When Results Matter
GUIDANCE AT ITS BEST
Our Motivation
Why you need an advisor is the same reason why someone becomes one
Passion
There is a level of performance - a belief in something greater - that can only be unlocked with passion. This is as true in business as it is in athletics - Passion can't be faked. Passion is easy to recognize, hard to harness and a key ingredient for success. If you are passionate about improving yourself or your business, Rafti Advisors can help.
Wisdom
After accumulating a wealth of knowledge and experiences throughout a career, it would be a shame to park all of that value in the garage. For experience and knowledge to become wisdom - it must be shared - and that's what we do at Rafti Advisors.
Expertise
Developing the expertise to provide prescient counsel requires timing, empathy and the ability to put advice into the proper context. There are many experienced entrepreneurs and advisors, but few have the skill to find the correct analogy or tell the perfect story at the exact right time. Expertise is the combination of experience and skill - Rafti Advisors brings profound expertise to the table.
Honor
A mentor was once asked, "How can I ever repay you for all you've done for me?" His response was the seminal inspiration for Rafti Advisors - "You could never repay me. I don't want you to repay me. When you have the opportunity to help someone as I have helped you... honor our friendship by helping them." Honor sparks courage, encourages selfless action, and inspires cultures that value a greater purpose.
Leadership
Leadership is at the heart of any successful endeavor. Passion brings energy. Wisdom provides guidance. Expertise fosters action. Honor inspires culture. Leadership is the glue that that binds these elements into a vision that people understand, adopt and support. Leadership is not merely a means to align people, motivate action or achieve results; leadership, done well, breeds leaders and sustainable futures. At Rafti Advisors, we provide support for leaders, leadership when necessary and a deep respect for the importance of leadership in our companies, culture and daily lives.
