We've all heard, "Money can't buy happiness".

But let's be honest. Almost all of us are chasing financial freedom for one reason or another.

It's for a deeper purpose
- Peace of mind
- Early retirement
- Travel
- A specific lifestyle
- More time back
- Giving back to people or charities

Maybe money can't buy happiness directly.

But a lot of these things can bring happiness.

So money certainly can help. Financial freedom can bring happiness.

I have posted a decent amount about what I do, but not sure I've posted about why

I've always enjoyed learning about the markets, finance, business, etc. but when I was really young, I always just assumed you sit behind a desk, trade stocks, prepare financial plans

One day, I helped my now business partner with one of his clients. The clients were an older couple, husband was diagnosed with ALS

They had a large yard with many trees and in the fall, it needed a lot of raking. I helped out and after a few hours and 20 bags of mulched leaves, we finished

I talked with the wife who was so grateful. I saw the interaction with her and her advisor

That day, I wanted that same type of fulfillment over and over. To be trusted as a financial advisor for someone is fulfilling, but it's more than just that. I strive to have relationships that go beyond that

One of the biggest risks people run if ALL of their money is in a 401(k) account or Traditional IRA, is liquidity.

What happens if you need money for an emergency? Or simply just a large sum of money? Roof needs replaced, down payment for new home, starting a business, helping family out, etc.

401(k) accounts are great, and should be participated in, but also have its limitations.

I had the privilege of visiting RBC Wealth Management's headquarters in Minneapolis last week

I often talk about our team being a father-and-son advisor team alongside an incredible client associate, and being able to provide concierge-style service

It was a friendly reminder that while our team is small and personal, we are backed by on of the most respected financial institutions in the world

More than 1,800 employees work out of Minneapolis alone, focused mainly on behind-the-scene operations that allow us to operate at such a high level

RBC is also one of the top firms in the U.S. bond market and maintains some of the highest credit ratings in the industry, reflecting the firm's financial strength on a global scale

Grateful to be a part of a firm that helps our team deliver high level service

Increasing revenue does not equal a higher valuation of your business

Intangible capital makes up 80% of the value

1. Human Capital: employee's talent, ability to execute without the owner

2. Customer Capital: customer relationships, loyalty, tenure

3. Structural Capital: systems, financials, strategy, processes

4. Social Capital: company culture. Are employees happy and are they behind the vision?

This article and resources from Exit Planning Institute helps illustrate this.

Exit Planning Institute released a comprehensive look at the Four Intangible Capitals consisting of an in-depth whitepaper, case study, and descriptive infographic.
