Most people assume hiring an advisor—financial, academic, business, life, or otherwise—means instant clarity, flawless communication, and magical results delivered in a tidy little package. But anyone who’s had an advisor knows the truth: even the smartest professionals sometimes need a nudge, a reminder, or a well-timed reality check to keep them on track.
