You’ve Reached the
Next Level of Success.
Now You Need Financial Strategies,
& Advisors that are a Match for You.
Create Your Plan Today.
You need a modern plan that uses Financial Innovation to Engineer Wealth. This type of Custom Gameplan will provide you with both the Offensive (Growth) and Defensive (Control) Components for Balance.
Not all Financial Planning is equal. Make sure the one you have, is not just off the shelf.
When an Entrepreneur, Business Owner or High Level Executive Achieves a Certain Level, they need a Financial Consultant who Understands not just them, but also Business. It’s Time to Adapt your plan.
A business that makes $1 million a year is not the same as a business that makes $5 to $10 million a year, or even $20 million. The Strategies that got you to one level, will not be the same to take you higher.
You need Strategies that Match Your Level.
Disclaimer:
These Strategies work best with Professionals who typically are making $250,000 a year or more. These Ideas are Not For Everyone. There are required minimums, and income levels needed. Meet with us to learn more and determine if this is a good fit for you.

Money Management
- Growth Thru Focused Investing
Are you unhappy with your investment performance? We have top performing strategies to help you.
Investing does not have to be a random gamble. It should be Planned and Deliberate.
Our Process is Simple: Easy to Hire. Easy to Fire.
Investing Philosophy:
- Invest in Good Public Companies
- 20 – 30 Positions
- Co’s w/ Strong Balance Sheet with Low Debt + Cash & Cash Flow
- Secular Growth & Strong Leadership Position in Their Market
- Macro Outlook: We like a Stable Economy & Credit Market
We are Growth Investors: If we do not produce returns on assets that beat the market, move on from us. The stock picks are Industry Leading Companies with Strong Balance Sheets.
Most financial planners give clients off the shelf ETF strategies, and some are good, but some ETFs do not match their client’s needs.
ETF’s that follow the whole S&P 500 have all of the companies in them, and make investment decisions by computer. Many of these companies are not worth investing in, just a drag on your Money.
We hand Pick Each Position and Monitor it Daily.
The Breakdown of the S&P would surprise many people. Only 20% of the companies are worth investing in.
That leaves 80% to avoid. This includes the bottom 20% – that are Zombie Co’s. These are companies that are not profitable, not growing, and just servicing debt.
Think Real Estate for Example:
Would you want to Own All the Houses on a Block? This includes the Beat Up Homes, with No curb appeal.
Or the Niceset Homes on the Block?
Own the Top 20%
How we Work with Clients:
You receive Straight Forward wording in explanations. We can talk financial jargon, and flash complex charts if you want, but find it is often not needed.

Equity Creator
- Create A Tax Free Exit Strategy
We believe Everyone should be able to Exit the Workplace on their Own Terms, not someone else’s. We’re the Advisors who can Show You How.
We work with Entrepreneurs, Business Owners, and High Level Executives to Improve Cash Flow, and Pull Equity out of the business. The goal is to Grow your overall Net Worth. Your business may not sell for what you think it is worth, but there are options to Create an Exit Strategy that acts as your ‘Backup Plan’ if you decide not to sell.
We usually use Insurance Strategies for our Clients to carry this out. Tax Free Matching is our most popular strategy, because it has Many Benefits:
- Tax Free Matching Brings Tax Free Money
- Provides an Increase to Your Contributions of 260% (2.5x +)
- Allows you to acquire Tax Free Assets

- 5 and Done – make Contributions for a Definitive Timeline of 5 years, and then No More
A Good Return of Investment (ROI) is 25%. A much better ROI is 2 -3x (200 – 300%).
A Great ROI is 7 – 10X (700% +). That is what Tax Free matching can do for you.
Put in $250K over 5 years, and watch it Grow to be a $1.75 + Million Asset over the Long Term.
This process can be used by Management to Create a Plan for their Star Employees, hence you can Retain Top Talent wihout needed to give up any Business Equity. It also has All of the Same the Benefits from the Tax Protection strategy below.

Financial Innovation is one of the greatest way to Multiply Wealth. In essence, it helps you Create More Wealth with Less Capital. The key is financial leverage thru the use of Low Risk Assets.
You Borrow at a Low Rate, and Invest at a Higher Rate using OPM (other people’s money).
The analogy is similar to a real estate investment deal. You need to Engineer Wealth, by not using all of your own capital.

Tax Protection
- Control Your Capital
Using the Tax Code to Reduce or eliminate Taxes can be one of the biggest things you do to Increase your Financial Security.
The Objective is to move more of your money into a long term Tax Free position. We usually use Insurance Strategies for our Clients to carry this out. (Multiplier Match being the most popular).
It is Important to have your funds Separated into 3 Types of Accounts:
- Taxed – Normal W2 income (1099, salary, etc.), Investments (maybe Taxed at lower Cap Gains rates)
- Tax Deferred – typical retirement accounts like 401K, IRA
- Tax Free – Insurance Accounts, or Roth IRA
Most professionals have all of their money in the Taxed, or Tax Deferred categories which lacks balance. The Problem is all of your money is exposed to either the Current Government Tax Code – or the unpredictable Future Tax Code. Either way, you have less Certainty of what you will be paying.
Moving money into a Tax Free position can help you Increase your Wealth, and potentially save you six figures or more in taxes.
Tax Protection Client Example –
Let’s look at the Tax Brackets Strategy one of our clients is using to save a fortune in taxes.
The idea is simple. You combine taxable and tax free income streams during retirement to stay in lower tax brackets.
This can save six or seven figures in taxes over time:
For the client we set up a tax free income strategy over 10 years ago, and he’s now in the distribution phase…
$180,000 per year taxable
$100,000 per year tax free
=$280k in income
The taxable money fills up the lower brackets.
The $100,000 tax free would have normally been taxed at 24%.
Since it’s tax free this saves $24,000 per year.
$480,000 in tax savings over the next 20 years.
Keep that money earning interest and it could double or triple.
Historical Tax Rates have been as high as 70% for top earners. Do you think rates will got to 70% again? This may not happen, but what about increases of 5 or 10%?
This post gives a brief history of tax rates, and a breakdown example: https://wealthforlife.net/2019/01/70-tax-rate/
