Life's wake up call - 20/20 financial planning 
Incredible stories around the world offer us the Hope for living. Once such is the story of Mike Jaffe.
Mike Jaffe falls into the category of someone who should have died on 9/11, but was saved by chance. He worked on the 96th Floor of the World Trade Center, but was late to work that day because he had decided to have breakfast with his wife and daughter that morning. When he showed up to the office, most of his coworkers and friends had already perished. “I lost many friends and co-workers on 9/11, which served as a painful but powerful reminder of how precious life truly is. I knew I could never again settle for a life that was simply fine,” he told me. So, what does Mike do now? Well, he left his financially secure corporate lifestyle in favor of becoming a motivational speaker and life coach. Today, he works with thousands of individuals to help them find the motivation to make the same type of shift that he has. “I see myself as a Human Wake up Call, waking people up to new possibilities for their lives and businesses, without losing another precious day."
The world has changed drastically after 9/11 with global security is under constant and rising threat. Compounding such threats are our ever increasing job related mobility. Mike Jaffe snatched himself away from the death by mere 20 minutes. But 3000 others were not that lucky that day. The underlining fact is that the world is increasingly getting uncertain and highly risk place to live on.
But is there a way out from this uncertainty? Not really, we don't have choices, but atleast we can make sure that our loved ones are not left stranded in such distressing times.
Do we have a tool to mitigate such risks? YES
