Welcome To Life Success & Legacy

Mike Everett and Chris Bay

For many of us, a significant barrier to creating the life we want for ourselves and our families is money.  Of course, wisdom tells us financial gain alone is not the answer.  With an emphasis on education and developing trusting relationships, our team helps you increase the level of clarity and purpose you have for your life.

We then design a personalized Infinite Banking Concept (IBC) Strategy to support your vision. How do we know this works?  Each one of us at Life Success & Legacy was in your shoes at one time learning about the power of IBC. Now, we help others create the life they want.

Why does Life Success & Legacy Exist?

To inspire financial hope and freedom by revealing little-known truths about money while investing in trusting, long-term relationships.
