pain surrounding their material assets and cherished relationships. What if
hope for a better way was closer than you knew to be possible?
Packed with uncommon insights, boots on the ground exercises, and real client
stories, you will emerge from the experience with a profound exhale of relief,
and practical steps to make the journey from friction to ease.
Excerpt
In the pages that follow, I have endeavored to create more of an experience than a traditional book. Some people will power through attempting a quick read, and others will find the popcorn of a new idea in the pauses we have carefully infused throughout.
Each chapter offers deep thinking exercises, audio overviews of our counseling concepts, and real client stories. In our decades of counseling and teaching families and advisors, we know that personal interaction with the material has a dramatic effect on the depth of influence, and the speed and durability of progress. Beyond reading or hearing a presentation, this deeper engagement helps families chip away at change. If you are holding an actual 3D book, versus an e-book, you’ll find blank journal pages at the back on which to capture your thinking from the exercises. If you don’t have a hard copy, you’ll want to allocate a notebook or journal to do the work.
About the Author
Joe Strazzeri is an attorney and counselor to successful families and business
owners. With a lifelong desire to become a lawyer, he leveraged his second
career as a general contractor, hammering nails to pay for law school. He has
been self-made since his 20s.
He is a founding partner in four companies that serve multi-generational
affluent families and self-made business owners, and he teaches the trusted
advisors to both. Their life’s work centers on Three Systems of Family
Thriving: family wealth, family relationships and family business
relationships, and family advisory relationships. They focus on four key
capabilities: tax masterminding, business succession, cleaning up messes in
families’ existing planning, and Family Synergy Work.
Over 25 years in business, he and his teams have counseled more than 750
eight- and nine-figure net worth families, and thousands of others. This
experiential sample size renders the insights and perspectives shared in this
book.
Joe credits his entrepreneurial tenacity to the dichotomy of his
parents’ origins. His mother a German, Iowa farmgirl, and his father, a
crazy Sicilian entrepreneur, who began life as a teenage immigrant and drove
the success of several real estate enterprises.
