The Conversation Between Generations

Do you want to leave a legacy for future generations to come, but worry about the gift corrupting them?  Are you hoping to pass on meaning even more than the money itself?  Do you wonder how to start the conversation? Do you worry if family dynamics will prevent you from communicating your points clearly and in a way that will be received and understood? 

Today, we’re bringing Tom Michler into the conversation. As a psychologist, he’s helped families navigate the multi-generational conversation about financial planning. In addition to transferring financial assets from one generation to another.

If you want to give a gift or legacy to the next generation, not just transfer money, to have it do the most good in and through them, and to have healthy communication in the family so you can create a deeply-connected family AND long-lasting wealth, tune in now!

In this episode about the conversation between generations, you’ll discover:

• Dynamics of multi-generational conversations about the transfer of wealth.
• How to get rid of regret.
• Why the transfer of wealth needs a conversation between the giver and receiver about what it means, and how without it, the wealth supply becomes depleted.
• The difference between a wealth transfer and a gift.
• How to shift into functional and healthy dialogue about money.
• How a generational belief system becomes accepted and adopted, and how to remove your blockages to money.

Where Generational Conversations Fit In The Bigger Picture

Building family wealth and creating a legacy is the capstone of a life well-lived.  It’s the end goal of a life and business you love, and the greatest mission of our lives.  But we need an entire financial system to support our ability to do the most good.

That’s why we’ve put together the 3-step Entrepreneur’s Cash Flow System.  

The first step is keeping more of the money you make.  This includes tax planning, debt restructuring, cash flow awareness, and restructuring your savings so you can access it as an emergency/opportunity fund.  This step frees up and increases your cash flow, so you have more to save, and consequently, more to invest.

Then, you’ll protect your money with privatized banking, insurance, and legal protection.  

Finally, you’ll put your money to work and get it to make more by investing in cash-flowing assets to build time and money freedom and leave a rich legacy.
