Today we’d like to introduce you to Zoe Abbott.
Hi Zoe, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
As a young mom I started my business in my Grandmother’s living room. In short order through hard work and persistence, I grew that business to a multiple six figure income level.
I work in the Financial Services industry. My role is to help individuals and families become educated about their own finances and enable them to make decisions about what is happening with their money. Ultimately my goal is to empower them to live their fullest life in the present while securing their financial future. As a licensed agent I am able to structure savings plans, investments and insurance policies that not only protect my clients from the unforeseeable, but set them up for significant tax advantaged retirement. Together with my team I have helped thousands of families all over the United States. Through my work with my clients I have assisted in eliminating over 50 million dollars of debt.
While I achieved success in business, I was still held back by a lifelong struggle with my own health. Over the past two years, I took the tools I had learned from managing finances and applied those methods towards managing my health. As a result, I lost over half my body weight, regained my health and simultaneously doubled my income.
I firmly believe that one should never shrink their dreams down to fit current reality, but expand reality to fit one’s goals and dreams. Anything is possible if you make a decision and follow it up with consistent action. Dream big and you will be able to hit sky high goals.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
The biggest struggle was being a mom while having three jobs and attempting to build a business from scratch. I was working every hour that I could, seven days a week and often 18+ hour days. After my first year of hard work part time working nights and weekends, I built a six figure income from my own home based business and was able to quit my other jobs to concentrate on scale and expansion from there.
The other struggle was my own health. I had always struggled with obesity since I was a young child. In my late 20’s I began to develop anemia, auto-immune issues and became pre-diabetic. This was a wake up call for me and I became dedicated towards reclaiming my health and changing my relationship with my body.
The other obstacle was starting to work in a business (finance) that I had zero previous experience or education. Through intense training I made myself an expert concentrating on my passion of helping people to become sane in the area of finance.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
My services include debt relief, financial planning, and retirement strategies to help my clients achieve their objectives and build wealth. While my immediate focus is to help people with what may seem like daunting financial challenges, I go a step further: I believe in empowering my clients! I educate families on the financial tools and strategies which have long been used by the wealthy, but which have been largely denied to the middle class.
I am expert in: – Debt Relief Strategy – Credit Repair and Building – Life Insurance – Investment/Retirement Strategies – Training and Helping Others Set up their own Financial Services Businesses. What sets my team and I apart is we are wholly non-judgmental of others and their financial state. Our job is never to ‘school’ our clients or make them feel guilty about their financial condition. Our job is to get them to a point where they feel happy about their finances while living in the now and building for their future. My ultimate goal is to help my clients get into a position financially where they have enough money to follow their passions and build the life they always dreamed of. I am most proud that I am passionate about what I do. I have helped dozens of individuals create their own Financial Services Business and I have seen them grow to multiple six figure income levels. I want to make money with people and not on people and my business allows me to do just that.
Can you talk to us about how you think about risk?
I am all about intelligent risk taking. Having a solid foundation is very important. If you have the knowledge, responsibility and control of what you are doing, taking a calculated risk can make a lot of sense. However, I do believe in fully establishing safety nets financially. My whole business model is built around ensuring you will never be left out in the cold no matter what happens. However, personally, risks could also be looked at as following your big dreams and goals. This past year, I took a risk on my lifelong passion of being a singer. I recorded and released three songs that then went viral on Facebook reaching well over three million views. I am all about personal risks and entrepreneurial endeavors as long as I have my baseline financial security in place.
