11.27.18
Looking from some expert advice on how to live the life you want and increase your wealth? Newport Beach-based Ken Kladouris, a financial planner, wrote a book called “Get There!” and he shares his wisdom on how to identify your passion and your purpose while at the same time he gives valuable tips on defining and accomplishing your goals, and ultimately creating the life that you want.
Ken shares the tools that helped him live a more meaningful and purpose-filled life while drawing from lessons he learned in his pursuit of sailing. Ken explains through true-life stories of individuals planning for the best life in retirement, how by first knowing themselves, defining their vision, and charting their courses made for sweet sailing once their nine-to-five jobs became a thing of their past.
Proceeds from the book are donated to the Ocean Conservancy.
Get There!: Chart Your Course to Financial Abundance and Live the Life You Desire guides you on how to create a vision, mission and plan for your life. It’s available on Amazon for $9.99.
