Gmail QuickStart Story
QuickStart is to BayRock what Gmail is to Google. When did you first hear about Gmail?
Back in 2005, I had a friend (Toby Wise) who sent me an email to let me know that he had discovered this really helpful resource called Gmail. After he opened his Gmail account, he was invited (by Google) to send out 25 email invitations to his friends. I received one of those Gmail invitations and it could not have come at a more perfect time. I just posted this video with my Hurricane Katrina story and how Gmail gave me the ability to make over $100,000 and pay off my house in about 6 months.

A - Analysis
Our Gap Analysis includes 20+ years of financial expertise, thousands of hours of research and training, and a focus on 7 Essential Elements of your Personal Financial Life:
- Retirement Income and Expenses
- Risk Management and Insurance Review
- Estate Planning
- Education Funding for Children and Grand Children
- Tax Planning Strategies
- Investment Strategies
- Cash Flow Before, During, and After Retirement
R - Recommendations
With your Retirement Income Gap Analysis complete, your Certified Financial Planner™ professional will offer a second meeting (in person or virtually via Zoom) to review our findings and recommendations.
In plain English, we’ll explain exactly what you can do to improve your retirement income plan.
We will also answer any questions you have related to any of the items we identified as *Gaps* in your plan.
At the end of this meeting, we’ll provide a proposal, including a menu of services with the associated costs so that you can decide if working with BayRock Financial is the best move for you and your family.
If you need more time to think about it — no worries. We’re ready when you’re ready.
T - Teamwork
Like any doctor, it’s important to diagnose before creating a treatment plan or writing a prescription. After our Discovery Meeting, our team coordinates with your advisory team (in our office or via Zoom).
- Your CPA
- Your Family or Business Attorney
- Your Insurance Agent(s)
- Your Stock Broker (if needed)
E - Evaluation
We often need to evaluate more than one possible course of action, taking into consideration your life situation, personal values, and current economic conditions. Evaluation is an important part of any successful plan.
Plan evaluation includes all of the major strategies that have been put in place for the purpose of achieving your goals.
R - Reevaluate and Revise
Your BayRock CFP® Professional will help you Review, Reevaluate, and Revise Your Plan as needed.
Financial planning is a dynamic process and that doesn’t end after each step. We’re here to help you regularly assess your financial decisions. Changing personal, social, and economic factors may require more frequent assessments.
If life events affect your financial needs, our Fee Based Financial Planning process can provide an easy way to adapt to those changes. A regular review of your financial plan (typically on an quarterly basis) helps us help you make any needed adjustments to bring your financial goals and activities in alignment with your vision, values, and purpose.
