Keeping clients involved with their investments – and their futures
“We combine our authentic concern for our clients with a commitment to excellence.” That’s how Richard Coe explained why his investment firm still has clients
When I was very young, growing up in Wichita, my best friend at the time, Ben (not his real name), who lived a few doors down from us, lost his father to a sudden heart attack.
Over the years there were many, many occasions when I would ask Ben to do something with me. When those things involved money, the answer would often be, “no.” He might only be asking for a nickel for the popsicle man, but the answer was still “no”. At the time, I didn’t understand why or what was really going on.
My parents were generous people, so oftentimes I would witness them stepping up and helping Ben. They even included him on family trips.

In the 1980s, I had a business transforming event. One after another, folks who had successfully built wealth would come to me saying, “I’m all taken care of.” I would ask them, “Are you fully certain?’
Their answer was usually some version of, “I think so, but I’m not fully certain. I have very good advisors. I just want to be absolutely sure I’m not missing anything.”
When I would “stress test” their wealth plan, I’d find some pretty significant Gaps, Inconsistencies and Dangers. Their answers were always the same, “What! I had no idea. I was told that everything was taken care of!”
“That’s mostly because the planning industry is broken,” I would tell them. I believe my clients deserve more.
That led me on a journey that resulted in The Abundant Wealth Process – a customized, comprehensive, client-first wealth process that is designed to preserve, protect and pass on more wealth.
I believe that decent, hard-working folks who have accumulated wealth over their lifetime deserve every opportunity to live an Abundant Lifestyle and leave an Abundant Legacy.
