I completely understand that you might be feeling cautious with everything we are exposed to in the news and conversations with friends and family.
If you are confident and optimistic, that is awesome! Congratulations, you are winning the game (feel free to continue reading).
I am empathetic that this may be a confusing or frustrating time for many, and it’s never been harder to make heads or tails of what we are hearing.
Right now, a lot of people are waiting for things to ‘settle down’ — but here’s the truth:
Clarity usually comes after opportunity, not before it.
The best financial plans aren’t made when the road is perfectly smooth.
They’re built during the bumps — so you’re ready to move forward confidently, no matter what.
If you wait until everything feels ‘safe,’ you may be reacting to the past — not preparing for the future.
At Know My Plan, we create a plan that works through uncertainty, not just in perfect conditions.
We have a defined process that every family goes and when we meet, we continue to update and work the plan.
No matter what happens next, you’re not sitting on your hands — you’re moving toward your goals with confidence.
It’s human nature to feel the need for clarity before acting, but clarity never comes, or you are then reacting to the euphoria of not missing out.
I want to help empower you to make the important mindset shift to desire a plan to act confidently even without perfect clarity.
Recently, I coached my 11-year-olds soccer team at the YMCA.
If you’re a parent, you know no youth soccer game has ever been orderly and beautifully orchestrated.
It’s a swarm of kids chasing the ball like bees after honey.
Imagine saying, ‘I’ll jump in and coach once they all stand still and listen perfectly.
You’d be waiting forever.
Good coaches jump into the storm, plan, and guide the team while it’s messy.
Good financial planning works the same way.
If you or someone you’re close to is a high-achieving professional that could use help aligning their finances and establishing a financial plan, please reach out to us, we’re accepting new clients and eager to help.
Stay disciplined. Work the plan.
