The #BuildWealth Movement™ is a financial education initiative that encourages people to address their biggest concerns as it relates to their financial status. People avoid having serious financial conversations for fear of embarrassment or judgement. There needs to be a shift from the reactionary stigma that is connected to discussing your financial affairs. Having a financial game plan is something that must be proactively done. The #BuildWealth Movement™ is on a mission to help guide people through a personalized, step-by-step planning process that is fitting for every stage of life.
Many people go through life without having a formalized game plan as it relates to their financial obligations. We all have a strong desire to have financial peace of mind when it comes to our financial decision making, yet many of us will never experience that feeling. The #BuildWealth Movement™ will change that reality, and it will achieve this by helping people change the way they THINK and FEEL about money.
Here are some common issues:
- Many people do not have a financial game plan
- Many people do not have a trusted financial planner/adviser/counselor/coach, and
- Many people have trouble deciphering all the financial products/services information that’s constantly being marketed to them.
Providing solutions to address those issues is why The #BuildWealth Movement™ was created.
Pick Mr. #Buildwealth's Brain
This is a phone call or virtual meeting you schedule at your convenience. It's a good option for someone who isn't quite sure what they want to do but needs to talk through their situation to help get them moving in the right direction. This could be a one-time session, a session as needed or a series of sessions. You schedule time with Mr. #BuildWealth when you need him.
#buildwealth speaking engagements
If your organization is in search of an interactive and engaging financial wellness workshop or webinar, we've got you covered. Our sessions aren't like the stuffy financial wellness sessions your used to.

#buildwealth group sessions
Many of us are nervous about working with a financial expert and your family, friends or co-workers probably have the same concerns. If you plan to disrupt generational poverty™ , don't go it alone. Why not come together and work on your individual plans as a group?
WHY WAIT? LETS TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR FINANCES TODAY
The #Buildwealth Challenge is here to change the way you THINK and FEEL about money. The 8 challenge questions in this book require you to do one thing…be honest! Once you come to terms with your current financial situation, it will be easier to move forward on your #buildwealth journey.
This book will provide you with the fundamentals. If you can take these lessons and apply them to your financial situation, you will begin to see progress immediately. However, do not take on more than you can handle. Financial planning can be overwhelming at times and it’s recommended that you go at a pace that suits you.
Whether you are just starting out on your #buildwealth journey or you are in need of enhancing the plan you currently have, your financial plan will ALWAYS be a work in progress. There are 8,760 hours in a year, so give your financial plan the attention it deserves. Good luck with the challenge!
We are firm believers that you can do well and do good. Giving back has been something the Movement has done from the beginning. All the merchandise that’s sold through our store will go to support our endowed scholarship at North Carolina A&T State University.
