FINAL THOUGHTS
I can see why Tariq loves working with ‘Pre High Net Worth’ individuals. A young 22-year-old comes to him for advice, and they can plan out his/her future to ensure they take all the right steps so when retirement is around the corner, they are prepared. And these pre-high net worth individuals come to him because their parents came to him first. The parents made sure their retirement was in place and they were able to say to their children, see, we listened to the advice given to us by Tariq, we believe you should do the same. Wow, I just love it!
