The Hanhausen Group is a network of business professionals dedicated to continuous education and the accumulation of knowledge. We work with individuals, groups, teams and companies to help them embody the skills required for the design of a fundamental strategy, a plan of action. In our work we reveal what strategic knowledge needs to be learned or accumulated to increase the value of offers and practices to build identities of trust and value.

Know Your Numbers: A Mature Talk About Money
- Do you know how much money you need at retirement?
- Are you on track to have the money to retire?
- Are you saving enough each year?
- Do you know what enough is?
If you don't know the answers to these questions you are in danger. Knowing your numbers is not just a good idea, but essential to living a good life. Much of the Baby Boomer generation overspent and under saved - leaving them with a life filled with compromises. They do not have enough money to retire and pay for their current lifestyle. When asked the question how much money is enough, most people cannot answer it. Don't leave yourself without an answer to that question.
How much money is enough can be a very personal question and at the same time there are fundamentals in play that cannot be ignored. You can disrespect fundamental laws, principles and mechanisms but not the consequences. If you currently require $100,000 in pretax annual income you will need to have saved $2,500,000 of capital at work. If this answer is not obvious to you, please attend our session.
This session is designed for people between the ages of 22 and 52 years old who are ambitious about their future and working to produce top 1% annual income for competitive advantage and superior value. You have 10,000 working days in your career - don't waste another one by not knowing if you are on track or not.
We invite you to join us for a mature talk about money. We hold this session throughout the year in the Greater Philadelphia Area.

Commitment Based Management
We find most companies are limited and restricted in a culture of “best effort”. It is not a culture of commitments and promises. This prohibits the company from producing competitive advantage, superior value and top performance. Over the past 16 years we have worked with teams and individuals to shift their culture to one of commitments and promises. Through a series of linguistic exercises we work with people to embody practices increasing the level of coordination and cooperation required in today’s competitive markets.
