Beyond the Cockpit

At some point in life, success starts to create a new kind of problem.

You’ve worked hard to get where you are. You’ve built a career. You’ve taken on increasing responsibility. You may have a spouse and perhaps a couple of kids. You love what you do and eventually reach a point where you are making real money compared to where you started.

On paper, things look pretty good. But beneath the surface, another reality starts to creep in.

What you may not know with the same confidence is whether all that hard work is actually building the life you want. Are you on track financially? Can you enjoy your money now and still retire well later? Are you saving enough? Are you investing in the right things? As your kids rapidly grow older and your parents age…you are reminded of how quickly time goes by.

Maybe the bigger question niggling at the back of your mind is this: what is it all for?

The skills I developed as a Navy fighter pilot transfer surprisingly well to those needed for successful financial planning. I use military analogies, personal stories, and real-world examples throughout this book to explore how to set yourself up for long-term purpose and peace of mind.

I hope it helps you choose wisely in your personal financial journey.

I know my higher purpose, and I hope, in some small way, I can help you fulfill yours.
