Invest

Investment by definition is the act of devoting time, effort, energy or finances to a particular undertaking with the expectation of a worthwhile result. We can invest in a lot of things such as our community, our relationships, our finances, and our health with the hope that the effort will have a positive impact. We can invest in our community by supporting our local businesses, schools and local organizations. We can serve the community through volunteerism and investment in future generations. On a larger scale, we can participate in public surveys and stay educated and involved with future city planning. Investing in our finances helps create wealth, meets longterm financial goals and secures our retirement. On a personal level, we can invest in our families and enrich relationships by giving time and effort to the people in our lives that mean the most to us. This type of investment has the most meaningful impact to not only ourselves but to the people closest to us.

I always say to my children, if you don't take care of yourself first, you won't have enough to give to others. Investing in our health, and our family first, allows us to go out into the world and invest in our community with our full selves, grounded and productive.

While investing in ourselves, relationships, community and finances can look very different from person to person, the effort we put into these areas of our lives are done with the common goal of having a positive impact that yields results. In this issue, we wanted to share about some of the ways that we can invest in our community, our finances and with those that we love.

GREG LONG, TRUSTED FINANCIAL ADVISOR, FOCUSES ON HELPING MT. JULIET FAMILIES LIVE LIFE FULFILLED.

GregLong, FinancialAdvisor with Edward Jones

“There are three fundamental truths of investing. One, downturns happen. Two, upturns always follow downturns. Three, upturns last significantly longer than downturns.”

– GREG LONG

Whether you are looking for tips on nutrition, health, or finances, there’s a lot of information to navigate, which can be overwhelming. Each person has unique circumstances that may not easily fit into predefined boxes. When it comes to money matters, Greg Long knows how important it is to have a knowledgeable advisor who can tailor a plan to your specific needs and goals.

Greg Long has been with Edward Jones for 13 years and recounts one of his most memorable encounters with a man nearing age 60 whose employer of 30 years had sold the company. When he arrived with his wife for their meeting, his stress was palpable. This hard-working individual assumed he’d need to continue working until age 67, but Greg was able to offer options for retiring immediately and fondly recalls the relief on the client’s face.

Greg has always been passionate about helping the Mt. Juliet community achieve financial independence in numerous ways. He enjoys supporting residents through his work with the Rotary which gifts $100 to every new teacher in Wilson County and hosts other relationship-building events. He also appreciates the company culture

with Edward Jones by giving back through volunteer efforts and fundraisers including the Walk to End Alzheimer’s at Nissan Stadium. This disease tries to steal everything Greg hopes to help people achieve: purpose, relationships, and retirement.

In recent years, there has been a shift in financial planning. While saving for retirement is certainly important, Greg hopes to continue helping people live a fulfilling life along the way. One key to his approach is targeted questions that aim to guide families toward discovering their priorities. Because his ultimate goal is for individuals to approach life with courage and joy rather than fear and obligation.

While the investment industry is driven by clickbait headlines, worry, and anxiety, Greg Long helps his clients operate from a place of tranquility and peace with their finances. Step one is having a good understanding of where you are. The next step is a customized plan that considers your personal needs and wants. Having a trusted coach who can assist you with both is life-changing.

Planting Seeds in People First

BUILDING A LEGACY THAT STANDS ON COMMUNITY

As evidenced by census data (and home prices), scores of people have been drawn to Mt. Juliet over the past several years. Many have been attracted to the area for financial reasons but end up staying for other - less tangible and more meaningful - reasons. John Howard, owner of Lawns by Luke, was given an opportunity to move here by his past employer. "Little did I know at that time, the reason God brought me here was to form a landscape company.” Though not everybody views their paths with spiritual significance, John muses, "People say that each phase or job in your life is only a platform or steppingstone for something greater if you keep your steps guided by the Lord."

Let's rewind a bit. Though John Howard isn't from the area, he grew up in the south - on a large horse farm in Kentucky. And you can trace his love of the outdoors directly to this upbringing. "Being outdoors allows you to be productive, it brings clarity for me," he reflects. "It really is medicine for the soul." Given his passion and skills, it would appear to be a natural progression for John to start a landscaping company. But being perfectly suited to a certain path doesn't mean it's the easy choice to make - especially when a corporate job can provide security and stability. And so, it required a leap of faith - which John took in the form of purchasing a $12,000 lawn mower. His wife, Allison, was supportive (though skeptical).

