What This Actually Is
Let me be straight about what you’d be doing, because there’s a lot of vague “opportunity” pitches out there and I don’t want to be one of them.
You would become a licensed financial professional working independently. The work involves helping families plan for retirement, protect their loved ones, and build long-term wealth using a system I’ve been using myself and teaching others. You will be your own boss. You will work from home. You will set your own hours.
The licensing process takes about 2 to 3 weeks in most states. I will walk you through it. After that, you’ll have access to a full training program, an online learning portal, marketing materials, one-on-one mentorship with me, group coaching, and a community of partners who are doing the same work across the country.
This is commission-based. There are some startup costs: licensing fees, Errors and Omissions insurance, membership fees. I’ll go over all of it with you on our first call, before you commit to anything. No surprises.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Most of my partners started with none. What matters is that you’re willing to learn and willing to follow a process.
If you can have a casual conversation with a friend, you can do this. Almost everyone who does well in this work started out calling themselves an introvert with no talent for talking to people. Talking with families about their finances is a skill, and skills can be learned. We train you on it.
No, not in the way most people think about selling. What we offer is financial education. In the course of that education, families see solutions that can move them toward a better future, and most of them want to work toward that future on their own initiative. Your job is to teach and to guide, not to convince anyone of anything.
Yes. State licensing fees, Errors and Omissions insurance, and a membership. We will go through every cost in detail before you commit to anything.
Yes. You are an independent contractor (1099), and your earnings reflect the effort and time you put in. There is no salary and no cap.
No. You will be a licensed independent professional working with reputable national financial companies. I understand why people ask this question, and I’d rather answer it directly than dodge it. I’ll explain exactly how the business model works on our first call, and you can decide for yourself.
8 to 10 hours a week is enough to get started. From there, you can scale it up at your own pace.
Yes. Most partners start that way. Evenings and weekends work well.
No. The work is fully remote. You only need reliable internet and phone service. This works in all 50 states and in Canada.
In my experience, people respond well when you offer them something that can genuinely improve their future. They want to hear more, not less. The relationships that get strained are usually the ones where someone is pushing a product. This work is different. You’re offering education first, and most people are glad you brought it up. If someone isn’t interested, you move on. That’s it.
Then it’s not, and that’s fine. The first call we have together is partly designed to figure that out. By the end of it, both of us should have a clear sense of whether this makes sense for you. If it doesn’t, no hard feelings on my end and I hope none on yours.
That’s a fair question, and I’d rather answer it honestly than wave it off. Some people who start this work don’t see it through. Usually it’s because they didn’t put in the time, or they decided it wasn’t for them. Both are okay outcomes. The question worth asking alongside “what if I fail?” is “what if I don’t try, and a year from now I’m in the same spot I am today?” Only you can weigh those two against each other.
I personally review every submission. I’ll reach out within 1 to 2 business days to schedule a conversation. No pressure, no pitch, just a chance for both of us to figure out if this is a fit.
What to expect, time-wise
Who I Am
ABOUT ME
A few years ago I was a software engineer and a small business owner. By any measure on paper, I was doing fine. In reality, I was struggling with my own finances and didn’t know how to fix them. I knew how to write code and run a business. I did not know how to plan a financial future.
Then I learned a system. I applied it to my own life first, and it changed how I thought about money. About a year ago, I decided to make this work my full focus, so I could help other families do the same thing.
