Big Life Financial is focused on removing the mystery and misinformation surrounding money and financial strategy so people can live their biggest life. Derick believes that each person has something unique and valuable to contribute to the world, but that most people are never able to express that gift due to fear, doubt, or worry related to money. He wants to help people eradicate that fear and fundamentally change the way that people think about and utilize money within the next generation. Derick mentions that the tax code is about as long as the entire Harry Potter series. That’s wild! You don’t need to know every part of the tax code to benefit from tax planning. Like Derick says, that’s why you bring in a specialist to educate you and help you make informed decisions for yourself. Today’s quote is: “If you don’t know what you’re doing, the chances of success are a lot lower.”Thank you for listening!Please like and subscribe here and on your podcast app of choice.
