But Why Is This Interview On a Financial Advising Site?
We are financial planners. So, why is a financial advisor
talking about something as horrific as domestic sex
trafficking? Great question.
yes, we lead clients to grow their wealth, but
we believe we have failed as an advisor if we haven't
equally led our clients to live a better quality of life.
Money is just a tool to reaching the future that you want, and a
better quality of life for you, your family, and our community
can't be fully measured by the size of your bank accounts.
We believe in "quality of life" and that the quality of life of
our community matters.
It is one of the greatest joys of our business to meet
with clients, hear their dreams, and then see them live our
a plan to achieve their goals.
We are More Than Money because we believe in you
enjoying your life AND growing your wealth.
This interview may have been uncomfortable for you, but we think
it is essential for more and more light to be shown on this
painful issue. We are so thankful for all of Street Grace's
efforts to change the stories of thousands!
