Faith Or Fear? Money Is Causing Fear In Millions Of People And They Are Losing Faith
Southlake, TX, February 21, 2012 – Hard times aren't just a figure of speech. Guy Hatcher knows even middle-class American families have to really stretch just to make ends meet. In spite of that, he passionately believes making a little extra to leave behind for our kids is not the most important part of our financial, or “generational” planning as he puts it.
That is the central premise of his message: the new economic world we live in may be the best thing that's ever happened to our country. “We became so wrapped up in having things,” Hatcher says, “we forgot about spending time with the ones we love and we discarded our faith. Those two things are the very foundation of this country’s existence.” “We are so driven by fear and money we have become paralyzed as a nation; we have no place to go but down unless we find our faith again. Quality of life is now just a figure of speech…and faith? Saying “faith” and attending church on Sunday is not existing in faith or living with intentionality.”
Hatcher himself is no stranger to success or failure. A sought-after Certified Financial Planner®, he is the founder and president of Advanced Planning, Inc. His areas of expertise include wealth management, estate planning and business coaching. Since 1987, Hatcher has focused on helping his clients enjoy financial freedom; creating and achieving their own personal definition of a “great life.”

“The gift I've been given by the economic downturn and this new world we live in – an authentic, meaningful connection with my wife, my children and a deeper conviction in my faith. I now exist in my faith and live with intentionality to have true quality of life. The Bible says we have the ability to live in abundance. Jesus says, in John 10:10 I have come that they may have life and have it to the full.” Hatcher says, “For many, living life to the fullest means acquiring things and having lots of money.” “We have it all wrong; we seem to place our life’s value on what we wear, what we drive and where we live.”
The main thrust of this new “existing in faith and living with intentionality” approach has its beginnings in the fact that the past recession has forced us to go back to the basics: faith, family and friends. That simple observation led Hatcher to a series of questions: When we achieve what we’re chasing, are we happy? Why do we need a bigger house, more stuff? Could you be less stressed in a smaller home with fewer things and be able to see your kids grow up? What impact would you like to have on the next generation or even four generations from now?
Dynamic, compassionate, and intuitive, Hatcher has a unique gift for understanding people and their needs, as well as a rare ability to render complex financial issues into clear-cut terms. He is a nationally recognized speaker at industry conferences and has trained successful individuals and business owners in hundreds of educational workshops and seminars.
