00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.980
Welcome back to Vision Pros. This one's going

00:00:01.980 --> 00:00:04.400
to be a treat. We have Jaden Sterling calling

00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:06.660
in from British Columbia. Jaden, welcome to the

00:00:06.660 --> 00:00:09.679
show. Would you please introduce yourself? Yeah,

00:00:09.699 --> 00:00:12.660
Sue, thank you so much for having me. I am an

00:00:12.660 --> 00:00:16.780
entrepreneur and a lifetime entrepreneur. Actually,

00:00:16.899 --> 00:00:20.219
no, spent 10 years in corporate. So I spent the

00:00:20.219 --> 00:00:22.980
decade of my 20s in corporate America working

00:00:22.980 --> 00:00:25.059
for Citigroup in Maryland, some of the biggest

00:00:25.059 --> 00:00:28.539
Wall Street firms. But since then, since I was

00:00:28.539 --> 00:00:32.240
30, so a long time now, I've been a serial entrepreneur

00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:36.240
and working toward helping people take control

00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:39.020
of their finances and experience financial freedom.

00:00:39.140 --> 00:00:43.159
That's our number one thing. Wow, that's fantastic.

00:00:43.539 --> 00:00:48.200
And you did your time in corporate. Yes. Well,

00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:49.840
tell me about your vision for your business.

00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:54.020
So the vision we set out, oh gosh, it's been

00:00:54.020 --> 00:01:00.560
about 12 years to assist people to take control

00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:02.820
of their money. You know, I recognize working

00:01:02.820 --> 00:01:05.420
on Wall Street that... The industry is set up

00:01:05.420 --> 00:01:07.540
to make money off of people, not for people.

00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:10.560
And because of the jargon that is used and the

00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:12.900
acronyms, it's very difficult and intimidating

00:01:12.900 --> 00:01:16.420
for a lot of people to invest their own money.

00:01:16.620 --> 00:01:19.799
So we set out, I said to my partners, you know,

00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:23.219
if we could create software and trainings to

00:01:23.219 --> 00:01:26.540
help people find winning stocks in two clicks

00:01:26.540 --> 00:01:30.379
or less, we'd really have something. So that

00:01:30.379 --> 00:01:37.099
was the vision. our goal is to assist uh people

00:01:37.099 --> 00:01:40.079
around the world we now have 4 000 people members

00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:43.700
on our platform in i think we're up to 15 different

00:01:43.700 --> 00:01:48.260
countries right now wow well done that's amazing

00:01:48.260 --> 00:01:51.480
oh my goodness that's that's fantastic tell me

00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:55.019
where did this vision come from it's interesting

00:01:55.019 --> 00:01:59.120
i um when i was 14 i had an epiphany have you

00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:01.739
ever had an epiphany oh yeah That's how I got

00:02:01.739 --> 00:02:04.280
here. That's how you got there. Exactly. So,

00:02:04.299 --> 00:02:06.480
you know, in that situation, time stands still.

00:02:07.019 --> 00:02:09.819
And for me, time stood still. It's funny. I was

00:02:09.819 --> 00:02:11.419
in my mother's town home and I was coming down

00:02:11.419 --> 00:02:13.520
the stairs. All of a sudden, OK, I'm totally

00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:15.819
dating myself. But there was a big boom box sitting

00:02:15.819 --> 00:02:17.780
on her dining room table. Remember back in the

00:02:17.780 --> 00:02:20.659
day? Oh, yeah. And I don't know. And then I'm

00:02:20.659 --> 00:02:24.000
pushing even more. A cassette was playing. Oh,

00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:28.689
yeah. This cassette was Wayne Dyer. And I found

00:02:28.689 --> 00:02:31.409
myself transfixed in front of this player listening

00:02:31.409 --> 00:02:33.949
to Wayne Dyer speaking. And what was really strange

00:02:33.949 --> 00:02:38.090
about this, Sue, no one was in the house. So

00:02:38.090 --> 00:02:41.069
this was playing automatically. I came down the

00:02:41.069 --> 00:02:43.789
stairs. I'm standing in front of this. And I

00:02:43.789 --> 00:02:46.389
knew or I heard or I felt, I don't know the exact

00:02:46.389 --> 00:02:49.009
details, but three things came through very clearly.

