There’s a big danger that exists that we call The Financial Fog™. The Fog is created by the combination of certain fundamental conditions of today’s world with certain distracting messages that are offered by the media in response to these conditions, and it affects three key areas of vulnerability in your life: your future, your assets, and your family.
The World is Busy
One fundamental condition of the world is that it’s busy, and you have lots of commitments, expectations, and obligations. Common sense tells you to think and plan ahead, but the media message is about day-to-day, short-term urgencies. This combination may fog your ability to create a clear and powerful vision of your future, leaving your future vulnerable to unintended outcomes.
The World is Risky
Another fundamental condition of the world is that it’s risky, and your assets may be exposed to undue or unknown risk. Common sense tells you to protect your money, but the media message is about picking big winners and top performers. This combination may fog your ability to avoid The 8 Big Mistakes, leaving your assets vulnerable to dramatic shrinkage.
The World is Complex
A third fundamental condition of the world is that it’s complex, and you have many options and many decisions to make. Common sense tells you to get help, but the media message is about doing-it-yourself. This combination may fog your ability to make good decisions, leaving your family vulnerable to unnecessary burdens and missed opportunities.
The Fog acts like the fog you sometimes encounter when you’re driving on an open road. One moment you have confidence and a clear view of the road ahead, and the next moment you’re trapped in a bank of fog. Suddenly you lose confidence because you no longer have a clear view ahead; you may become confused, disoriented, stressed, worried, and you make make a poor decision.
We created The Serious Money Approach® to provide strategies for avoiding The Fog and/or getting out of The Fog. The results provide a Platform of Confidence about your future, a plan to grow and protect your assets, and a team to help you make better decisions about your future lifetime opportunities.
