I think one of the main traits that I need in my business is being able to listen to what my clients are saying.  Most of my clients are entrusting me with their life savings and they expect me to follow their wants and needs to reach their goals.  Maybe, they want to retire with $1Million in savings, maybe they want to leave a big inheritance to their kids or save for their college education.  Being able to listen and understand what  they really want, helps to make me good at what I do.
