The One-Page Financial Plan

savvy-ladies-wednesday-wisdom-webinar-header-image

It’s no surprise that even very successful people feel confused or paralyzed when dealing with money. They want the best advice—so, rather than do the “wrong thing,” they do nothing. What they don’t realize is that bad calls about money aren’t failures; they’re just what happens when emotional creatures have to make decisions about the future with limited information.

We have to commit to a process of guessing and making adjustments when things go off track. Of course we’re going to make the best guesses we can—but we’re not going to obsess over getting them exactly right.

The fact is, in a single page you can prioritize what you really want in life and figure out how to get there. That’s because a great financial plan has nothing to do with what the markets are doing or the hot stock your friend told you about. It has everything to do with what’s most important to you.

You may be wondering, “What about the details?” Don’t worry: Carl will address your concerns and share strategies that will take the complexity out of them.

Watch this conversation with Carl about getting clear on the big picture, so you can cope with the unexpected. In other words: life will happen. This webinar will help you bridge the gap between where you are now and where you want to go.
