Ed Kerns/Legacy Planning Group
As a wealth management firm, Legacy Planning Group has a fundamental belief that the only value of money is in its use. So they help their clients discover their hearts desires and what they value most in order to use their financial resources in support of those values. As a fee-based wealth management firm, their services consist of investment consulting and advanced estate planning for businesses, families and individuals.
In working with business owners, families and successful individuals for the majority of his career, Ed Kerns has developed a few fundamental beliefs that guide him and help others understand “Why” they do what they do. He believes there’s simply no such thing as a purely financial decision since everything affects everything else. In other words, there’s no separating the 5 F’s – Facts, Faith, Feelings, Family, and Finances. Of these 5 variables, feelings or emotion, is usually the dominant factor. Emotion then combined with what we believe, accurately or inaccurately, dictates our behavior. This is often where people get into trouble.
There are a variety of studies that reveal how people don’t manage this emotional dynamic well amidst the complexities of the 5 F’s. Since so many things like the economy, markets, bird flu outbreaks, or the next apocalypse du jour as media reports it are bombarding us daily, it becomes vital to focus on the things we can control versus those things we can’t control. That’s where Legacy Planning Group comes in to help control the controllables.
