This Financial Self-Defense Education Dojo (FSD) is a completely separate entity but built from my Decade+ of experience running my real world business as a licensed financial services educator and sales person. While my experiences helping individuals, families, business owners, and professionals have certainly influenced the lessons and discussions you'll find here, the opinions and educational content shared within this community are my own and are provided for educational purposes. My goal is simple: 👉 Help people better understand money. 👉 Help people ask better questions. 👉 Help people become more confident making financial decisions. 👉 Help people build a stronger future through education. 🎯 A Dream Years in the Making For many years I've hosted free webinars, workshops, and educational sessions because I genuinely believe financial knowledge should be more accessible.Creating a dedicated educational Dojo like this has been something I've wanted to do for a very long time. As you'll quickly discover, I have a tendency to be a bit of a perfectionist. 😅 That means I'm constantly looking for ways to improve the experience, organize information better, and create resources that provide real value. While the Dojo is still evolving, I'm excited about where it's heading and grateful to have you along for the journey. 🤝Commitment? This Dojo is being built around a few simple principles: 🥋 Respect for all members 📚 Lifelong learning 💡 Open-minded discussion 🛡️ Financial empowerment through education 🌱 Progress over perfection Whether you're just beginning your financial journey or already have years of experience, you are welcome here. 🙃 A Little About Me If we haven't met yet, I'm Crystal. I'm a martial arts instructor, financial educator, lifelong learner, and occasionally a little quirky (possibly more than a little, depending on who you ask 😉). I believe education should be practical, respectful, and as much fun as possible. Most importantly, I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to understand the financial systems that affect their lives.
