Canadian financial expert’s new book outlines a path for thinking differently about risk, and embracing action to create lasting financial freedom debuts as Amazon.ca Best Seller.

Vancouver, British Columbia – Knowing the difference between a good risk and a bad risk is vital in the world of investment and retirement planning. It takes a combination of art and science to create a process of decision-making that will increase the chance for reaching one’s financial goals. It’s that exact refined process that author and investment advisor Maili Wong shares in her new book Smart Risk: Invest Like the Wealthy to Achieve a Work-Optional Life.

Smart Risk details how to overcome challenges to achieve lifelong financial goals using the “Five P’s” – Purpose, People, Plan, Perspective and Positive Action – the foundation of the “Smart Risk Investing Roadmap.” When followed closely, this roadmap and investment strategy will help today’s investors navigate the twists and turns in their lives, and overcome the obstacles, fears and emotions that may be holding them back.

“Imagine waking up every day with the freedom to live the lifestyle you choose regardless of market conditions and where going to work is by choice and not a necessity,” says Wong. “This is the meaning of a Work-Optional Life and it starts with learning to take Smart Risks that continuously stack the odds in your favour.”

Wong’s book outlines her common sense, step-by-step approach while at the same time, sharing valuable lessons she’s learned investing for the ultra-wealthy. Smart Risk is for any individual or couple looking for financial stability both in their own future and their family’s future.

“Maili Wong’s Smart Risk is the smart choice for any person or family attempting to look over the horizon at their financial future.
