Fund set up in memory of Officer Herndon Officer Tyler Herndon Each morning I walked about three- fourths of a mile to get to my stand. I had cut limbs and bushes out of the way and yet there was one area where I had to navigate around sev- eral tree-laps and weeds. I could have gone another way, but this seemed to be the best direction if I was to leave the smallest footprint. The problem was not ma- neuvering the fallen trees; it was dodging those little cockleburs that attached themselves to my clothes. Every morning, while watching deer, I found myself picking off burr after burr without ever getting them all. One evening, after a hunt, I had the great idea of just putting the infested clothing in the wash and letting an agitator get rid of my agitation. It didn't work. Those little things hung on like a kid at a water park. They say these were the inspiration behind Velcro. I can't help but believe this to be true. When you think about the real reason for these clingers, it is pretty simple to understand. This is the way these nasty weeds spread to other areas. They produce a seed, the cocklebur, and when some animal comes by; the seed attaches itself to the fur and is carried away to another area. The burr is then picked off and left to germinate – if it has attached itself to the right source that is. Other- wise, as I later found out, the seed just remains on the source and ultimately dries up, dies, and then is easily brushed off. The moral of the story? Be careful, what or who, you attach yourself to. As I look toward a new year, I want to be reminded of this lesson. I want to be attached to the things that will help me be the most fruitful. Not that it is all about me, but it's about being all that God made me to be. It's about reaching my full potential. It's about getting the most out of my gifts and talents. And in order to do that, I must continually attach myself to the things God has placed there just for me. Sometimes that means I must say no to really good things in order for me to focus on what I have been called to do. But there is one thing I always need to remember – the goal or the accomplishment is not the end; it is the means to an end. The end is always the people that God puts in my life. My gifts, talents and resources are not meant for my enjoyment, but for my employment. I am to employ them in the lives of people. For without people, I would be like a cocklebur seed that's only along for the ride.

There's an existing misconception that fi nancial advisors are only for the rich, but any- one can benefi t from some guidance in regard to their fi nances. The key is fi nding a planner who understands your needs and is willing to work with you, no matter how big or small your fi nan- cial dreams may be. According to U.S. News and World Report, some fi nancial advisors are no longer interested in working with people without substan- tial portfolios. Certain fi rms have stopped paying com- missions to brokers for ac- counts that are considered small, including customers with assets worth between $100,000 and $500,000. While that can make it dif- fi cult to fi nd fi nancial help, there are ways to receive as- sistance. • Ask friends for recom- mendations. If a fi nancial advisor has worked with a colleague, friend or family member, he or she may also be able to provide services to you. To fi nd profession- als with reputable creden- tials, look for someone who has a Certifi ed Financial Planner or Personal Finan- cial Specialist designation. Those who are relying on investment advisors should work with one who has a Chartered Financial Analyst certifi cate. These credentials are indicative of profi ciency in fi nancial planning. • Look around online. Vari- ous online resources, in- cluding U.S. News & World Report, offer searchable databases. The Garrett Planning Network at gar- rettplanningnetwor k.com offers a map of the United States where users can fi nd fi nancial advisors in their ar- eas who cater to the middle class. • Contact a professional association. The National Association of Personal Fi- nancial Advisors can pro- vide resources for fi nding local fi nancial advisors. Visit www.napfa.org for a listing. Middle-income individuals can look at the Accredited Financial Counselor website at www.afcpe.org to fi nd pro- fessionals. Accredited fi nan- cial counselors often focus on helping low- and middle- income people at affordable prices with relevant fi nancial assistance. • Research compensation. Financial advisors may re- ceive compensation in one of two ways: fee-only and non-fee-only. A fee-only ad- visor typically charges an hourly fee or fl at rate for ser- vices. A non-fee-only advisor may be compensated at a percentage of assets earned or may receive incentives and commissions from their companies based on prees- tablished sales goals or ob- jectives. There are no right and wrong answers to fee schedules, but fi nd a situa- tion that works for you. Some people need help navigating the ropes of fi - nancial planning. Financial planners can help people from all backgrounds estab- lish and achieve their fi nan- cial goals. ShelbyInfo.com In Print AND Online Our ClassiÀ eds Have It!
