Today we’d like to introduce you to Trudi Kayser.
Trudi, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
When I was first introduced to Five Rings Financial back in 2013 I was a financial train wreck. I had no savings for retirement and was worried all the time about money. I tried my best to push it down but the truth was that I was convinced at that point that I was going to have to work until the day I died, and that was that. I truly thought it was too late for me to start saving or do anything with regards to my finances. On top of that – I had recently been diagnosed with COPD and knew that it was going to eventually be costly to take care of that once it advanced in later years.
I met a woman who invited me to a money workshop and I completely ignored her, but in the back of my mind, thought, I should probably go to that and learn something. Then, the next thought would come, which was – but it’s too late – why bother. I eventually ended up going to the workshop and walked away that day with hope. That day changed the financial trajectory of my life. The very next day I called her and got covered with Living Benefits and was taught how to save for my future with some products that were no risk and I felt very comfortable with.
This started my journey with a new relationship with money! I was so happy! A short time later – I decided to go to work with her because it had made such an impact on my life! I thought if I can do this, so can others! That was 6.5 years ago! It hasn’t been easy to reprogram my mind to have a positive mindset with money and it’s taken a lot of work. The reward has been amazing and I know it’s going to get better as life goes on. The more I share it, the more I learn and get to share.
My current relationship with money is a great one, and despite the fact that I came from an extremely poor background, I get to build wealth and share this strategy with others! It’s super exciting!
Has it been a smooth road?
There have been AMAZING struggles! When I was a child all I heard were things like “we can’t afford that”, or “money doesn’t grow on trees”, as well as “money is the root of all evil.” All of these phrases along with the concept that I wasn’t worthy was implanted in my brain. To banish the thoughts of what was programmed in me at a young age hasn’t been easy. At an early age, I struggled with drugs and alcohol as well as having children very young all of that responsibility just piled up. I felt as if I had no skills to even be responsible much less teach others the skill.
I will be celebrating 12 years of sobriety in February of 2020 – and the past decade has been one of growth, understanding, change and embracing all that life has to offer. The good and the bad! At the beginning of starting my business in Financial Services – the thoughts of me not being good enough crept in and some days it was debilitating. I wanted to quit so bad! The beauty of working with Five Rings Financial is that their apprenticeship program allows you to do it on your own time, at your own pace with all of your demons! I say that with a grin on my face because there were some financial demons along the way! I was supported along the way with mentors and people that had been there and done what I had done. They were very successful and I believed that I could be as well! When I moved to AZ three years ago, I started all over with the business knowing some very foundational truths that helped me overcome all of those “tapes” that were playing in my head.
It’s hard enough building a business in general, much less with “unworthy tapes” playing over and over in your head. The truth is – we all have those feelings because we are human! That’s okay because it’s quite possible to live life on purpose and with intention. Change your thoughts, change your life. Change your language, change your life! I started changing my language and speaking things into existence. The manifestation process started, and that’s when I decided to use the name Life Made to Order Financial Phoenix, LLC for my agency name.
It truly is a way of life. It’s a belief that we all can LIVE A LIFE MADE TO ORDER. I also coach people on their language and help others grow their businesses through another company I partnered with called TEAM Referral Network. The challenges have helped me grow into the person I am today, and I wouldn’t change that for the world!
Please tell us about your business.
We specialize in educating individuals about how money works through workshops and one on one meetings. If our clients don’t understand that concept we do not move forward until they do. This is what we are known for! We have upwards of 150 workshops a month across the nation online and in person! Individuals can attend in person, or online and they get valuable information that they can use to change their financial trajectory as well! There is NO SELLING at our workshops.
I am most proud of our growth at LMTO Financial and Five Rings Financial. We are the fastest growing company that does what we do in the nation! We just became a $1 BILLION company! I love that we grow leaders in our company and have an apprenticeship program that ANYONE can plug into and become a business owner by helping others with their finances! I am hiring here in the Phoenix area!
What sets us apart from others is our dedication to education! I would have to say that most people that work in the financial services industry are pushed to do business by quotas and pressure from corporate businesses. It’s understandable and hard to get away from. The founder of Five Rings Financial (Mike Wilk) set up a system that allows us to work at our client’s pace – not a quota pace. This allows us to be patient with clients and actually educate them BEFORE they do business with us! We are a fee free company and love our clients!
We specialize in Living Benefits – it’s our flagship product. Living Benefits are changing the world – one client at a time! They allow an individual to be covered in case of an unforeseen illness that would otherwise wreck their financial situation. If someone is covered with Living Benefits they can tap into a stream of income to replace what they lost when they cannot work because of illness. Super powerful! Attend a workshop to learn more or come and see us!
Let’s touch on your thoughts about our city – what do you like the most and least?
I love the energy that is here in the Valley! The people are so nice and friendly! The entrepreneurship “bug” is alive and strong! It’s affordable and magical when the sun shines on the mountains! I haven’t thought about what I like least about the city! If I had to come up with one thing – I would have to say that more people are moving here – but why wouldn’t they? It’s a great place to thrive!
