John Navin's Story

Nearly 17 years ago, John Navin & Associates was founded on three core values that John holds very dear – financial growth, physical growth and personal growth. While growth in and of itself is important, growing within these three areas increases the value that can be offered to others and the overall value of one’s existence. It is with these three principals that John has been able to build an incredible company that improves the lives of his clients and communities far beyond the recognition and awards.

Financially, John has helped people make the right investment choices for them and helped secure their financial future by providing clarity, organization, safety and direction. By constantly learning and working with the client’s other advisors, John is able to utilize his talents to help his clients create the life they want to live now and in the future.

Physically, John feels health is one of most important assets to have and maintain. Simply saving and making good investment choices is not enough if one can’t enjoy any of it. He believes in and lives an active life to benefit himself, his family, his clients, and inspires others to do the same. Having lost over 50 pounds he understands how our physical health impacts our choices, our self-esteem, our energy levels, our clarity and confidence. With long term goals of becoming an Ironman he hopes to get people involved at any fitness level – from walking to marathons to being their own Ironman, whatever their definition may be.

Spiritually for John encompasses many aspects. Mental health and wealth; family values; community involvement and giving back; charity; and of course, the power of something bigger than ourselves. He believes that giving-back is what truly makes difference. By being involved and involving his business colleagues and clients in community outreach programs, he hopes to leave a footprint that will last much longer than his time.

To Have Succeeded
To laugh often and love much:
To win respect of intelligent people
And the affection of children;
To earn the approbation of honest critics
And endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;
To give one's self;
To leave the world a little better,
Whether by a healthy child,
A garden patch,
Or redeemed social condition;
To have played and laughed with enthusiasm
And sung with exultation;
To know even one life has breathed easier
Because you have lived...
This is to have succeeded.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