00:02:49.150 --> 00:02:51.449
The first one was that I would be speaking on

00:02:51.449 --> 00:02:54.490
stages around the world. The second thing was

00:02:54.490 --> 00:02:57.039
that I would be teaching. people about money

00:02:57.039 --> 00:02:59.960
how to be empowered by money not enslaved by

00:02:59.960 --> 00:03:02.780
it and lastly i was told that i would be teaching

00:03:02.780 --> 00:03:05.400
from personal experience not from a book i read

00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:09.840
or course that i took so my vision came directly

00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:11.539
from i don't know whatever you want to call it

00:03:11.539 --> 00:03:13.879
source the universe you know what have you my

00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:16.240
higher self it doesn't matter what we call it

00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:18.360
i guess matters more of what we that we call

00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:22.060
on it and that's where it came from so that's

00:03:22.060 --> 00:03:25.360
i've just lived out my entire purpose in my life

00:03:25.710 --> 00:03:28.330
knowing, you know, having to really master money,

00:03:28.430 --> 00:03:31.210
building a eight -figure business over seven

00:03:31.210 --> 00:03:37.110
years in the financial space, using that knowledge

00:03:37.110 --> 00:03:40.129
and now teaching it to as many people as I can.

00:03:40.289 --> 00:03:44.229
That is amazing. Like that literally directed

00:03:44.229 --> 00:03:47.870
your whole life from 14 on. Absolutely. 100%.

00:03:47.870 --> 00:03:51.349
That's amazing. That's so cool. All right. What

00:03:51.349 --> 00:03:53.150
would you say, like, what is your why behind

00:03:53.150 --> 00:03:57.680
this? well, my why is my purpose. It's exactly

00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:01.120
what I'm here for. It's why I show up every single

00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:05.560
day is, again, because I was basically, I don't

00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:09.759
like to say told, but I just felt very clearly

00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:11.879
on the inside. I believe we create a blueprint

00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:15.199
before we come over. And it was definitely a

00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:17.600
part of my blueprint to do this. So my why is

00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:23.629
to fulfill my mission while I'm here. Yeah. That's

00:04:23.629 --> 00:04:27.089
an incredible thing. So from 14, don't know how

00:04:27.089 --> 00:04:29.230
old you are. It's been a few years. And that

00:04:29.230 --> 00:04:33.069
why has held you all that time. Yes. And you

00:04:33.069 --> 00:04:36.170
were faithful to it. Yes, 100%. That's really

00:04:36.170 --> 00:04:38.329
something. And starting a business, I mean, Wall

00:04:38.329 --> 00:04:41.569
Street, that's not fun. No. You survived through

00:04:41.569 --> 00:04:45.529
a decade of that to do this. And then building

00:04:45.529 --> 00:04:47.449
your own business, obviously not easy all the

00:04:47.449 --> 00:04:51.519
time. That's a very, very powerful why to have

00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:54.300
helped you hold the course. And what was interesting,

00:04:54.420 --> 00:04:57.139
my training, my real financial training came

00:04:57.139 --> 00:05:01.459
from my clients, not from what the brokerage

00:05:01.459 --> 00:05:04.160
firms are wanting me to sell and liquidate my

00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:06.259
clients' assets. And guess what? They came into

00:05:06.259 --> 00:05:09.879
the brokerage firm with a handful of stocks.

00:05:10.860 --> 00:05:13.699
So back in the 1990s, it was like John Deere,

00:05:13.819 --> 00:05:16.850
IBM, some of the really big companies. And that

00:05:16.850 --> 00:05:20.110
was millions of dollars invested in these individual

00:05:20.110 --> 00:05:23.550
companies. And I just started to recognize, wow,

00:05:23.730 --> 00:05:25.689
there is something to this, you know, rather

00:05:25.689 --> 00:05:29.569
than diversification. And, you know, it wasn't

00:05:29.569 --> 00:05:32.709
until we were told liquidate those assets and

00:05:32.709 --> 00:05:36.069
and buy mutual funds and package products and

00:05:36.069 --> 00:05:38.230
manage money and unit investment trusts and things.

