But Wait - I Haven't Boomed Yet!

Excerpt from Chapter One of the book, Fire Your Financial Planner:

When I was forty-one years old, I lost more than three million dollars - everything I had. I was looking at my future rushing at me like a freight train, with absolutely nothing financial to show from all the years I had worked in the past. Through the preceding years there were many little lessons that I had learned, but I was so caught up in the moment that I did not take time to reflect seriously on them. I was even blessed with wonderful spiritual mentors and the best of parents, yet I failed to identify a trusted financial mentor.

There are basic financial lessons that are timeless. However, without some wise direction, you are pretty much left to trial and error. You may have learned that a penney saved is a penney earned. But if you don't understand how money works, that may not mean much.

Learning from the experiences of others can save you a tremendous amount of heartache. It is my hope that as you uncover and understand the substance of the lessons that I can share with you, you will be moved to become more involved in managing your own financial affairs. The little lessons that I will share with you will provide the key to unlocking the door to relative financial security.
