Many of the decisions we need to make about the future are easier to make early on. By answering a number of questions prior to our meeting, I’ll be as efficient as possible with our time together. Our process actually helps you find time by focusing on the things that really matter each day. When the results of that process make many of the other things we fill our time with easier or unnecessary, we suddenly discover we have more time to do the things that truly matter, like spending time with our families without the distraction of work.

Anticipating what life will be like once your paycheck is replaced by retirement income can be a challenge. That’s why we look at all of your options and tailor a plan that fits your budget, and provides as many of the things you’re looking for as possible. It is also why we stand ready to help you get out of debt and stay that way for the rest of your life. Building this model, and then teaching your children the same thing means you’ll leave a legacy that will be remembered for generations. Is an investment in your future and your legacy worth it?

• You shouldn’t! At least not without doing your own homework. Your Second Half Life isn’t for everyone. If you are satisfied with the way your life is shaping up, and have everything figured out, that’s great. You don’t need us. On the other hand, if you realize that it is impossible to have thought of everything, and you’re looking for a creative outside the box thinker, you’ve come to the right place. We’ll build a team of advisors that will do the most important thing of all. PROTECT THE ASSET.
• Ken Christensen, LLC and the Your Second Half Life brand are connected. We spend a great deal of time learning from the experience of others in books. Yet, that’s not enough. All of that is worthless for you and for us, if we don’t take action. With the benefit of time, and our own experiences, we’ve learned first hand from our experiences–good and bad. We can guarantee you that you’re going to have your own experiences, and likely make your own mistakes. Ultimately, we learn most deeply from experiences. The trick is to learn the proper lessons. We’re going to collaborate with you to define the systems that make the “machine” work, and then continue to tweak it as time goes on. We are about the process, not the destination. Arriving at a destination represents the end. Enjoying the journey right up to the end, and then effectively passing the baton to the next generation is our passion. That comes from seeing it done for three generations in my family, and then watching it crumble. For years I blamed the previous generations. Yet they were only doing what they knew. Now I know better, and still I find it hard to put those systems in place in my own life. Ultimately, we each need to learn how to be accountable to ourselves. I’m thrilled you’ve read this far, but that’s only the start. Taking action is what produces results.

  In the end the trust we want to build isn’t with us alone. It’s your entire family for generations to come. That’s what caused the problems in our family business. We trusted the wrong things. We forced family members into the business when their heart wasn’t in it. We didn’t figure out how to adapt to a changing environment because we didn’t know why the systems once worked.

  Your trust in us will come from the questions we ask, that lead you to implement and refine systems. So don’t trust us, trust the process. And then pass the principles of the process on from generation to generation.

• In the event that you have a scenario I don’t know how to help you with, I know where to turn. A baseball team with a pitcher in trouble turns to their bullpen. My bullpen includes seasoned coaches and agents who stand ready to help.

• In the early part of your life, you are the asset.
• Later in life the things you own that produce income are your assets.
• Finally, as you near the end of your life, it becomes the legacy you leave behind.

• In the early part of your life, when you are the asset, we protect your income by using life insurance.
• Later in life the things you own that produce income are your assets. Here, things get more challenging. In order for assets to produce income, we have to have systems in place. Those systems include a special type of insurance that allows it to become a part of your asset system.
• With the end of our lives in view, we come to understand the importance of communicating how to protect assets from generation to generation. That’s the legacy you want to create and pass on.
• Let’s get started!
