Be humble enough to admit when you don't know something and seek guidance from mentors.As a plan committee member, take ownership of the responsibility and handle the plan as if it were your own account. By following insights from industry experts, you can navigate the challenging but rewarding world of 401k plans with confidence and success.“I would encourage young people to become an expert in everything as it relates to not only retirement plans but also benefits. If you know their benefits, if you know social security, if you know Medicare, you can bring a lot to the table when you develop those relationships and have those value adds going forward.” - Bryan EnglandConnect with Bryan England and Eric Morrison:Website: https://www.sundvold.com/ Eric’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eric-morrison-8076608/ Connect with Eric Dyson: Website: https://90northllc.com/Phone: 940-248-4800Email: [email protected] LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/401kguy/ The information contained herein is general in nature and is provided solely for educational and informational purposes.It is not intended to provide a specific recommendation of any type of product or service discussed in this presentation or to provide any warranties, financial advice or legal advice.The specific facts and circumstance of all qualified plans can vary and the information contained in this podcast may or may not apply to your individual circumstances or to your plan or client plan specific circumstances.