Fast forward to today, and it's clear that it was a risk that paid off. John quickly picked up jobs mowing his neighbors' lawns and the rest is history. Lawns by Luke launched in

2017 and now specializes in premium landscape design and build services. “We really shine with enhancing someone's property through irrigation services and hardscape services (such as patios, fire pits, etc.).” His work on one of his client’s small yard projects has recently garnered some well-deserved attention and is a great example of the vast capabilities of the Lawns by Luke team. “Of course, we provide lawn maintenance for many commercial and residential clients as well." John has scaled wisely and has been careful not to overextend himself or his business, deciding to strategically focus on 3-4 services. “I think it's important to stay in your lane and be really good at something," he explains.

At this point in the story, one might be wondering why Lawns by Luke isn't Lawns by John. The business is a family affair. Luke is John's son, whom he credits with being the 'inspiration' behind the business. Luke is referred to as 'brand ambassador,’ which is a role he thrives in. "He takes great pride in being a part of something so special in a community in which he will grow up." And he's not the only family member that has a part to play. John describes, with much love and adoration, how Allison contributes. "She is ultimately responsible for being my support - emotionally, spiritually, and strategically. She is great at cultivating relationships and keeping the administrative obligations on point. We are far better organized because of her skills." Last, but certainly not least, his daughter, Samantha, is also involved in the family business. John beams, “She has shown me a level

“People say that each phase or job in your life is only a platform or steppingstone for something greater if you keep your steps guided by the Lord.”

When speaking with John, three things are abundantly clear- he loves his family, he loves his community, and he gives all the glory to God.

of love I didn't know existed and that motivates me to make this an even better place to be and work."

A nd that, he has. By investing in his business, John Howard has given the community something invaluable. "We have amazing clients and support in the community that drives us to give back and do even better. It has allowed us to be the best option for people wanting to improve their property or create a dream backyard they can enjoy. So many companies today are laser-focused on the bottom line. Revenues are very important, however, we've prioritized relationships and quality of service." When speaking with John, three things are abundantly clear- he loves his family, he loves his community, and he gives all the glory to God. God didn't just bring him here to create a landscape company - but an enduring example of how investing in oneself and one's family can serve the larger community. "It is our passion and joy to do this, and we are here to stay."

DR. CHRIS MENZEL IS HELPING PATIENTS ACCOMPLISH THEIR WEIGHT ISSUES IN A SAFE AND HEALTHY WAY

CONQUER YOUR HEALTH

As a personal trainer and nutritionist 15 years ago, Chris Menzel enjoyed working with clients to help them lose weight. He organized health competi-

“Losing weight is difficult because the body shuts down its metabolism during weight loss to retain excess weight for energy,” he says. “This leads to pla-

tions based on The Biggest Loser, the hit reality weight loss show.

“It was 24 weeks of intensive exercise, calorie counts and nutrition plans,” Menzel says of those days in his hometown of Hilton Head. “The winner lost 81 pounds, and everyone did well.”

There was, however, a hurdle that many clients couldn’t clear. No matter how hard they tried, they would hit plateaus where they could no longer lose weight.

“That’s when I started thinking ‘there’s got to be more to weight loss than calories in/calories out,” he says. “I decided to return to school to study medicine. I learned about obesity and became a bariatric surgeon.”

Today, Dr. Menzel is Medical Director of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery at Vanderbilt Wilson County Hospital where he performs a high volume of weight loss surgeries. His operations allow people to achieve successful, sustainable weight loss, and cure many related health conditions.

teaus, frustration, and ultimately, loss of hope. Weight loss surgery, however, overrides this metabolic process and allows for overcoming these plateaus.”

Menzel says the most important point to him is the impact of weight on quality of life. “I always think back to my family - my wife, my kids - and what I can do to be my best version for them. I want that for all my patients.”

“Bariatric surgery is safe and minimally invasive,” he says. “You’ll be walking around the same day, and you’ll go home the next day. Weight loss begins immediately and will continue for a year or more as we provide support along the way.

