What is a golden funnel?

Wealth is like butter.
If you have ever made butter at home, you know it takes time to make. It requires quality ingredients (and just a pinch of salt).
Sometimes, it’s challenging—maybe even a little messy.
But once it’s made, you feel a sense of satisfaction. You know how it enhances life—it looks golden, it tastes rich, and it makes everything better.
Here’s the problem:
Wealth, like butter, gets spread.
The more you spread butter, the thinner it gets. It stops enhancing your food. And the more your wealth is spread, the less it enhances your life—or the lives of those you care about.
Think about it.
The government — they tax it.
The courts and lawyers — they try to take it, charging hefty fees in the process.
The banks — they charge excessive interest, making money off your money to line their own pockets.
Even those you trust—business partners, and yes, sometimes even family members—can take advantage of your kindness and generosity.
By the time your wealth has been 'spread,' there’s barely enough left to create the life you envisioned for yourself, your family, or your legacy.
The Wealth Problem Nobody’s Talking About:
Traditional estate planning is like an upside-down funnel
- You work your whole life to build your wealth, and it’s concentrated at the top.
- But as it flows down to your heirs, it gets spilled out, drained—bit by bit.
Here’s how it works:
1. During your lifetime, your wealth is taxed every year.
2. Predators and creditors chip away at what you’ve worked so hard to build.
3. At your death, the funnel widens even more, and your wealth gets spread thinly — first it's taxed, then your bills get paid, and finally it gets spread out among your heirs, charities, and others.
4. And worst of all, no one knows or understands your values, life lessons, and the message you really want to leave for future generations.
Traditional estate plans stop here. They leave your wealth scattered and unable to support your family, your values, or your vision for the future.
Your legacy is lost !
A Better Way: The Golden Funnel TechniqueSM
What if you could turn the traditional estate plan on its head?
What if your wealth could be concentrated instead of scattered—so that it works for you, your family, and your legacy?
The Golden Funnel TechniqueSM is the revolutionary system that:
- Protects your wealth from taxes, creditors, and predators.
- Concentrates your wealth so it can grow and support your family for generations.
- Ensures your legacy is preserved—not just for today, but forever.
The Secret to Wealth Protection & Growth: The Funnel
The Golden Funnel TechniqueSM works by flipping the traditional estate planning funnel right-side up. Instead of letting your wealth drain away, you position yourself at the bottom of the funnel, where everything flows to you.
And for true wealth protection, you don’t just need one funnel—you need multiple funnels that work together to:
1. Create Wealth
2. Protect Your Assets
3. Minimize Taxes
4. Plan for Succession
5. Avoid Estate Taxes
6. Build a Lasting Legacy

This is not just another estate plan. This is an integral part of a wealth protection plan intended for those who want to make sure that their legacy lasts. It’s for those who are ready to improve the plan that they have.

What are you saving?
The true value of a wealth protection plan that uses The Golden Funnel TechniqueSM and how much it can save you and your family far exceeds a will-based estate plan (and even most revocable trust-based estate plans)! Here are just a few of the areas where you and your family can see savings:
· tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees;
· thousands of dollars in costs by avoiding probate;
· minimize or eliminate estate taxes
– saving at least hundreds of thousands of dollars over the life of the plan (for many families, this can amount to millions of dollars in savings);
· more step-up in cost basis than is offered by traditional, inverted funnel estate plans (this one feature can save your family hundreds of thousands of dollars);
In fact, we have crunched the numbers for an estate worth $1 million, and the Golden Funnel TechniqueSM can save an estimated $3.9 million over the 90-year lifetime of the plan.
Larger estates save substantially more!
That represents a return on the cost of the plan of more than 330 times. What investment can give you and your family a 330 X return?
This isn’t just theory—it’s a step-by-step system that has helped countless families protect their wealth, reduce taxes, and create legacies that last for generations.
