What's holding you back from improving your finances?
“If you want different results, you’ve got to do different.” 🔁 It’s not a famous quote, but it’s one that hits home — because deep down, we all know it’s true. When I first started on my journey, all I wanted was to make lots of money without sacrificing my health or relationships. 💡 Financial freedom was just an idea — something other people had, not something I could touch. But years later, I realized this is where I began… - 📚 I lacked financial education — I didn’t know how money worked, so I couldn’t make it work for me. - 🏃‍♂️ I followed mainstream advice: work hard, save more, pay down my mortgage ASAP, max out RRSPs and TFSAs, and buy company stock options. - I believed pre-construction properties were “can’t miss” investments because prices would always rise. - I tracked every expense against my income — but it just turned me into a penny pincher who wasn’t enjoying life. - I thought 80+ hour workweeks were the path to bigger paycheques and financial security. - And I assumed real estate investing was simply “buy, rent, pray,” then wait 30 years for the mortgage to be paid off. Looking back, all of that was soul-crushing. And that’s exactly why I’m such a passionate advocate for financial education now — because it changes everything. 🌱 👉 So, let’s start with you: what’s holding you back right now from reaching the next level — not just the next deal, but true financial freedom?

Speaking from personal experience and your heart, love it!
💡 Lease Option Strategy (a.k.a. Rent-to-Own)
With lease options, you control a property without owning it. You agree to lease the property with the option to buy it later at a set price. This lets you: ✅ Lock in today’s purchase price for future ownership ✅ Collect large upfront profit ✅ Collect monthly profit (for the duration of the deal) ✅ Profit from appreciation without the large upfront capital It’s a smart way to build cash flow and future equity with minimal risk. ( so as long as you know what you are doing.)

This is my baby strategy that allowed me to declare financial freedom in 25 months back in 2012! Lots of win-wins here and the barrier to entry allows most new investors to 'get their feet wet' while creating solid financial results.
