    How to Plan for Unpleasant and Unexpected Life Events

    Do you have a plan in place in case of an unexpected and catastrophic life event? Want to become a member? Click Here Want to talk about Financial Wellness? Click Here Today, we want to cover a few points on the subject of creating a long-term life plan and setting goals. As an introduction to this topic, Kris has a story to share. A while back, Kris’ mother approached her with tears in her eyes and a paper in-hand, saying that this paper might be something Kris should share with her friends and clients.  When Kris looked closer, she realized the paper was a bill from Stanford Hospital for five days of chemo. The amount? $90,000.  At that time, Kris’ mother was having chemo five days per month for a year. That being said, $1 million truly isn’t as much money as people think. Life happens, and there are some things you can never plan for. Even my father, who was a master planner, had never prepared for this kind of situation. My mother had cancer for 10 years, and she and my father went through a lot of money out-of-pocket. They, like many people, didn’t fully understand the laws and insurance policies surrounding care for these kinds of illnesses.  “ Sometimes, we put way too much emotion into our plans. ” This is a very serious, difficult subject. Conversations about long-term life plans aren’t always easy, but over the years I’ve learned how to make it lighter than it could be.  Every person around you who is important to your life needs to know and understand your plans and goals. How are you going to produce the kind of income you need for a secure future? How will you not spend your estate in a catastrophic situation?  These days, there are a lot of things that can happen to us at any given moment. So, you need to have a 911 plan. The fact that these touchy subjects are difficult to think and talk about often prevents us from forming these plans. The honest truth is that, while we don’t want to talk about it, death is a part of life. Sometimes, we put way too much emotion into our plans.  At Legacy Shifters, we have a financial fitness strategy session you can sign up for for free. Visit www.LegacyShifters.com and reach out to us so that we can have a talk about your future. If you have any other questions or would like more information, feel free to give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

    How to Set Your Children up for a Successful Future

    It’s never too soon or too late to take charge of your financial future. Today, we’d like to share some information on how to start. Want to become a member? Click Here Want to talk about Financial Wellness? Click Here We’ve been working with families and people for years now. One thing we’ve consistently seen in that time is that parents wait, hope, and pray that their youth get an education centered around money.  But why are we waiting? You can begin to teach your children positive habits at any time. Though, if you don’t understand what you should be doing yourself, it may be difficult to know how you should teach those skills to your children.  Even if you find yourself in this position, we can help. One of the first things we recommend is to simply talk about the concept of retiring with your youth. When we think about our financial future, many of us might start to wonder when our own children will be thinking about this topic.  If you are of retirement age right now and you have knowledge to share about financial security, why not pass it on to the youth in your family?  Kris wrote her book “Ready for Pretirement” to help people understand and prepare for their financial future. Using the information in this book, she has helped so many people live their most fabulous futures.  “ If you would like to continue the conversation with us about these skills and this knowledge, join our Shift membership. ” One key thing to remember is that it’s never too early to start planning and start saving. Even if you encourage your children to save just $100 a month toward retirement, every little bit counts. You would be amazed to see how these habits can create income you will never outlive. The concept of saving money is basic knowledge. The difference in what we share with people is personal development. Though people know they should save, they often don’t. In Tia’s book “Living on Purpose With a Purpose,” she encourages people to overcome fear and old habits in order to live their life with intention.  If you would like to continue the conversation with us about these skills and this knowledge, join our Shift membership. The Legacy Shifters membership program is just $39.99 per year and offers an incredible value to its members. With this membership, you’ll receive guidance on your financial future, copies of both of our books, and much more. You can find more information at www.LegacyShifters.com. If you have any other questions or would like more information, feel free to give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

    It's Never Too Early to Start Planning for Retirement

    Procrastination causes a lot of issues when it comes to planning for our futures. Today we’re here to tell you to stop waiting and start planning, now. Want to become a member? Click Here Want to talk about Financial Wellness? Click Here Procrastination is the biggest issue we’ve seen in our practice over the years. This is one factor that gets everyone in trouble.  This is what inspired Kris to write her No. 1 bestselling book: “Ready for Pretirement: 3 Secrets for Safe Money and a Fabulous Future.”  “Pretirement” means planning your retirement early. By early, we mean now. Don’t wait. Do it now. Often, we like to wait on things because we don’t think about our future. We aren’t thinking about what we might need a decade or two decades in the future.  We tell ourselves we’ll get in control of things next week or even next year. We simply put things off. But, we aren’t here to judge. No one can blame you for acting this way since no one told you that you could literally set yourself up with income you can never outlive. “ Don’t wait. Do it now. ” But if you want to achieve this, you have to take time to learn it. It doesn’t matter what age you are, you can get started anytime. You don’t have to be at retirement age to start planning for retirement.  Procrastination comes from uncertainty. Thankfully, we can help you get rid of this uncertainty. Go to www.LegacyShifters.com so we can set you up with a free financial strategy session. If you have any other questions or would like more information, feel free to give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

