Eric Jemielita provides financial services and expertise to people at all stages of their investment journey. He believes in being a driving force in setting people up for their future success through coaching, investment, and public speaking. Eric wants to take those struggling financially and give them the tools they lack to find security and peace of mind.
Eric may have found success in adulthood, but he remembers what it was like to experience hardship. “Growing up a poor kid in New York and watching my parents struggle with both their financial situation and their marriage, I wanted success more than anything.” His parents were working class, middle-income earners, as well as one of the many families left behind when it came to understanding money. Watching his family and so many others struggle in his community every day opened his eyes to a larger problem. Realizing there was more than this in life, he was motivated to find success as a means of survival. Eric discovered financial services as the solution. He found a way to secure not only his own future, but help those around him who needed it most.
The platform Eric created stands apart from the rest of the industry, which takes on an “all-or-nothing approach.” “My company is unique because unlike the rest of the industry, we allow individuals to get started with us part-time, while balancing their full-time lives. I’ve created a platform where people can join, be taught a very effective and efficient system, and have a shot at the big time in the financial world.” Eric’s business model allows clients the opportunity to take advantage of services they might not otherwise have access to. Their system is the future. Instead of working through cold calls, they work in a warm market.
Eric has discovered that when running a business, mindset is everything. Without focus, consistency, and self-motivation you will fail. He’s also learned the importance of mastering your industry in order to achieve your goals. To do this, you need to not only learn what it takes to succeed, but have a mentor to guide you along the way. Eric’s advice to others about starting a business is to do the same. Believe in your vision and stay focused on your target. You will face opposition, but you can’t let it discourage you. Those who oppose you won’t pay your bills and they aren’t in charge of your destiny. You are. With the right motivation, fear never enters the equation.
While society may define success by an accumulation of wealth, Eric defines it by his accomplishments. To him success is “helping people make money and helping them reach their biggest goals and dreams.” Learning to work with people of all backgrounds and financial situations has been a challenge. But Eric has learned to treat each situation as unique as the individuals he is working with. His success has brought him the financial freedom he has always dreamed of. He now has the flexibility to do what he wants, when he wants, and with who he wants.
What’s next for Eric? He has his sights set on writing a book and starting an entrepreneurship to reach as many people as possible. You can follow Eric on Instagram @ericjemielita.
