Stephen Stricklin is the president and founder of an independent, full-service wealth management firm. After starting his career as a teacher and a coach, Stephen took his passion of educating others and adapted it to the financial services industry. He was motivated by the desire to bring financial wisdom to his clients. He enjoys working with business owners, professionals, families and individuals who believe that wealth is a tool that needs to be managed wisely in order to produce the best results.

More than being a fiduciary, Stephen and his team believe in the timeless principle known as the Golden Rule: Treat others the way you would want to be treated. This philosophy sets Stephen and his team apart in a world of robo-advisors, online investing and generic advice. He and his team of advisors seek to serve their clients’ best interests, and gauge their success only on if their clients feel successful. He provides financial education and motivation through his workplace financial education workshops and he provides financial inspiration and instruction to churches and faith-based organizations.

Stephen has been recognized as a finalist for Retirement Advisor of the Year by Retirement Advisor magazine, an annual honor bestowed on the top five retirement advisors in the nation.

Simplify Your Retirement: Timeless Principles to Achieve Financial Peace is a book outlining how having a plan can significantly improve your peace of mind and allow you to pursue your dreams to and through retirement.

First Wisdom, Then Wealth

Many people travel through life without ever creating a financial plan. They may be “too busy” or think it’s “too complicated.”

However, having a plan can significantly improve your peace of mind and allow you to pursue your dreams to and through retirement.

In Simplify Your Retirement, Stephen Stricklin addresses those who understand the importance of having a plan and who want freedom from financial worries. He details his Five Principles of Financial Planning:

  1. No investment decisions outside the context of the plan.
  2. The plan determines the products.
  3. Don’t let your portfolio take a HIT (health care, inflation, and taxes).
  4. Protect the income; grow the rest.
  5. Financial peace comes from having a plan.

This book is for people who have investments, but do not have a plan. For people who have a goal to retire, but want to know what to do in order to get there and then enjoy it.
