What is a Wealth Hacker™

Wealth Hackers™ relentlessly seek to grow their financial well-being by using non-conventional means.

My Wealth Hacker™ story

I knew there had to be a better way.

Something different and unprecedented.

Something my friends and family wouldn’t quite understand.

Something I was hesitant to share at networking functions and public gatherings because most people wouldn’t get it.

Making money is something anyone can do.

But how do you make MORE money than you can comprehend and do so in a fashion that is fun, cutting-edge, and seems effortless?

Failures do not define me. I charge ahead determined to make my future bigger than my past.

Introducing Wealth Hacking

Wealth Hackers™ look at life through a different lens.

They might not know exactly where they are going or what their future holds, but they are committed to the belief there is something bigger and better out there.

Timeline

Click the arrows to move through the timeline

Age 9

1985

Entreprenuer in the making…. Tried to sell baseball cards on my grandma’s front porch. Didn’t sell one.

Age 17

1995

I needed extra cash for the summer so I decided to flip burgers at McDonald’s.

Age 18

1996

Dropped out of college, landed a data-entry job at my mom’s company.

Age 19

1997

Joined the Army National Guard because my life was going nowhere.

Age 20-23

1999

Racked up over $30k of credit card and student loan debt even though the military paid for my school and I worked 20 hours per week.

Age 24

2002

3rd month of being a financial advisor and my take-home pay for the month was $841. The only reason I survived was because I was driving my grandma’s 1998 Chevy Lumina “The Lu” and still shared a house with 3 of my buddies from college.

Age 25

2003

Read Rich Dad, Poor Dad. Rocked my world.

Age 26

2004

Attempted 1st MLM. Bought a lot of vitamins but bank account was still very unhealthy since I didn’t make any money.

Age 27

2005

Got shipped to Iraq for a what I called a “Fun vacation in the sand.” Made it back safe but didn’t learn my lessons with MLM so tried again. Different company, same lack luster result.

Age 28

2006

Attempted 1st real estate deal. Remember bragging to friend I would own 12+ properties in 1 year. Almost lost my butt on the 1st deal and that ended my real estate empire.

Age 29

2007

Conducted several planning meetings with a potential partner about launching a marathon race in our area. I hate running so that makes sense. Nothing happened.

Age 30

2008

My brokerage firm gets bought out. I receive an offer from Merrill Lynch to start a new firm in my area with a $198,000 bonus attached to it. My existing firm offers me $40,000 just to stay put. What did I do instead?

I turned down both offers and left to co-found my investment firm.

Later that year I read an article in a financial planner magazine about how creating a blog is the best thing you can do to differentiate yourself. I’m all in! Except I really don’t know what a blog is and I’ve never been on social media.

July of 2008 GoodFinancialCents.com is born.

Age 31

2009

I make my first $100 from Google Adsense in Jan 2009.

Age 32

2010

Adsense has grown from $100 to $4,392.74. Game on.

Age 33

2011

I form my own wealth management firm to get away from compliance so I can focus more on my blog. I gave up $36k of recurring revenue to make that switch but I knew it would grow exponentially. It did.

Age 34

2012

Through a cold email I get an offer of $150k cash to buy my blog. Sounds tempting but I know I’m on a mission that isn’t done so I respectfully decline.

I read 4 Hour Work Week and within a few months I hire my 1st virtual assistant.

Age 35

2013

My book, Soldier of Finance, is published. I launched my life insurance niche site and within 9 months it’s on pace to make $100k in revenue. Online income reaches $115k for the entire 2012 year. It has 3x’d in only 2 years.

Age 37

2015

Online business revenue reaches 55% of my financial planning practice revenue.

Age 38:

2016

Online revenue almost triples reaching $730,000.  I finally crack $100k in revenue in one month of all of my business combined. I reduce the hours in the office to 16 hours per week.

Age 39

2017

Online revenue surpasses $1.5 million.  Total business revenue exceeds $2 million.  I reduce my hours in the office to less than 8 hours per week before moving to Nashville and becoming a location independent CEO.

Age 40

2018

Online revenue exceeds $200k in one month for the 1st time. I receive and turn down an offer to sell my blog for $10 million. Why? Because my mission hasn’t been completed yet.
