This past Friday, Nicole and I were at a friends
surprise birthday party.
While at the party, I got to talking to a couple
who are about to married in a few months.
They are about the same age as Nicole and I and
live in the building next to us.
Later in the evening and a few wines later the
wife to be asked me what I do for a living.
I told her I inspire and teach people investing
skills and knowledge that will help them take
advantage of the right opportunities and feel like
they are in control of their financial destiny to
create more wealth, freedom and options.
Intrigued, she asked if I were a financial advisor
or knew a good one.
I smiled and told her I used to be a financial
professional and left the industry in 2008 to
start my own thing (OptionSIZZLE) to help people
like her take back control of their money and fire
their financial advisor.
I explained that I was sick of watching investors
make mistakes, bleed and lose money while
professionals circle investors like vultures only
focused on collecting their fees and leaving
clients worse than when they found them down the
road.
A little taken back, I explained a simple way that
they could manage their money with a low fee
market index fund or ETF, which would save them
many of thousands of dollars over the years and
would have more control of their money.
She said that sounds great, but she's not
confident that they could do it themselves or that
her fiancé would be on board.
It's a tough sell to convince a 30
something-year-old to take control of their money
when all their life they've been told to let
someone else do it.
I see it similar to life.
We all know down the road; we will face age,
disease and death.
Early in life for most of us, it's too far down
the road to see it until one day you wake up, and
it's actually in the distance.
It's the same with managing your money and making
your own investment decisions; most people have to
go down the dark road and get mugged to create
that spark in their ass to learn how to do it
themselves.
The financial industry doesn't make it easy by
discouraging people from doing it themselves and
reiterating outdated financial information and
approaches that force investors into their web.
However, the system is starting to force people to
think outside the box to seek returns because
risk-free rates are at zero.
If you're sick of making mistakes, bleeding,
losing money and being ripped off by financial
professionals, then I can teach you how to stop it
and overcome the two biggest hurdles that cause
most to lose money.
Your first step in the process is reading this
