Our Story
When we were first introduced to the concepts of marketing used by our company today, we were dating and in college. We had no idea what our future held but our present was filled with endless hopes, huge dreams, and limitless aspirations! Unfortunately the reality of our life set in, and we were constantly told by friends and family we should “get focused” and “get jobs.”
We found ourselves five years later teaching middle school in a small town in Georgia. Combined we were bringing in approximately $56,000 a year and living month to month like so many do. We had just had our second child and were both coaching multiple sports to bring in extra money. Needless to say, our time for family was all but non-existent. Not to mention that in our spare time we had no money to enjoy it. Looking back, we realized we had given up on our hopes, dreams, and aspirations to follow the path dictated by society. We immediately began searching for ways to lighten our financial load as well as take control of our freedom. At that time we were very blessed to be introduced to the financial services industry by a family friend. We were able to cut out several hundred dollars of expenses each month and put together a financial road map.
One year later Kimberly was working part time in the financial services industry and bringing home more than our combined teaching incomes. I reluctantly followed in her footsteps! Four years later (for a total of five) we were the MVPs of our previous company and had made over one million dollars in commissions. None of this was because we were extraordinary people. Our success has been, and continues to be, made possible by our amazing group of representatives, our strong desire to help others financially, and most of all a renewed and constant focus on our dreams!
Our question for you is, Where will you be five years from now? We challenge you to hope, dream, aspire and accomplish with Five Financial.
