#597: Taking the First Step for Financial Wealth as a Family, Individual or Young Adult

The Simplicity Sessions

Show Notes

Chris is back, and we're getting into the money conversation so many of you have been asking for. We talk about what a financial broker actually does (and why it's nothing like talking to your bank), who Chris works with, and the real reason most people are saving without a real plan. We also get personal — Chris shares a compound interest conversation he had with our 18-year-old son that genuinely changed how our son thinks about money. We cover families, singles, blended finances, TFSAs, and setting your kids up before they're even old enough to open an account.

What We Cover: Financial broker vs. bank advisor

Who benefits from working with someone like Chris (it's not just business owners)

Why most people are saving without a real plan or goal

The questions couples and families need to be asking but aren't

Teaching kids about compound interest

How to invest for your child before they're old enough to open a TFSA

The TFSA mistake most Canadians are making

Singles vs. couples in retirement

This is the third and final installment of our Practice and Profit Boot Camp, and today we went all in on the business side. If you've been following along with Parts 1 and 2, you know we've covered the clinical foundations. But today?

Today you're tuning into Part Two of a three-day bootcamp I ran called Practice and Profit. This episode is all about the clinical side of your practice — and honestly, whether you're a nutritionist, personal trainer, naturopath, chiropractor, osteopath, massage therapist, Reiki practitioner, life coach, or NP, there's something in here for you. Even if you're on the receiving end of health and wellness services, I think you'll get a lot out of this one.