    The Key to Maintaining Strong Personal and Financial Relationships

    Relationship accounts are almost as important as financial accounts. Here’s what you need to know about them both. Want to become a member? Click Here Want to talk about Financial Wellness? Click Here We all know relationship accounts can be draining, especially when you’re trying to maintain a personal purpose account at the same time. With relationship accounts, you get emotionally involved, it’s hard to cut people off, and it can really affect your business. One thing you need to ask yourself is this: Are you all about you or all about others? When you make that shift from focusing on yourself to focusing on others, your energy shifts. “ Relationships are where the true wealth lies. ” What are you depositing into your personal relationships as a business owner? Oftentimes, people give you a pass on relationships when you’re successful. Family members and friends know that you're busy working hard and creating income, and they tend to not bother you. However, we have a responsibility to take some accountability for the types of personal accounts we are depositing our love and energy into. To me, relationships are where the true wealth lies. That’s the real treasure we have at the end of the day. What you do with your relationships will give you the energy to invest in what you have and where you are going.  If you’re a business owner and can relate to this topic, give us a call or send us an email. We would love the chance to speak with you and look at what you’re doing with your money, your time, and your business so we can help out. Give us a call or send us an email today. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

    Use the “Giveback Principle” to Empower Your Business

    If you really want to build your business, focus on what your giveback—or purpose is first. Want to become a member? Click Here Want to talk about Financial Wellness? Click Here I’ve been in practice for over 25 years and have counseled over 6,000 people, and no one has ever lost a dime on my watch.  However, there was still a point in time in my business where I hit a ceiling and couldn’t go any farther. I was very successful, but I wanted to reach millions of people. I accomplished this by making my life with a purpose in my business. My purpose is to help you learn what I know and give back.   When I used that purpose to empower my business, everything changed. Opportunities and people showed up in my life that weren’t there before. Setting the “giveback principle” as the base of your business will propel you into places you’ve never been before. If you’re a business owner, you know that we oftentimes we build our business first and focus on the money. Only after that do we decide where to put that money. That’s usually the way people progress in business, but what we’re talking about today is doing this in reverse. Think about what your giveback—or purpose—will be first. Focus on that and watch your business change. That’s a living legacy. You’re living that purpose—it’s purposeful money, it’s purposeful energy, and a purpose-driven life.  “ Think about what your giveback—or purpose—will be before you build your business. ” This principle also requires a strategy to implement it, so look at the big picture and work your way backward with a strategy. Remember that strategies are multi-layered because they don’t just pertain to the giveback—they also pertain to your life and income outside of work.  If you have any questions about adopting the give back principle or you’re interested in a strategy session to figure out if you’re living your purpose and making money at the same time, don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We’d be glad to talk to you.

    Do You Have Healthy Business Spending Habits?

    Today we want to share some information with you about the importance of keeping good money habits in your life and business. There are a few things we’re all guilty of, but these habits can be changed. Want to become a member? Click Here Want to talk about Financial Wellness? Click Here Want to register for our FREE WEBINAR? Click Here Have you ever found of yourself out of money at the end of the month? If you have, have you ever paid attention to why and how this has happened? Many of us have experienced this shortage of funds, but haven’t really thought about where it’s coming from. This can have a big impact on our lives and our businesses.  As women and business owners, we have a lot to balance in our lives. Let’s be honest, sometimes the way we spend our money in our personal life isn’t exactly the way we spend money in our businesses.  Business expenses are a lot different than what we spend in our personal lives, and can therefore be confusing. You can spend years upon years dumping money into your business, but no results will come of it if you don’t pay attention to your end game.  As business owners, we sometimes move forward without a strategy. We think that if we spend a lot of money on something, then it will surely work out. But, this may not always be true. It’s important to stop for a moment and pay attention to your money. Examine what the returns will be on your investments before you make them.  Another thing to consider is having money stored in case something goes wrong. Having a rainy day fund is so important. When you have money saved, you will be able to build your business for the future instead of working from one day to the next without a future in mind. “ We’ll help you figure out where to start, so that wherever you end up you’ll be successful. ” That being said, remember to take time out and have a “planning vacation.” Pick a day each week and analyze the big picture of your business. Look at your systems, tools, and strategies and determine what will work best.  To learn how to begin, reach out to us at www.LegacyShifters.com. We’ll help you figure out where to start, so that wherever you end up you’ll be successful.
