What Are You Aiming For?: Your Retirement Game Plan

Like many kids who aspire to become a basketball deadeye, Ryan often tested his range. He drifted out further than before and attempted to make a lengthy jumper. When his dad spotted him shooting airballs from afar, he approached Ryan. "What are you aiming for?" his dad asked before instructing Ryan to refine his target. Two tries later, after shifting his sights to the barn's sliding door positioned several feet above the rim, Ryan sank the shot.

The question his father posed continues to inspire Ryan. When helping clients as a Wealth Advisor at BrightGuide Financial, Ryan often finds that people should adjust their goals. The target they focus on might not be enough to secure the retirement they truly want.

In his book, What Are You Aiming For? Ryan outlines various characteristics while focusing on a comprehensive approach to retirement planning. To aim for a fruitful retirement, Ryan contends that people should prepare for any unexpected challenges that life presents. That's why Ryan emphasizes that many of the strategies he reveals in his book derive from sophisticated tools and software that generate well-constructed research and data.

Ryan Loynd is the founder and CEO of BrightGuide Financial. He lives in Gilbert, Arizona, with his wife Kristen and their three beautiful children, Elsie, Cora, and Ethan, as well as dogs Stella and Max.
