Ever since I can remember, my dream was to play pro football. I thought I was going to play all the way from high school, through college, and get an opportunity to play professionally. I dreamed of playing in Europe, or the CFL, or even the NFL. I was super driven. In my junior year at college, I played 7 games with a torn shoulder. In our 8th game I had a direct hit to my injured shoulder and passed out on the field. I had surgery after our season, fully recovered and was training for my senior season. Next thing I know, the COVID pandemic caused our season to be canceled and I had a difficult choice to make: I could either go back to school for another year, take out a loan, and risk injury OR I could do something to completely change the trajectory of my life. I was lost. So I reached out to a mentor of mine, Timmy Lavelle. Timmy told me there’s 3 things everyone thinks about before they go to sleep. #1 Did I hurt anyone today? #2 Am I healthy? And the 3rd thing people think about just before they go to bed, just before they close their eyes for the night, is their money. Ever since that conversation I knew I wanted to be the 3rd thing people think about before they go to sleep. So I started my career as a financial planner. In the beginning I had no idea what I was doing. In my first 3 months, I made $360. I had left my career as a star football player to chase this new trajectory and all I felt was embarrassed. This was rock bottom for me. So I took action. I chatted with a dozen of the best financial planners I knew. I read everything I could on how to grow my business. I invested in a business coach. In month 4, I got a few big clients and made over $25,000. I realized I could replicate this to do so much more for not only myself but for my clients. 2 years later I’ve helped over 100 clients and manage millions of dollars. I’ve created a life for myself at 25 that other people dream of having, in a fulfilling way that helps others, and makes financial freedom a reality for anyone who wants it.
