read More…<\/a><\/p>\n
