Designed by Inspiration TM

Designed by Inspiration™

We are excited to announce our newly approved trademark! This has been a dream of Don’s for quite some time, and he is thrilled to finally see it come to fruition.

While the official trademark is new, it simply clarifies how we have always operated; believing that your wealth can be designed to help you live your most inspired life.

The Designed by Inspiration ™ process is simple. Inspire. Design. Live.

WHAT YOU’LL FIND INSIDE:

  • Designed By Inspiration ™
  • CALENDAR
  • “THE DANG Ps” CONCERT
  • KEEPING YOUR INFORMATION SAFE
  • SHRED EVENT
  • FINANCIAL AID AND COLLEGE ADMISSIONS
  • ELEVATE CONFERENCE
  • CONSTRUCTION ON BROWN ST

As you know from working with us over the years, successful investing is goal-oriented and driven by a detailed design. Once you determine your inspiration by answering, “what kind of life do you want to create with your wealth”, we design a strategy to help you achieve your inspiration, so that ultimately, you have the freedom to live the life that calls you.

That freedom could be the ability to retire when you want, support charities that matter to you most, or maybe even escape the winter weather for a few months each year.

Designing your wealth with intention is what we do. Helping you live your most inspired life is who we are. Designed by Inspiration ™.

“Becky and I have followed the Dangling Participles in Jackson, Lansing, and Grand Rapids. Their music, originals and covers, are most enjoyable! Their stage performance and pure musical talent sets them apart from anyone you might normally see. They are a can’t miss show!”

Shred Event

We had wonderful weather for our 2nd annual Paper Shredding Event on May 12th. It was great to see all the clients who came by and we even had fresh baked cookies for them!

With identity theft and other types of fraud on the rise, we are glad to be able to offer this service for you! MDK Recycling, who did our shredding, is an NAID AAA Certified company. They meet stringent qualifications for secure information destruction in more than 20 areas of operational and security requirements.

We hope to be able to offer this service annually, so start saving your papers for next year!

Financial Aid And College Admissions Questions Answered

With the cost of attending college skyrocketing, Raymond James and Franklin Templeton have partnered to provide a three-part video series giving families a breakdown of everything they should know when applying for financial aid.

The series will address paying for college, applying for financial aid and scholarships, and take an in-depth look into the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form.

Elevate Conference

Krystal, Candace, Don, Gretchen, and Carrie attended the annual Raymond James Elevate Conference in Orlando, Florida. During the 3-day conference we were able to listen to key-note speakers, choose from dozens of continuing education classes to attend, and network with other professionals in our industry.
We also had time for a little fun! One evening we went to Universal Studios for dinner and rides in the park. Another afternoon we spent an hour lounging by the pool. It was nice to escape the rainy, forty-degree Michigan weather!

Overall, Elevate was a great opportunity to grow, both personally and professionally, equipping us to better serve you, our valued clients.

Road Construction on South Brown Street

The construction project continues on South Brown Street right in front of our office. The street will be resurfaced and a new pedestrian trail is being installed.

Brown St. still has only one lane of traffic, and that lane only flows southbound. To get to our office, you will either have to go south on Brown St. from Michigan Avenue or enter our parking lot from Franklin Street.
