I am a big believer in sharing knowledge and information. I often think of what I know now and how much further in life I could have been, had I known the same years earlier. Many people may learn some of this information at some point, but they may also then question, What if I knew this earlier? Most will never learn this information and will be held behind because of it. I believe that we live once, so why not live to the fullest potential and have the best life and give our next generation the biggest head start possible. Many people do not think this way because they are not aware that there are simple things they can do to get ahead.

A lot of people are not concerned in additional knowledge and learn what they need to, to get their job and keep their job. They feel there are others that should know this information and that when they need to use these services, someone else will help them and the assumption is that the people they trust to provide this information understand how to use this knowledge and that they will work in their best interest. This is not always the case and rarely is. People should have basic knowledge of financial products and services on their own so that they know what’s in their best interest and they need to understand how to use these for their best benefit. You need to have some control in one of the most important areas of your life. People often go to the bank for financial advice, not realizing that the bank is a business looking to bring in the largest profits and increase their revenues year over year. If their helping you save time and money negatively impacts their goals of increasing revenues year over year, do you really think they will do the former? The people who work at the bank, although good people, work for the bank. They have to do what their employer instructs them to and they have to use the products and services the bank provides them to use. If you as a consumer understand how these products and services work yourself and know how you use it to your benefit, you as an individual will benefit greatly. You can still work with the same bank but now you can tell them how you want to use the product or service to give you the best benefit. The institutions will not teach you how to benefit if it negatively impacts them. They will also market certain products or services to increase their revenue and if you do not understand them, you may be losing to make them more profitable.

There is a reason there is a saying “Knowledge is Power”. It really is. It gives you the power to know what is best for you and the power to succeed more that you had thought prior to having the knowledge. People go to school to get a diploma, a degree, a certificate so they can earn a living via a job. If you can spend time and money to learn so you can earn, why not spend a little time and money so you can keep more of your hard earned money. I have structured an 8 hour, 1 day course that I plan to run one Saturday a month to give you the knowledge you need to understand how mortgages work, how insurance works, how investments work, how to use credit and debt correctly. Financial decisions determine how you will live, where you will live, the car you will drive, your children’s extra curricular activities, their future schooling, where and how you travel, etc. I think it is worth 8 hours of your life and at a cost of $150 tax inclusive, it is an extremely small investment to learn something you can use immediately and save hundreds of thousands over your lifetime. I have changed numerous lives working with my clients over the past number of years. By running this program, I can extend my reach and change many more lives via education.
