Editor's Notes
So the movement is how we put our purpose into action.
And it starts really simply. We need to change the conversation about money.
Many people think financial planning isn’t for them. Or they’re ashamed. By getting them to start talking about financial stress, we can help people move from stress to confidence, and businesses toward smart growth.
Onward and upward, one step at a time.
And what happens when someone joins the movement?
Well, what we really want people to do is to take action. For themselves and for the people they care about.
The first step is joining, which they can do at onUp.com.
Here they can also take the mental wealth quiz – where they’ll learn more about financial stress and confidence (and, we hope, be inspired to learn more).
They can also sign up for a newsletter. You see, what we’re trying to do is show that financial confidence doesn’t have to be difficult or daunting. It’s about taking small steps.
So after they’ve signed up, they’ll receive a welcome email – which will encourage them to learn more. It will direct them to the SunTrust Resource Center, where they can read articles, download tools and find links to online solutions.
By encouraging people to take small steps we can lead them away from financial stress so that they can be present in the life-enhancing moments that they truly care about out. For us, that’s a life well spent.
And here’s what the steps from stress to confidence look like.
These steps are different for everyone, but we’ve identified key phases and the actions that you need to complete before you can legitimately move into the next phase.
Everyone starts in a different place according to their circumstances – but by taking the appropriate actions people progress up the staircase towards a life well spent – away from financial stress.
Take a look at the staircase…does some of this look familiar? Where do you think your starting point is. [insert personal anecdote: e.g. “ for me, I have the basics in place, but I know I need to be thinking about the future…”]
Today I’ve taken you through what our movement is and how we want to reach many millions of Americans. But now I want to talk about you.
I want you to take a moment and think about what’s most important to you. Either now or in the future. Maybe you’d like a bigger home, or to learn a language and travel – maybe you’d just like to spend more time with your family and less time at work. And now think about financial confidence –and if you had complete confidence in your financial situation how liberating that would be. That’s what onUp is about.
The movement is all about focusing on what really matters to you and then taking steps to make it happen. We’ve tried to make this as simple as possible—and you’ve seen what onup.com has to offer. So check out the site –take the quiz, join the movement.
By doing this, you’re starting the conversation and taking steps…and each step gets you closer to things that really matter.
Finally, the journey to financial confidence is something that we want everyone to experience. So don’t keep it to yourself! Spread the word!
Together we can change the lives of millions of Americans!
Thank you.
