“This book is pure gold! It finally makes sense of all the financial jargon. - CB

Are you tired of feeling like you're drowning in a sea of financial jargon? Do you lie awake at night worrying about your retirement, your investments, or simply making ends meet? I understand.

Over my three decades in the financial industry, I've heard countless stories like yours. Professionals and retirees who are frustrated, overwhelmed, and unsure about their financial future.

You work hard for your money, but are you confident you're making the right decisions? Have you wasted money on financial advisors who didn't deliver results? Are you tired of feeling lost and confused, wishing you had a clear plan to follow?

You're not alone. Many people approaching retirement feel this way. They want to optimize their finances, but they don't know where to start. They crave clarity, control, and a roadmap to financial security. And they certainly don't have hours to waste on complicated strategies or expensive advisors who don't understand their needs.

That's why I wrote "Swimming With Sharks." It's the guide I wish I had when I was starting out, and it's packed with the insights and strategies I've developed over 30 years of helping people just like you. Whether you prefer a physical book or the convenience of a digital download (with immediate access!), "Swimming With Sharks" provides a clear path to financial peace of mind. In it, I share the IP4R (Independent Planning for Results) Method, a proven system for achieving financial resilience and building the retirement you've always dreamed of.

Here's what you'll gain:

  • Finally, understand your finances with crystal-clear clarity. No more confusion or second-guessing. I've broken down complex financial concepts into easy-to-understand language.

  • Take charge of your financial future with confidence. Stop feeling helpless and start making informed decisions that will secure your long-term security.

  • Implement practical strategies that deliver real results. The IP4R Method provides actionable steps you can apply immediately to your financial situation.

  • Protect your wealth and build a legacy for your loved ones. Gain the peace of mind that comes with knowing you're prepared for anything life throws your way.

  • Save time and money by avoiding costly financial mistakes. "Swimming With Sharks" is an investment in your financial education that will pay for itself many times over.

The IP4R (Independent Planning for Results) Method:

The IP4R Method is a comprehensive, three-phase process I've developed to empower you to achieve your unique financial goals and create certainty about your financial future. It goes beyond traditional financial planning by focusing on your individual needs, values, and aspirations. IP4R emphasizes independence, giving you the knowledge and tools to make informed decisions without relying solely on potentially biased advisors. It's about building a personalized plan that aligns with your vision for the future.


Here's how the IP4R Method works:

Phase 1

Deep Planning

This phase is all about understanding what truly matters to you financially. Through exercises like the Value Chain, you'll articulate your personal hierarchy of financial values and transform important goals into clear, compelling "Must-Haves" with specific timelines and amounts. You'll also track your current financial position to measure future progress.

Phase 2

Roadmap

Now that you know what you want, it's time to create a concrete plan. You'll develop "Must-Have Blueprints," outlining funding plans and schedules. "Financial Snapshots" will give you a clear picture of your income, assets, and liabilities. And the "Global Positioning System (GPS)" tool I've created will become your central hub for tracking progress, milestones, and next steps.

Phase 3

Results

This phase is where the rubber meets the road. Regular "Progress Meetings" (with yourself, or with a financial professional if you choose) ensure you stay on track, identify new priorities, and celebrate your achievements. "Goal Progress Charts" visually demonstrate your progress, and the "Report Card" provides a comprehensive overview of your financial health.

A key component of the IP4R Method, integrated throughout all three phases, is what I call the "5 Rooms" plan. This practical framework breaks down financial planning into five essential areas:

  • Cash Planning: Master your cash flow, build a solid financial foundation, and create a budget that works for you.

  • Wealth Planning: Grow your wealth strategically through smart investments, diversification, and long-term planning.

  • Tax Planning: Minimize your tax burden and keep more of your hard-earned money in your pocket.

  • Legal Protection: Protect your assets from unforeseen circumstances and ensure your wishes are respected.

  • Risk Planning: Identify and mitigate potential risks, safeguarding your financial future from unexpected events.

Why I Wrote This Book:

For over three decades, I've been helping people just like you achieve financial success. I've seen what works, and I've seen what doesn't. In "Swimming With Sharks," I share everything I've learned, giving you the tools and knowledge you need to navigate the financial world with confidence.

I Understand You Might Be Thinking...

  • "I don't have time." I know you're busy. That's why I designed "Swimming With Sharks" and the IP4R Method to be concise and actionable. You can implement the strategies quickly and start seeing results without spending hours poring over complex financial jargon.

  • "I don't trust financial advisors." I understand your skepticism. The IP4R Method empowers you to take control of your finances, so you don't have to rely solely on advisors. You'll gain the knowledge and confidence to make your own informed decisions.

  • "I'm already managing my finances okay." Even if you're doing well, "Swimming With Sharks" can help you optimize your strategy and achieve even greater financial success. There's always room for improvement, and this book will give you the edge you need with the IP4R Method.

  • "It's too expensive." "Swimming With Sharks" is an investment in your financial future, not an expense. It's a small price to pay for the peace of mind and financial security the IP4R Method provides. Think of how much you could lose by not having the right information.

  • "I don't have the expertise." You don't need to be a financial whiz to understand "Swimming With Sharks." I've written it in clear, easy-to-understand language, and the IP4R Method is designed to be simple and straightforward.

  • "I'm not sure if the book alone will be enough. I think I need personalized advice." I understand. While "Swimming With Sharks" empowers you to take control and make informed decisions independently, I also offer personalized financial planning services for those who want more support. You can learn more about these services after you've purchased the book.