00:05:38.350 --> 00:05:41.209
So we we took them from a concentrated portfolio

00:05:41.209 --> 00:05:47.009
to this overly diversified. But the portfolio

00:05:47.009 --> 00:05:48.750
then was earning money for the brokerage firm,

00:05:48.850 --> 00:05:52.269
not for the client. And when I woke up to that,

00:05:52.269 --> 00:05:55.209
Sue, I was like, oh, no, this is. So that's why

00:05:55.209 --> 00:05:58.230
I got out of the business when I did and started

00:05:58.230 --> 00:06:01.990
implementing that strategy of targeted investing,

00:06:02.449 --> 00:06:05.629
you know, focused investing. And it's changed

00:06:05.629 --> 00:06:07.709
my life and we've changed the lives of thousands

00:06:07.709 --> 00:06:10.430
and thousands of people. That's incredible. You

00:06:10.430 --> 00:06:12.730
had a moment, a line in the sand moment. You're

00:06:12.730 --> 00:06:14.829
like, this is not on my watch. We're not doing

00:06:14.829 --> 00:06:17.790
this. Totally. 100%. You had a little bit of

00:06:17.790 --> 00:06:20.509
righteous anger, you know? Yeah, exactly. You

00:06:20.509 --> 00:06:23.209
know? I did. I still do. I mean, the industry

00:06:23.209 --> 00:06:28.370
hasn't changed a bit, you know? It's still exactly

00:06:28.370 --> 00:06:31.910
the way they were doing things back then that

00:06:31.910 --> 00:06:35.250
they're doing today. So people, you know, I just

00:06:35.250 --> 00:06:39.040
think the... people can have such and people

00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:41.620
want financial freedom right no one wants to

00:06:41.620 --> 00:06:44.480
be enslaved but it was interesting like when

00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:47.819
i went to college at american university i went

00:06:47.819 --> 00:06:50.339
i picked all my classes and the very last table

00:06:50.339 --> 00:06:53.980
was the credit card table the mastercard oh here

00:06:53.980 --> 00:06:56.879
you've you've earned a 500 i'm like what is this

00:06:56.879 --> 00:06:59.339
i didn't even know i was 18 years old had no

00:06:59.339 --> 00:07:02.660
idea what a credit card was didn't have a job.

00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:05.199
Like it was just crazy that I even got that.

00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:08.920
Right. And, and yet they're wanting to, the system

00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:11.899
wants to enslave people in a debt -based economy

00:07:11.899 --> 00:07:14.699
to keep you working. And this goes way back,

00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:17.480
you know, decades and hundreds and hundreds of

00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:20.920
years as to how this system is set up. So we,

00:07:20.939 --> 00:07:23.459
we have to, and I love what you're doing and

00:07:23.459 --> 00:07:25.660
sharing with people, there's another way to go

00:07:25.660 --> 00:07:27.660
about life. You know, there's another way to

00:07:27.660 --> 00:07:30.730
do things. the very first step entrepreneurship

00:07:30.730 --> 00:07:34.389
is that. It's someone saying, okay, I'm going

00:07:34.389 --> 00:07:36.490
to forget this J -O -B, which stands for just

00:07:36.490 --> 00:07:40.029
over broke anyway. And most employees are paying

00:07:40.029 --> 00:07:44.750
the highest income taxes ever, rather than having

00:07:44.750 --> 00:07:49.769
an LLC or an S -Corp or some type of entity established

00:07:49.769 --> 00:07:56.709
that you work for and can funnel a lot of tax

00:07:56.709 --> 00:07:58.709
deductions through. So that's a whole nother

00:07:59.050 --> 00:08:01.230
we can talk about at some point. But anyway,

00:08:01.329 --> 00:08:03.930
yeah. We definitely want to, yeah. So many ways

00:08:03.930 --> 00:08:07.129
to go about this. That's fantastic. I'm so glad

00:08:07.129 --> 00:08:09.069
you're out there doing what you're doing. Thank

00:08:09.069 --> 00:08:12.629
you. You know, we need some good guys on our

00:08:12.629 --> 00:08:17.750
side, right? Yes. Yeah. Fantastic. Well, I can't

00:08:17.750 --> 00:08:19.930
wait to have you back. I'm looking forward to

00:08:19.930 --> 00:08:22.430
