Picture this – not too long ago, I found myself in the same place many of you. Eager to achieve financial freedom but no idea where to start. I was looking for the right answer in all the wrong places. Time was on my side, but I was worried I’d waste it doing the wrong thing. So, I began a journey to find a better way to build wealth. Wrong decision after wrong decision, mistake after mistake, I felt truly lost. I didn’t think I could find the right path. However, after countless hours of learning, I began to crack the code. I finally figured it out, and because of that, I’m getting closer to financial freedom by the day. It then became my mission to help guide those who were in the same situation as me. Those early in their journey towards financial freedom. I understood that not everyone wants to do it themselves. They wanted a relationship with a real human who could make them confident about their financial decisions. I thought about becoming a financial advisor at a big company, but that’s where another problem arose. These big companies (1) weren’t helping people early in their journey because they “didn’t have enough money”, and (2) even if they did have enough money, most of them were charging so much to help with so little. They required you to have hundreds of thousands of dollars to get started. They didn’t sell you an honest service; they sold products that made them big commissions. I didn’t want to go down that road, so I knew something needed to change. It was my duty to create a place where people could connect with a real human to talk about their struggles, vision, and purpose. They needed help with their complete financial life, not just one piece. That’s why I created Launch Wealth. It’s a place for career starters, business owners, young couples, and families to achieve financial freedom with a system that was built ‘for’ them. Launch Wealth is a financial advisory that provides fee-only service to the those who need it the most. We're here to help those on every step of their financial journey. The services we offer grow as your financial life does. We offer services with no account minimums, working with our clients at every step of the process and empowering them to create, plan, and achieve their desired money goals. That’s me. That’s my mission. That's my business. I'm just a regular guy making a difference in people’s (financial) lives.
