While a DC may have a general sense that things are not set up as efficiently as possible, he/she usually has no idea how much “fi nancial leakage” is actually occur- ring and the staggering cost that results over time. With proper tools and professional guidance, it is actually very easy to recover wealth that was slipping away to financial institutions, as long as you know how and where to look. FINANCIAL X-RAY Similar to chiropractic, the beginning of a healing or fi xing process involves a proper assessment. In this case, we mean an as- sessment of your fi nancial health. The first step in determining how best to proceed is to have your fi nancial x-ray taken. This x-ray becomes a current snapshot of your entire financial life, on one page. The x-ray also serves as a blueprint to document your starting point, and can be referred back to as you measure your progress in the future. Similar to the way a chiropractor can quickly read an x-ray, an expert planner, using this tool, is now in a position to identify areas that are working well, and also point out issues that are of most concern and need to be addressed immediately. STRATEGIC FINANCIAL MODELS Utilizing the information gathered from your fi nancial x-ray, various personal finan- cial models can now be developed. With the help of a professional, different financial strategies can now be compared, and their effectiveness verifi ed. Once the chiropractor is in a position to see and understand the results that are attainable, he/she becomes highly motivated to implement the strat- egy. The goals to be achieved are straight- forward and well worth the time invested. They are: • • • to increase your wealth to decrease your risk to do so at no sacrifi ce to your lifestyle Building wealth is an important part of life for all of us. It involves ongoing review and “adjustment.” Although some of us are not motivated by material possessions, fi nancial security does allow us to have choices in our lives. For some, it means more free time, travel, charitable endeav- ours or early retirement. For almost all of us, being fi nancially independent, and in control, means less stress. Make this the year to take charge of your fi nancial destiny and get your wealth in motion. • www.canadianchiropractor.ca CANADIAN CHIROPRACTOR | MAY 2009 • 33 Some products cover up muscle pain.