“The field of weight loss surgery has changed tremendously over the past decade, and specialization has led to much higher success rates. My goal is to be our community’s local doctor who can help people live the type of life they always wanted.”

Lifetime of Memories

INVEST IN THE OUTDOOR LIFESTYLE WITH ANDERSON MARINE

ARTICLE BY KOURTNEY MCCOMB PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED

If the majority of your time is spent sitting inside at a desk, you’re likely craving outdoor time with family and friends whenever possible. As we head into the most beautiful time of the year in Tennessee, many of us are thinking about all of the outdoor adventures that lie ahead. Boating, fishing, and watersports are at the top of that list for many folks and are all activities that bring people together with undeniable fun. The benefits of boating are bountiful; time spent on the water can reduce

“WE HAVE MANY CUSTOMERS WHOSE FAMILIES HAVE ‘GROWN UP’ WITH US,” SAYS ANDERSON.

stress with the calming effect it has on the mind which in turn improves overall mental health. Not to mention a break from screen time, face-to-face socialization, and priceless memories made. Safe sun exposure is incredibly beneficial for the human body and learning how to operate and navigate a boat also has a mentally stimulating effect on the brain.

When trying to determine if a boat is the right investment for you and your family, Anderson Marine is more than happy to lend their expansive expertise in leisure time on the water. The entire sales and service team has their own love of boats, fishing, and water sports; so, on top of the products and services they offer, their stellar customer care and personal experience will blow you away. Priding themselves on making sure each of their customers leaves feeling confident that they’ve made the right choice when investing in a recreational vehicle for themselves or their family, the Anderson team asks all the key questions.

Owner Joy Anderson highlights the company’s process of asking honest questions during the buying process because they want their customers to have a lifelong enjoyment of boating, starting with that first investment. Whether a novice or experienced boater, there's a lot to consider when purchasing a boat. After 42 years in the business, it’s clear that Anderson Marine is passionate about ensuring customer satisfaction not just with their first experience in the store but beyond that. "We have many customers whose families have 'grown up' with us," says Anderson. She emphasizes the importance of making your

purchasing decisions now in early spring to get the exact boat you’re dreaming of to make the most of your time on the water. From new and pre-owned Yamaha Sports Boats to Yachts, accessories and everything in between, Anderson Marine will always guarantee that the investment you make in their store is the right one for you and your lifestyle.

For Joy Anderson, fishing, chilling out, and enjoying quality time with friends and family are at the top of the list of activities she enjoys on the water. She remarks that “boating is an investment in fun, relaxation, family and friends.”

When you walk into Anderson Marine, you can be confident knowing you’ll walk away with the tools you need to have the best boating experience possible for years to come. Take that step toward fun-filled days in the sun, on the water, making memories with the ones you love. Anderson notes, “We invest in our customers' happiness by keeping thousands of items in stock so we have what they need when they need it.  We are professionals - let us help you!”

“Put down the phone, pick up a pole, take a seat, enjoy the wind in your hair and the sun on your skin!”-Joy Anderson

A beach vacation is a time-tested family tradition, and investing your precious time and resources in beach memories will earn returns for a lifetime. The beaches of 30A and Destin, Florida are a short 10-hour drive where sun-kissed cheeks, salty hair, sandy toes, and the sounds of seagulls and laughter await.

Whether investing in a beach vacation rental home or renting one for the week, a Destin vacation rental home or condominium provides a home-away-from-home at the beach. With a fully stocked kitchen (and often scenic views), the same meals you cook at home simply taste better at the beach. Investors can lessen their contribution by joining together with other family members or friends in a large vacation rental home to help reduce costs and increase the reward of enjoying time with loved ones.

In order to get the most out of your investment, plan new activities and try new restaurants. From dolphin cruises and watersports to art galleries and chic rooftop bars, new adventures await. Some companies such as Newman-Dailey Resort Properties, provide complimentary daily beach service and free and discounted passes for area attractions.

The best part is that family vacations are time-tested and have been a kid favorite for decades. The smiles and memories made are the ultimate payout on your investment and the sunset photo of everyone at this age is priceless.

