Training and coaching for your personal wealth building and the related tax planning
with focus on the 20% of the choices which will deliver 80% of your expected results

You are in charge of growing your personal wealth – equipped with the right knowledge and coaching

In the Netherlands it is becoming more important to take care of your own financial freedom. This is even more important as the Dutch government demands an ever increasing part of your income and your wealth via many taxes, now and in future. The same government also keeps increasing your pension age, and keeps reducing your pensions. Taking care yourself of your own financial freedom, also taking tax impacts and fiscal options into account, is today more important than ever.

For more than 10 years the effective overall tax burden has been increased for most people. There is no end to this yet, as many multi-year tax increases has already been set by the government. Making up your mind about your current reality and context, to make the right choices for managing your personal wealth, right for you, is key.

80 20 Financial Freedom won’t advise you regarding your decisions for your wealth management, and won’t offer any financial products either. This is all about your own choices, where I can provide you with relevant knowledge and coaching to help your decision making. The recommended book “Think for Yourself – Restoring Common Sense in an Age of Experts and Artificial Intelligence” illustrates very well how important it is to make your own decisions, instead of outsourcing your decisions to ‘experts’.

Take care of your own future by growing your personal wealth,
also by making optimal use of the tax laws, to establish your financial freedom.

The Pareto principle (also known as the 80/20 rule) states that, for many events, roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes.

80 20 Financial Freedom is all about applying Pareto to focus only on the key decisions – specific for your situation to successfully grow your wealth, with confidence.

  With this approach you can take the right actions, without being distracted by the many suppliers of financial and investment products. Together we will ensure you have a full understanding of what really matters for you, taking the complexity out of the wealth building landscape.

80 20 Financial Freedom offers training and coaching for building your personal wealth, in the context of your personal financial and tax planning. My goal is to provide, based on your situation and your knowledge regarding wealth building and tax laws,  fit-for-purpose personal training and coaching, to best prepare you to manage your own wealth building.

 I offer no financial advice, and I also don’t sell any financial product. There is no lack of suppliers of financial advice and financal products, and it may be difficult to find your way here. With the training and coaching which I offer, you are beter prepared to approach these suppliers, if you are considering their products.

In a joint effort we can consider whether (further) wealth building would be relevant for you. If so, we can consider which choices you have in establishing your wealth building program, and in how far you could benefit from additional knowledge regarding wealth building.

Of course I can also be of help to you in the further implementation of the choices you made. Last but not least I can also assist you in your tax planning to make optimal use of the Dutch tax laws in building your wealth (without becoming your tax advisor and without preparing your returns to the tax authorities).

The 80 20 Financial Freedom approach is fully individual for you and your partner (if you have one). Only in this way fit-for-purpose training and coaching is assured.

 We will bring clarity in matters which may appear complex  – to end with a limited set of important, clear options.

  Based on this understanding, you can make responsible choices on how to best build your wealth over the years.

“My experience with investing spans more than 20 years. I have found a setup to invest my wealth with limited energy in a distributed manner. I though Edo could not teach me that much any more.. however, with his pragmatic suggestions I have been able to further optimise my risks profile and cost structure. Many thanks, Edo!”
Mr. A.L., Rijswijk

Independent Coaching Entrepreneur

“As an economist by training, I thought I had both my income as well as my investment plans pretty well under control. However, after a few inspiring conversations with Edo who demonstrated to me that much more was possible, I suddenly realised that I had slipped into a state of ‘financial hibernation’.  I have now implemented nearly all of his pragmatic suggestions, some with immediate financial returns and some with material potential for the coming years.  Edo offers in-depth and up-to-date financial knowledge, is reliable, pragmatic and is eager to fulfill the specific needs of his client. I happen to be skewed towards the risk adverse side by nature, and I never had the feeling that Edo suggested options that would push me out of my ‘comfort zone’, or that I was being manoeuvred into more risky investments. I herewith warmly recommend Edo as your trainer and coach for growing your financial wealth!” 
Mr. R.A.D., Hoorn

