Step 5: Develop Your Wealth System
If you want to experience consistent results, you need repeatable processes that deliver. It isn’t efficient nor effective to start from scratch every time you need to make a decision or carry out an action related to your finances. To manage the complexity of your finances and your emotions, a wealth system ensures you know what to do — because you decided and tested out ahead of time.

Develop your wealth system
Remember your puzzle? Now imagine a piece is missing as you just started.
Remember your puzzle? Now imagine a piece is missing as you just started. How long would it take for you to notice on your own? How much quicker would it be to find if you’ve already built this puzzle dozens of times before and counted the pieces before you started?
If you want to experience consistent results, you need repeatable processes that deliver. It isn’t efficient nor effective to start from scratch every time you need to make a decision or carry out an action related to your finances. To manage the complexity of your finances and your emotions, a wealth system ensures you know what to do — because you decided and tested out ahead of time.
The emotional rollercoaster of the markets can feel like a punch in the face when they crash. Why do so many investors buy high and sell low resulting in losing wealth when their intentions were to buy low and sell high to grow wealth? Often, they lack a wealth system to help guide their decisions and actions.
Think about the situations related to your finances that you have uncertainty around within each of the six planning areas. What will you do if something goes wrong? Creating a process and a system before that happens can ensure that you continue to deliver results and you don’t react with emotion instead of logic.
For example, what is your process for when the stock market drops 30%? Put repeatable processes in place to help ensure your success.
If this seems like too much for one person to consider, you’re right. It is. To accomplish this system, ultra wealthy Canadians rely on expertise and guidance from a trusted professional like a Personal CFO to give them an edge and access to wealth systems that work. Creating one from scratch yourself and implementing it is a feat. In this step, you can create your wealth system from scratch or work with a Personal CFO who already has a proven wealth system.
