I recently read “the quality of relationships- not the quantity of dollars – ultimately define quality of life.” * The older I get, and the more I speak with clients, the more this truth resonates with me. Our most valuable assets are the quality relationships with family and friends.
Chances are, if you died today, your net worth would drop like a rock. If most of your net worth is in a family business and/or real estate, the value your family receives could be 50% or less than what you expect.
I believe generosity is a game changer. In our own life and in our family. As parents, we all want our children to have a better life than we have. Unfortunately, living in an affluent society has led to high levels of entitlement and people that are very focused on themselves. Generosity is the antidote!
Entrusted families have goals that are both deep & broad. They are less interested in preparing their families to be rich and more interested in preparing them to manage, sustain and carry on a rich legacy.
