Suppose you've been personally following The Edge Performance Group or us on social media. In that case, you have likely picked up on our passion. We have tremendous passion for God and His people, family, and community, and we are challenging ourselves and our clients to live the life God ordained for us. It is imperative for us all to live out our life's purpose and to extend the Kingdom of God. We extend the Kingdom of God through witnessing, helping others, and stewarding the resources we have been blessed with. These resources include our talents, the relationships God has blessed with us, and our finances.

We have an affirmative duty to acquire, manage, and grow money and to position ourselves to distribute money as God directs. Most people never reach this level in their finances because they are stuck at the first level – trying to make money. This first level is a struggle for many individuals and families for several reasons. Most of us did not grow up learning to master our finances. Like most American children, the extent of our financial education consisted of this message: go to school, get a "good job," and work for 40+ years with hopes that one day you can retire.

Many of us did not engage in fiscal conversations or talk about building wealth over the dinner table with our parents. In our case, it was rare for everyone to eat together because most members of our family were still working during the dinner hour.
So, any financial education we received did not help us increase our financial well-being. That's no knock on our parents and grandparents. They taught us what they knew, and they helped position us to be in a better place than they were. And we are ever so grateful! Now, we must take the platform they gave us, build on it, and educate our children and grandchildren.
Significantly few people acquire wealth from working a job. Most jobs allow you to make enough money to live and pay bills. While some people have attained wealth from a job, most wealth is built from investments and creating businesses. We must seek to understand how money works and how to leverage money. Wealth is not elusive; it can be obtained from ordinary people like us and you. However, as with any dream or vision, we must have a strategy to obtain wealth.
Numerous studies reveal that the middle class in the United States is shrinking rapidly. This means a more significant gap will exist between those who have and those who do not. And if you are black or brown, the impact is exponentially more significant. Studies reveal that wealth among black families is dwindling even more rapidly.
"We cannot live aimlessly concerning our money. We must become intentional about everything concerning the finances God has given us stewardship over."
This is why we are so passionate about your money! We cannot live aimlessly concerning our money. We must become intentional about everything concerning the finances God has given us stewardship over. And remember that statistically, how we handle money factors heavily into how our children will handle their money.
