STORY
At the age of 16, I always had a big dream of owning something for myself one day and was looking for an opportunity to build my own brand, business, and legacy for my children.
I was your average high school student at A.R MacNeill Secondary, learning day by day, trying to get ahead, but no matter how hard I studied, I never could be the top of my class. After my graduation in 2016, I decided that school was not where I was meant to be.
I picked up my first job at McDonald's near Granville avenue and No.3, I started out as your typical employee, working full-time shifts, flipping hamburgers, stocking shelves, and just trying to get ahead to start my future. I was then later fortunate to be connected with one of the CEO of a company, now known today as, Freedom Mobile. I worked hard for more than 2 years, I struggled and learned, then finally was able to achieve a management position by the time I reached the age of 20.
In the meantime, as any other person would do, to look for better work, is to get a degree. I went to Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) to see if I could get some inspiration or see if there was any way to just get extra pay. One day, as I finished a class at KPU, I received a text from my friend that he can connect me with someone that is looking for help on a part-time or full-time basis. I gladly took a look without a second thought and went to see what the opportunity was all about. I met up with the hiring manager on the following day and I learned about an incredible opportunity to be part of the financial industry.
As I began working in the financial industry, with the knowledge I learned, I quickly started saving for myself first and got my wealth creation plan in place. I then started to go and educate more families on their finances, I sat down with family after family, learned about how this can make a difference in peoples lives. I was able to give other parent's dreams back for their children to go to university one day, I helped to restructure people's money into better investments and grow their money. Within only 1 year, I was already able to have a business partner with me to help serve even more families with their finances.
I am currently now a full-time business owner, I have an office space in the Bridgeport area near IKEA and providing world-class financial knowledge for families. My plan going forward is to open another office of my own in the Richmond area, and in the next couple of years, I am hoping to have more than 100 licensed advisors with me to help educate more families on wealth creation and tax-free retirement. I am also looking to give back more of my income to support local charities and host local events for the community.
