    The Value of Your Time with Mark Fujiwara Part 2

    The Value of Your Time with Mark Fujiwara Part 2

    In today’s episode, Bill talks to the Director of Baird, Mark Fujiwara, about his journey to success and how he built his network of remarkable people. He also shares how he makes it a point to be present at all times with his family despite his busy schedule and more about his personal life.
     
    Mark Fujiwara is a Personal CFO to a select group of wonderful clients, a certified portfolio manager, an author, and a  rspeaker on the missing component of a financial plan. Most of the entrepreneurs and retirees he speaks to not only need guidance and order with their finances but struggle to address the most important issue of health and longevity. Working with entrepreneurs for 25 years, he has discovered that without addressing their most important asset, all that they’ve worked for could be for not.
