REALISTIC OPTIMISM and Your Financial Security
Have you ever met a wealthy pessimist? One of our profession's most followed coaches, Nick Murray, urges us to teach our clients that "Optimism is the Only Realism."
At Estate Multipliers we embrace that mindset and expand on it:
"A Successful Investor must be an optimist, without being a fool."
After years of advising clients, we've found that the most successful outcomes apply that belief to a 3-part process. Click on the links below to learn more.

Our Services
Financial Planning
FOCUS ON WHAT IS WITHIN YOUR CONTROL
FOR LONG TERM SUCCESS WITH YOUR FINANCIAL GOALS
- Buying that first or second house
- Growing a family, a career, or business
- Setting your children on a stable financial path
- Building a healthy retirement
- Business succession
- Estate planning
With well over 40 years' combined experience helping clients plan for and build on goals like these, we've learned that those who focused on the things that they could control while patiently implementing their written plans were most likely to enjoy long term success.
What can you control? What comes to mind is the goals you set, how you intend to achieve them (we will help you with that), and managing your own behaviours so you don't become your own biggest obstacle (helping you with that part is our greatest strength at Estate Multipliers).
WHAT DO OUR CLIENTS SAY?
"Ms. Marks' level of enthusiasm, thoroughness, and professionalism always exceed my expectations"

ESTATE PLANNING and BUSINESS SUCCESSION
PLAN FOR LIFE EVENTS THAT ARE OUT OF YOUR CONTROL
It's uncomfortable, we know, but Realistic Optimism requires a good understanding of what could go wrong with your plans. You can expect us to point these risks out to you ahead of time so we can explore strategies for getting your plans back on track should the unforeseeable happen.
Insurance can be an affordable way to protect your income and assets from the burden of unexpected circumstances.
