Meet Wealth Coach Rick Williams: Expert in Trust-Based Asset Protection
Rick Williams brings decades of experience helping entrepreneurs transition from an employee mindset to wealth-building through strategic asset ownership and corporate structures. As an entrepreneur wealth coach, Rick specializes in teaching the “control everything own nothing” methodology that allows business owners to achieve financial empowerment while protecting their assets.
“We live like the Trumps, we live like the DuPonts, we live like the Kennedys” – Rick explains how the wealthy operate through trust structures while most people remain trapped in traditional ownership models.
Strategic Wealth Building: The “Control Everything Own Nothing” Philosophy (02:15)
Rick breaks down the fundamental difference between how wealthy individuals approach asset ownership versus the average person. The “own nothing control everything” concept isn’t about avoiding responsibility – it’s about intelligent asset protection and tax reduction strategies.
“99% of the world is not living out of trust, that means when you come into a meeting, you don’t know what’s going on.” This revolutionary approach addresses the unique challenges entrepreneurs face when building sustainable wealth.
Why Trusts Are Essential for Financial Freedom (18:45)
“The way most people are set up is they set up like James Brown instead of like Aretha Franklin” – Rick uses this powerful analogy to explain how proper estate planning through trusts can prevent the 17-year probate nightmare that James Brown’s estate endured versus Franklin’s more strategic approach.
Tax Credits and Strategic Asset Management (35:20)
Drawing from Donald Trump’s televised explanation of tax credits during the 2020 debates, Rick demonstrates how wealthy individuals leverage legitimate tax strategies: “I’m from the private sector, none of us want to pay taxes unless you’re stupid.”
