About me

Multiplying my salary by nine over the last decade and by sixteen since the start of my career as a young and inexperienced executive, today I have achieved the holy grail of financial independence. If you add to those achievements the ordeals of two dismal periods of unemployment, the loss of loved ones, a divorce and two near-death events, you get an accurate summary of my life so far.

And yet, believe it or not, it was these very ordeals that made my current success possible. They opened my eyes to a reality and to possibilities that I had hitherto ignored.

They motivated me to take action, to overcome limiting beliefs and to conquer the fear that shackled me to the daily grind. They led me to establish new principles that would allow me to break free, to construct my financial independence and ultimately to access a serene and fulfilling lifestyle that I once thought could never be mine.

However these principles often contradict the generally accepted truths, the facile observations and the miracle methods that proliferate on social media.

Indeed, the key to financial independence doesn’t involve borrowing money to acquire properties to let, or trying your hand at being a trader in your spare time. No, foremost it involves investing in yourself so you can develop your skills, increase your value, reduce your exposure to unemployment, and maximize your capacity to make savings. It also involves, especially in times of major economic crisis, learning how to protect your savings and how to invest them without getting caught up in the housing and stock-market bubbles promoted by many unscrupulous financial gurus.

You can learn about my principles and approach to achieving financial independence by reading my books and taking part in my training courses.

Here’s to your success and happiness!
