DETROIT, Feb. 16, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Arab American Women's Business Council (AAWBC) will hold its first quarterly networking event of the year on Thursday, March 8, 2012, at the Cedar Grill, 5377 Crooks Road, Troy, MI 48098, from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m.
Gregory J. Zub, CLU, Wealth Management Advisor with Northwestern Mutual, will present "The Top 1% Planning Tools." He will focus on the tips and tools used by the financial top 1% of our society to effectively plan for your financial future:
- Maintaining liquidity;
- Insight on how to add security to your financial planning (personal and business);
- Strategies to be successful in not outliving your savings;
- Protecting your assets (e.g., Long-Term Care Insurance).
Zub has been with Northwestern Mutual Financial Network since 1993. Born and raised in Troy, MI, he received a Bachelor of Science degree from Oakland University.
He says, "Long-term financial success doesn't happen by chance. Each area of your financial life can have an impact—positive or negative—on your other goals. Understanding these interrelationships is important as you deal with ongoing economic issues. Financial planning is a life-long process that assists you and your family in taking control of your financial future. By setting financial goals, developing strategies, and monitoring the progress on a regular basis, the likelihood of achieving your results is greatly increased."
