Best Story
I will always remember one of my first clients because of the impact I was able to have on his entire family and therefore the impact it had on me. It is also one of the main things that kept me going and made me really want to make this business work.
The client and his wife were in their 80s. They had not seen their children in many years because they lived across the country and neither the client or their children cold afford the trip. After helping them restructure their finances, I was able to double their income. A year later I receive a letter from the client saying he and his wife had gone to see their children and many of their grandchildren they had never seen before. One week after they returned home, his wife died. He said in his letter to me they would never have seen their family before she died if it wasn’t for me, and he and his entire family wanted to thank me.
That story became one of the main reasons I love the financial services industry. When we do it right, we make such a difference in our clients' lives which is far reaching to the people around them as well.
Origin Story
Having just moved 70 miles, a newly divorced single parent of two daughters, with no money and starting a business in an area I knew nothing about, it was important to me to show my daughters that anything is possible if you work hard, are ethical and care about others.
