My relationship with money changed when I released tens of tons of personal baggage.
It allowed me to feel worthy of being a spouse and self.
The future was no longer nebulous.
There were real scenarios to consider now, especially with three kids I would adopt.
As a business owner and new father, I began to keep the end in mind.
I wanted to ensure they grew up with a healthy relationship around wealth and money.
I speak revenue, not wages to them.
I share my business pipeline with them. We talk about the various challenges business and property owners face.
They come to client meetings with me.
We celebrate together when I close a deal.
We talk about our next set of goals, not the commas in the wire transfer.
We have a “no question is a dumb question” policy. I have had some of the most memorable conversations with my family.
They know they can be vulnerable.
My view has become infinite versus the next 40-50 years.
I’m thinking about the generations of family members I can affect with a good attitude and excellent relationship with money and wealth.
This helps to ensure the future will have no self-imposed limitations.
This is exit planning.
