I love getting to support my wife, Meryn, as she and her mom run a dance studio for kids here in Columbus. Through dance, children get to explore their gifts, build a positive self-image, and freely express themselves. As a parent, you are probably looking to help your kids through the same type of growth. 1) Are you setting an example in how you spend your time and financial resources? 2) Is your income protected for their sake in the event the unexpected happens? 3) Are you saving to help get them started on the right foot, if that’s a goal you have? I would love to have a conversation with you to hear about your story and the dreams you have for yourself as well as your kids. If I can be a resource, shoot me a message or give me a call!
