Managing Your E3 (Education, Expectations and Emotions) In Designing and Building Your Career, Your Business, and Your Financial Future

It’s a stone-cold fact for all of us regarding our life and legacy planning, that our “choices have consequences, and our decisions/indecisions determine our direction and the quality of our future outcomes.”

We are here to submit that perhaps one of the most important steps in achieving your long-term goals, whether financial or otherwise, with confidence and peace of mind will be rooted more in your capacity to harness and control your mental and emotional “filters, fears and feelings” in your decision-making practices and process.

In this webinar we will share the importance and break down the method of taking a true and authentic self-inventory of your current behavioral patterns when it comes to our own life and legacy planning. This includes our career choices, strategic business decisions, leadership and management styles, and investment and retirement planning as well as aligning it all with our desire to make a positive impact on those around us.

Key Retirement Planning Strategies for Architects and Firm Owners

“RETIREMENT PLANNING IS LIKE A GAME OF CHESS”: Key Retirement Planning Strategies, Lessons, and Moves for Architects and Architectural Firm Owners to Help Build and Achieve a Life-long Winning Retirement Game Plan for Themselves and Their Families.

Author Allan Rufus once said, “Life is like a game of chess. To win you have to make a move.” As this is true in chess, so it is also true in life and in creating and achieving a winning financial and retirement plan for yourself, your family and business if you are a principal owner.

But in an increasingly changing world, how do we know what moves to make? Our current times have been labeled as the “4th Industrial Revolution.” This “revolution” is being described as one that will usher in incredible changes in the way we work and the way we view work. How will this effect your industry, your investment choices, and your personal retirement planning?

This webinar presentation will include relevant historical evidence and solution-based strategies to help solve the complex issues of investment, tax, and legacy planning for you and your family. The goal of presentation is to share some insight into how to better prepare for these potential changes and address what specific moves it takes for you to build, implement and maintain a solid, comprehensive retirement and legacy plan that is adaptable, preemptive, and well positioned for success given your unique situation.