Senior IT Manager

“A while ago I left my employer to become self-employed, to offer IT Manager/Consultant services. In doing so, I had many questions about investment management (especially now, with the low interest rate and the high taxes), pension and legal arrangements. Edo provided fast and very helpful responses to each question I had. This has prevented me from making several mistakes, which I otherwise would have made. His help has enabled me to improve my wealth management, where I made a number of changes based on the conversations we had. It is not just his both broad and deep reliable content knowledge, but also his relaxed and nevertheless enthusiastic and confident way of working. He made sure he full understood my position, and all his work was fully done in my interest. Edo really is the go-to person for high quality training for wealth management!”
Mr. B.J.R., Waddinxveen

Self-employed IT Manager/Consultant

“I have been investing for a number of years already, sometimes successfull, but sometimes also less successfull. My biggest challenge has been to set a strategy and then to stick to that strategy. In a few dialogues Edo has helped me to gain a better insight in which investment strategy would be the best fit for me. He did this in a very down-to-earth, practical way, based on his extensive knowledge and with focus on the things which matter. By listinging well, he could coach me on what would be best for me. So, if you would like to engage with a good sparring partner on the topic of building your personal wealth, without getting the feeling that you are being steered in any way, then Edo’s services are recommended for you.”
Mr. K.L., Ridderkerk

Independent IT Program & Project Manager

“After my decision to make use of the early retirement arrangement that my former employer provided, I found with Edo an independent and reliable sounding board that helped me to better formulate my financial goals and define a fit for purpose financial action plan.

With his support I was able to map out my (real) financial risks and opportunities and follow up with the right mitigation and action that now makes me feel financially healthy, in control and prepared for the future.

I perceived Edo his coaching style as pleasant and to the point, where he always kept me in the driving seat to make sure that for the years to come (potentially with some of Edo his help) I will be able to maintain and execute my own financial goals and action plan. “

Financially independent and satisfied individual at Zoetermeer (NL)

“After having rented for many year, our son finally found an affordable house to buy in The Hague. Since he is a starter in the housing market, this instantly brought up the issue of how to best finance his considerable acquisition and whether there are opportunities to support him as parents. After some research on the internet, we quickly discovered that these matters are pretty complex, especially when considering the detailed  fiscal implications. Could we donate certain amounts tax-free, is a family or bank mortgage a better option than a private loan, how do you ensure all kids are treated fairly and equally, etc.

So we decided to approach Edo for some professional coaching and he came back within a day with a series of thought provoking questions. The most striking one was: “What exactly is it that you want to achieve for yourselves and for your children?” Great question and this forced us to formulate our goal as precisely as we could and then suddenly all the pieces fell into place! We also used Edo’s financial expertise to dive into the details and filled in the remaining blanks.

Edo has shown to be a master in asking the right questions and some of those were so provoking that they pushed us out of our comfort zones. This proved to be exactly what we needed to put everything in the right perspective.

In the end, we have made a decision and with the great help of Edo’s structured approach, we now have reached the calm mindset of having made a good, well balanced and carefully considered financial decision.

To summarize, I would appreciate to be of help to you with training and coaching for personal wealth building, to establish your financial freedom.

For most people there will be a moment where they can live their chosen lifestyle, maybe with some minor adjustments, without the need to earn any money any more. This is called ‘financial freedom’ (free from the need to work for an income). If you would like to better understand the timing of this moment in your situation, or if actually would like to advance this moment, a brief analysis of your options will be relevant.
If you would like to be more active in building your wealth, or if you consider a change of approach in your current wealth building, you no doubt already have seen how many (if not too many) recommendations are available for wealth building. I would be happy to help you to create clarity, and to consider, with you, which options you have which fit with your situation, your knowledge and your aptitude to risk. The conversation will be more about possible allications of your wealth across various asset classes (like companies, commodities, real estate, etcetera) than about the selection of the best share to buy which will make you rich without any risks – as I’m not a big believer in that approach.
Once you have a plan for wealth building, it is important to get the implementation right. I can help you with the relevant training so you can make your choice from the many suppliers. I also can coach you on the actual use of services you have selected, like an investment account. However, you will always be your own manager for building your personal wealth.
In a high-tax country like the Netherlands it is important to consider the tax laws in building your wealth in the optimal way. Training and coaching to make best use of the tax laws can be provided by me. In doing so, I will not become your tax advisor and I will not file your tax returns with the tax authorities.
