Since 1995, Tony Verheyen has helped tens of thousands of people improve their financial wellbeing. Although their backgrounds are different, the vast majority of them share three key traits:
- They derive the bulk of their financial wherewithal by working as traditional employees.
- They manage part or all of their wealth without the assistance of paid advisors.
- They don't have time for daily affirmations, mumbo jumbo, or busywork.
Over time, Tony's noticed that some of the people consistently do all the right things. They stand apart from their peers, but they aren't the usual suspects (e.g., high income, corner office, advanced degree). They're employees at all levels that exhibit conscious approaches, strong mindsets, and unrelenting devotions to succeeding in good times and bad.
He wrote In Our Reach to show readers how some of their resourceful colleagues get ahead and to put those same strategies and steps in their reach.
The first section of the book helps readers develop a conscious approach to financial wellbeing and the last calls them to embrace an unrelenting devotion to making their efforts sustainable. The sections in between focus on steps to strengthen their four core financial mindsets. An appendix is also included to share planning tools that Tony's used since 2006 to help DIY financial planners.
As a former military, workplace, and college instructor, Tony realizes traditional employees don't have time for workbooks, textbooks, or vanity books. And he knows that they hate being "SOLD!" and talked down to. So he offers real-world, practical insights in a way that compels readers to turn every page.
