* growing as the market changes

* hanging on to clients for the long term

* succession planning when the time comes

This comprehensive resource provides sample forms, worksheets,
templates, letters, brochures, and collateral materials developed

From keeping the business running well by designing dynamic
collateral material, to considering plans for retirement, Deena B.
Katz guides advisers through every challenge a financial
planning business will face.
