Our level of financial stability drives the majority of our actions on a day-to-day basis. It influences how we plan for retirement, manages our debts, and stay on top of everyday expenses such as food and transport. Not all of us have the funds to hire a financial advisor, so what options do we have to ensure we create a secure future for ourselves and our families?

Andrew Woodward, the founder of The Investors Way, teaches men how to become financially secure by adding seven figures to their net worth. All of this is taught to his students in a 90-day program. Andrew’s ultimate vision is to help people free themselves from the stress of money and help more people create the life they desire.

From financial hardship to growing a multi-million dollar portfolio.

Andrew’s catalyst for his business and mission came about when he arrived home to his wife and two kids one day, along with a pile of bills in the mail. He had no idea how he would pay the bills, and that was enough to drive him to change. After this pivotal moment, Andrew spent years reading, researching, and implementing his newfound financial knowledge to create a better future for himself and his family.

Since that fateful day, Andrew has built a multi-million dollar portfolio. One of the key lessons he learned is that “success in life and money comes from consistency; a mix of action and strategy. You don’t need to chase the next big thing, stick to what works and be consistent.”

Passing down financial literacy to future generations.

It is one thing to change our own lives, but it is another to extend that change to others who are also in need of the knowledge you possess. 

Andrew shares that success for him is when he can change the financial position for as many people as possible using the power of compounding. He identifies this as his indicator of success because “My students can pass on this new knowledge to their family and their kids, leading to less financial stress and more financial freedom.”

The three elements of success.

Anyone can work hard, but if they don’t have a clear direction, they may never achieve goals in line with their desires. Andrew believes the three elements that make someone successful are action, a well-developed why, and resilience. He shares, “the line to success is never a straight line, so you need to be resilient to deal with the challenges that will inevitably materialize.”

Financial literacy is a skill that, once learned, you possess knowledge forever. Andrew’s passion stemmed from realizing that he didn’t want his children to grow up without the knowledge and power to create their financial freedom when he became a father. He has created generational wealth for his own family, but he is also now helping others achieve the same for their families.
