It is our Philosophy:
Wightman Financial Network, LLC, is a firm founded on a single vision: To help people get the most out of life by making informed and intelligent decisions which lead to greater financial security, peace-of-mind and ultimately, happiness. While most people may dream their lives away, our role is to coach people to live a life of their dreams. Many people see a million dollars as a milestone. Although that is an accomplishment, we seek to work hard to encourage our clients to live and share as many moments of magic that they can experience along the way to financial freedom. These stepping-stones mark the winding road of our lives. They are what make each and every person’s life both unique and worthwhile.
PERSONAL FINANCE is like a jungle: Full of beauty and beasts great and small. The things you don't see often are the most dangerous. In the jungle, they are insects, germs, parasites and venomous snakes. Few reasonable people would venture into such an environment without an experienced and trusted guide who takes precautions to ensure that you have both a safe and fun trip and that you reach your prescribed destination. Those who do not heed advice and go it alone often have disastrous results. Yet when it comes to financial planning, fewer than 2% of the American population ever seek the advice of a professional guide. They proceed alone with predictable outcomes. In fact, the average retiree today has a household income of less that half the median poverty level.
Wouldn't you rather face the financial jungle with a master who lives there every day? This jungle is just too perilous to go it alone. Your future is just too important to risk it. As a life coach, we are not only financial advisors, but we are also mentors and personal guides through good times and bad. We protect you from dangers, illuminate what you can't see, take joy in beautiful things, we celebrate the journey and we help you plan for the worst - just in case.
We strive to be to our clients what a coach is to a winning team - the best leader trusted advisor and financial expert anywhere.
