Fry the Egg:

Imagine this: You’ve decided to master frying an egg. You read books, watch videos, and learn all the theories about the perfect technique. But when you finally crack that egg, the yolk breaks, the edges stick, and you realize no amount of preparation could replace the experience of actually doing it.

Planning for retirement works the same way. You can research strategies, calculate numbers, and envision your perfect future, but until you take that first step—cracking the egg, so to speak—you won’t know what truly works for you.

So, here’s the call to action: Crack the egg. Take the first step. Schedule a meeting to discuss your retirement goals and start putting your plans into action. Together, we’ll refine the process, adjust as needed, and make sure you’re set up for success in your retirement years.

It turns out we most often make choices based on what our biggest fear is: for example, dying young vs. living long, enjoying today vs. preparing for tomorrow. This thought-provoking article will have you questioning what unrealized fears might be driving your own choices in finance and in life.

I took some time over the holidays to think about my past year in terms of business and family life. It was an interesting thought experiment since I just passed two years of owning QED. I was able to compare to my initial thoughts on why I wanted to make this jump in the first place.

Things in the blog:
→ Growth of my business in the last year
→ Gaining broader national media recognition and trust
→ Some big things my team has coming down the pipeline this year
→ Family adventures and why I'm truly so thankful to have my own firm
