WHAT REALLY DRIVES FINANCIAL IMPACT?

What really drives people’s decision-making when it comes to money? The answers may surprise you.  We tend to think of finance and investing as math-based pursuits rooted in numbers, but good decisions require understanding our own psychology and behaviors. What are the common themes that lead to good outcomes over the long-term? Whether you are an employee, a business owner or a raising a family, how can you optimize your wealth building process? What framework can we apply using some of the characteristics shared by the world’s best executives and investors?
