Have you and your family set your compass - vision, mission, values - for future family success?

In this episode, Jeff, Jeff, and Bill discuss:

• Trusting God’s plan and seeing others’ generosity in those plans.
• The breaks and acceleration of our money and our generosity.
• Successful succession planning in business and family.
• Making a world view shift in regards to raising our children.

Key Takeaways:

• Generosity is a powerful tool to change lives.
• Family was the first human institution established by which He’s going to make the world more beautiful and creative, and within which we can see God’s generous nature.
• Most failures within families are the result of poor communication.
• Start bringing your kids into your family giving when your children are young. If you didn’t, start now.

"I find that when the upper generations define their values, including their giving values, that those younger generations become more willing to accept those guidelines, and they will honor them, even if they disagree with them, and so it's all about having clarity, because clarity brings unity, and that's what they want." — Bill High

About Bill High: Bill is synonymous with three core values: Family, Legacy, and Generosity. He's facilitated workshops nationwide, focusing on the essence of family legacy and redefining its biblical meaning. Initially practicing law at a prominent Kansas City firm, Bill later founded one of the U.S.'s largest Christian foundations. He then pivoted to specialize in family legacy consulting. An accomplished author, one of his notable works is "Leadership NOT by the Book," co-written with David Green. At 7 Generation Legacy, Bill is renowned for assisting families in crafting enduring multi-generational legacy plans.

Bill High was brought up in a low-income family in rural Missouri and came to know Jesus at a young age. His generosity journey began as a teenager, faithfully tithing on everything he earned. Bill started the first half of his career in law before leaving to launch what would later become The Signatry, a donor-advised fund platform that connects “donors with doers” tackling some of the world’s biggest problems.

Through his work with The Signatry, Bill developed a passion for seeing individual families united by a clear and driving mission and vision that reflects God’s particular calling for them. In recent years, Bill has focused much of his efforts on consulting for and guiding families stewarding wealth through some of these considerations, and he had many practical considerations to share.
