Since that time, our assets under management have quintupled, our infrastructure and management systems have been refined, our priorities have been modified, and we are working with bigger and happier clients. We paid thousands of dollars for his work and received a benefit far beyond that. Now he and Rebecca have put many of their ideas into this book. It′s a gift to the planning profession. ” —Ross Levin, CFP President, Accredited Investors, Inc. Author, The Wealth Management Index “This is the book a lot of practitioners have been waiting for.
