Today we’d like to introduce you to Cindy Arledge.
In 2005, Cindy’s parents passed away 8 months apart. Despite an elaborate estate plan, her parent’s wealth transfer resulted in broken relationships, lost assets, and hurting the people they loved the most.
A few years later, when Cindy became a grandmother, she was motivated to discover a solution to protect their future. In her search, she discovered Legacy Family Planning, the secret estate planning tool used by Ultra High Net Worth families.
After implementing her own plan and seeing the positive results, Cindy started the legacy Family Planning movement to help other business owners and financially successful families avoid the pain her family experienced.
The need is great. We are in the midst of the largest wealth transfer that has ever occurred in the history of mankind. Over the next 30 plus years, an estimated 30 TRILLION dollars will be transferred.
Sadly, up to 90% of them will fail when failure is measured by destroyed relationships, lost assets, and unnecessary upheaval. To educate and inspire families to protect their future, Cindy has written several #1 Best Selling books and offers workshops, retreats and customized programs for individual families.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
Of course not. Death and money are taboo topics. We are a society that avoids death. It makes us uncomfortable, and we don’t know how to talk about it. Responsible adults recognize the need for a will/estate plan, yet 55% of adults haven’t taken this important step.
When I met someone who doesn’t have a will, I know they aren’t my client because they are avoiding the topic of death. I refer them to attorneys so they can get the legal protection they need. My clients have already created an estate plan and done everything they know to do.
They just haven’t heard about Legacy Family Planning, yet. It’s my job to educate and inspire them to take the next step.
Please tell us about the Legacy Family Revolution.
The majority of companies that provide Legacy Family Planning services focus on Ultra High Net Worth families and charge accordingly. They are typically attorneys or financial planners who have added Legacy Family Planning to their practice. Their communication is very professional and intellectual.
I focus on providing my products and services to middle-class millionaires and business owners who see the value in investing in their family’s future. They don’t want their family to fight over money after they are gone, and until now, haven’t had access to affordable services.
Because I have been through a failed inheritance and felt the pain, I write from the heart. My books and programs are written in easy to understand language.
If you had to go back in time and start over, would you have done anything differently?
I believe we are in right place at the right time, so I wouldn’t change anything. After the destruction of my family, I experienced the “dark night of the soul.” I asked God 3 questions. “What did I do to deserve this much pain.” “What do you want me to learn.” “What do I need to do differently.”
I spent years seeking the answer to these questions and created a formula for living that I call GRIPP Life. GRIPP is an acronym for living Gratefully, Responsibly, Intentionally Pursuing Purpose.
In 2015, I walked 500 miles to complete the Camino de Santiago, an ancient pilgrimage in Spain. The plan was to test my formula and then write a book to help others GRIPP Life.
Writing my first book, My Camino, My Life, allowed me to witness my own healing and called me to start the Legacy Family Planning movement.
