Years of Experience
Twenty-two years ago, when I first arrived in the United States, I made a promise to myself—a promise that I am only now truly able to fulfill. I was determined to understand every system I encountered: college, corporate America, entrepreneurship, and, most importantly, the financial system.
My journey into entrepreneurship began in 2010 when I launched an e-commerce clothing brand, Royal Dynamite. It ran until 2023, offering valuable lessons along the way. Side hustles like this not only provided extra income but also taught me essential skills about business, branding, and perseverance.
However, by 2023, I reached a pivotal moment. Conversations with career coaches, therapists, and mentors helped me realize that I was doing too much and accomplishing too little. It was time to focus. I decided to align my actions with my deeper purpose.
In 2023, I started a podcast called Family Man Building a Brand. While the ideas resonated, I soon realized the podcast was missing something—the true essence of my vision. This year, I’m evolving the podcast to align fully with my brand’s purpose.
As someone who has always been driven, I noticed a recurring pattern among my peers. Many had achieved significant career success, but few truly understood the financial system.
They’d hit the ceiling that hard work alone can offer but needed discipline, dedication, and persistence to break through to financial freedom.
Behind the scenes, I’ve quietly helped many people on their financial journeys. Now, it’s time to bring that expertise forward. I’m stepping out of the shadows because personal finance is my passion, and I’m ready to share it with the world. This is who I am. This is Cimifly Money, your money mentor.
I started investing in 2008. But if I’m being honest, from 2008 to 2016, I was more of a gambler than an investor. Not the Vegas kind, but close enough. I dabbled in penny stocks, day trading, and inverse ETFs—chasing quick wins without a clear strategy.
I learned a lot, but I also lost a lot. Looking back, I realize that if I had invested consistently and patiently, the growth would have been exponential.
In 2016, after taking more losses than I’d like to admit, I decided to change my approach. I opened two long-term investing accounts—one with Acorns and another with E*TRADE—and committed to building wealth the right way. Fast forward to December 2024, and those accounts have grown by 58% and 165%, respectively. It was one of the best financial decisions I’ve ever made.
In 2024, I launched my Financial Accountability Coaching business to help professionals transform their financial lives. I’ve slowly grown the business, working one-on-one with clients to create personalized investment strategies that stick. I’ve also managed a diverse investment portfolio across multiple platforms, proving that disciplined, long-term strategies work.
Why am I sharing this? Because I see too many capable professionals waiting for the “perfect time” to take control of their finances.
The truth is, there’s no perfect time—but there is a perfect next step: having a conversation about your financial goals.
Let’s talk. Book a free discovery call with me this week, and we’ll discuss your current financial situation, your goals, and how my coaching services can help you achieve them.
Together, we’ll work towards financial independence and create a roadmap for success.
