The Wealth Pyramid: A Blueprint for Financial Security

• Peace of Mind Foundation: Covering essentials like insurance, estate planning, and asset protection.
• Core Nest Egg: A diversified approach incorporating equities, real estate, private credit, and bonds to preserve and grow wealth.
• Speculative Investments: Identifying high-risk opportunities and ensuring they complement, rather than endanger, overall financial security.

Biggest Financial Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

• Divorce: The single largest financial disruptor, often leading to long-term financial setbacks.
• Underinsurance: Many professionals and business owners are inadequately insured, exposing themselves to unnecessary financial risk.
• Speculative Investing: Without a strong financial foundation, risky investments can lead to significant losses.

What to Look for in a Wealth Advisor

• Pure Fiduciary Duty: Advisors should act in their clients’ best interests 100% of the time.
