"I have come to believe that without astute financial planning, it is difficult to lead a happy, healthy and wealthy life. I have never forgotten the feeling of being poor, and I appreciate how financial security protects one’s dignity. I consider it my responsibility to use the knowledge I have gained and the wealth I have accumulated to help others. I believe it is our responsibility to use the resources we have to help others. The philosophy of using all resources at our disposal to help others expands into my work as a financial consultant. I have served hundreds, maybe thousands, of families through my financial consulting practice. I trust those clients appreciate the money they have earned and will put it to good use, bettering their lives and the lives of those around them.
That result is the wish I have for readers of this book as well. I have written this book with the goal of helping you avoid what I consider the “9 Fatal Mistakes” I have seen so many Canadians make when it comes to their wealth. This book will demonstrate that even small financial decisions can have a big impact on an individual or family’s future. By taking these lessons to heart and avoiding these mistakes, you will be able to live the abundant life you have dreamed of. It’s my hope that you will have enough abundance in your life that you, too, will be able to contribute to the causes important to you."