INDOOR PLANT GUIDE

Investing in indoor plants can not only spruce up your living space, but also bring numerous health and well-being benefits

Bringing the outdoors in with the use of house plants is a great way to add color and dimension to your space. We sat down with Jesse Nelson at Family Tree Nursery, based in Kansas, and discussed the benefits of incorporating plant life into your home. “There are plenty of studies on the health benefits of plants, and the evidence suggests that being around plants and caring for plant life increases overall wellness,” explains Nelson. “Anytime you bring a plant into a home or work environment, it’s going to make you feel better. It is going to beautify the space in a way that art cannot, and they also have the added benefit of  purifying the air.” There are a wide variety of indoor plants that work for any space and light situation that you may have. Regardless if you have a green thumb or a black thumb, there are plant varieties that fit your lifestyle. Here are a few of our favorite indoor plants to incorporate into your home.

Anthurium has gorgeous, colorful flowers and is the easiest indoor flowering plant to care for. It comes in a variety of colors including red, white, orange and purple. Anthurium likes to be dry, so let it go bone dry before watering. Fertilize every so often, especially when blooming. These plants do not like direct sunlight and can be repotted every three to five years.

This cascading plant is gaining popularity due to its succulent-like leaves and also because it is fairly easy to care for. The Hope Peperomia likes medium to bright direct sunlight. It does well as a tabletop plant or a hanging plant. Watering is only needed one time a month regardless of plant size.

“Anytime you bring a plant into a home or work environment, it’s going to make you feel better. It is going to beautify the space in a way that art cannot, and they also have the added benefit of  purifying the air.”

This is a slow-growing variety that is architectural and compact. This plant is a great statement piece and looks great in an entryway or by a chair. There are a lot of varieties and colors of the Dracaena. They are very resilient in low light and are great for an office space with little or no light. They like to stay on the dry side, so they like to be watered when they are about ½ to ¾ of the way dry. When watering, give it a good soak. Pro tip: A moisture meter can be purchased and used to determine how dry your plant is to help determine when it is time to water again.

RETIREMENT INCOME PLANNING: MAXIMIZING WEALTH AND LEGACY

YOU ONLY GET ONE RETIREMENT

Retirement marks the culmination of years of dedication, perseverance and sound financial choices. A key element of effective retirement planning is diversifying your income sources. While staples like 401(k)s or IRAs are foundational, it’s equally important to branch out. Tax considerations significantly influence retirement strategies. Each financial action, from asset sales to account withdrawals, can carry tax consequences. Knowing these details can greatly influence one’s overall retirement income. Tactics such as Roth IRA conversions can help distribute tax liabilities over time, allowing for tax-free withdrawals later on. Using strategies like tax-loss harvesting can balance out capital gains, ensuring proactive steps to reduce tax impact.

SOURCES OF INCOME DURING RETIREMENT

Annuities have long been recognized as a popular retirement income source. An annuity is essentially a financial contract that can offer a steady and predictable income, with options that might even extend to lifetime payouts. Retirees should also be aware of certain drawbacks. These might include fees and expenses, issues around liquidity, and potential concerns related to inflation.

Delving into the world of Alternative Investments, retirees can consider assets such as hedge funds, private equity and real assets, among others. These investments may promise higher returns and provide diversification away from traditional stocks and bonds. However, the complexities of these investments mean they often come with challenges like illiquidity, higher fees and the need for a thorough understanding of the investment itself.

The backbone of many retirement plans, Social Security Income, provides a safety net for millions. Established with the intent of financial assistance, the amount one receives depends on various factors. There are also strategies retirees can employ to maximize these benefits, such as deciding on the optimal time to claim or considering the implications of working while receiving benefits.

Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs), while not familiar to everyone, can be a potential retirement income source. Historically rooted, DSTs offer a form of passive real estate investment, which can lead to regular distributions. They also open doors to 1031 exchange possibilities, offering tax deferral benefits. But, just like any other investment, DSTs have their limitations, notably the lack of liquidity and the heavy reliance on trust management.

You only get one retirement. In the ever-evolving world of finance, staying updated and flexible is essential to ensure the continued relevance and efficiency of one’s retirement strategy.
