About the Author

Author Info

Dean Kendall is a Financial Organizer, CLU, CHFC from Calgary Alberta, Canada. Fortunately, in 2008 after 16 years as a financial planner he underwent a dramatic positive transformation both personally and professionally. He decided that the profession and the industry had to be changed to serve clients in a radically different way. He also wanted to bring clarity and transparency to both services and fees. 

 

He felt that it was critical to integrate and align three key areas – your most deeply held values, your most important goals (financial and nonfinancial) and the entirety of your financial affairs, in order to help you live your ideal life. Without this alignment, he felt that his clients were taking excessive risks to chase returns without a clear picture of where they were going and why getting there was truly important to them. 

 

Dean wanted to create a client centered methodology and to serve his clients to a higher fiduciary standard than any governing or regulatory body in Canada. He developed a process that gives clients the highest probability of achieving their most important goals in the shortest possible timeframe.


He helps clients delegate in all areas of their lives so they can create more discretionary time. The big payoff for his clients is spending more quality time on the truly important areas of their lives, including family, fitness and health, travel and hobbies, contributing more time to meaningful causes, exploring their spirituality, or whatever is most important to them.


IDEAL LIFE DESIGN AND WEALTH MANAGEMENT

Imagine, for the first time, experiencing a one-of-a-kind process that fully integrates and aligns your most important goals (financial and non-financial), with your most deeply held values (the people and things that are most important to you) and then determines how your finances can be arranged to optimize your fulfilment and enjoyment of life.


Imagine the peace of mind & simplicity you will enjoy with an integrated, aligned overarching strategy for every area of your financial life (including banking, family budgeting, bill paying, autos and other major purchases, financial and retirement planning, insurance, accounting and tax minimization, investments and money management, estate planning and more) all integrated into a single strategy that assures that you will achieve your ideal life goals in significantly less time than other methods. 


This unique system goes way beyond traditional retirement planning or wealth management. In fact, most of our clients are so active and vital that they never want to retire. They just want to have the option to work when, how and with whom they wish. They often prefer to use the term Financial Independence which can happen at any age. To get there, you just need to make your money go to work, so you don’t have to.


Never forget that your money is there to support your LIFE goals and dreams. That’s why we start with a solid Ideal Life planning process and keep working until you have a crystal clear life plan. Then we go to work on how to support it financially.
