Hello
Hi, my name is Manoj.
I work with a small number of motivated individuals on a group or one-to-one basis and coach them to achieve their goals faster than they think possible. I mostly work with ambitious high-fliers – particularly those from within the investment banking, fund management and FinTech industries.
I have a deep passion for all things related to personal finance, investing and business – but more than that I have a passion to empower people so that they can become the best and most successful versions of themselves. I have built the ‘Gym of Wealth’ as a means to share my passion with you.
I started my career as a software developer after graduating with a degree in Electronic & Computer Engineering. As I began to earn money during my early working life, I was very conscientious about saving and investing for my future. I was fortunate enough to buy my own house (with a mortgage) at an early age and even started contributing into a pension / retirement scheme as soon as I started working. That was when I first became interested in finance and investing…
Early Days…
In the early days, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing with regards to wealth. Nobody had taught me about money and my peers were not knowledgeable either. I joined the company pension scheme, picked some random funds, made my monthly contributions and just assumed that I’d have enough to retire on after 40 years. I also started investing in the stock-market but not in a very planned or structured way. I picked companies that I had heard of and made a bit of profit sometimes and a bit of a loss other times.
Banking Industry…
I started working in the investment banking industry in the 1990s and began to really understand money, finance, economics and investing. I knew that I had found my passion and decided to develop it further by taking a specialist MBA in Finance. Over the following 20+ years, I worked on many projects and initiatives at various global banks which covered very complex finance concepts. Through my work, I have developed a very deep knowledge about how money, finance and investing really work. Using this specialist knowledge, I have been able to build up my personal assets in a very controlled and methodical manner and am financially secure now.
Risk Management…
Having survived the dot-com boom and bust at the start of the century and the 2008 credit crunch, my attention turned towards Risk Management. As a risk-averse person I was able to navigate myself around the financial chaos during those events but I did see many friends and accomplices really struggle during those recessions. I vowed that I would never want to suffer as they did. I completed further training and am now a Certified Financial Risk Manager. I have developed strategies to minimise debt, maximise earning potential, diversify income streams and have built a robust financial infrastructure to help me avoid any money issues in the future. You can have that too.
Helping Others…
Over the past few years, many people have asked me to explain and inform them on various money and investing topics. I have seen them struggle to understand their finances, their mortgages, their loans, their retirement schemes and money in general. They are smart people, but have never grasped money and investing. Even though they are financially comfortable now, I fear they may be wiped out when the next recession arrives or when they reach retirement – it would be heart-breaking to see them and their families end up in a financial disaster. It is not their fault – their schools never taught them about money, finance and investing. For many people, their parents were unable to guide them either. So I help these people in many ways – either via online training, mentoring or bespoke coaching.
Coaching…
I decided to build a coaching business around my passion, knowledge and experience. I now coach motivated people and empower them to achieve long-term success and fulfil their dreams. I coach individuals who want to take control of their money and their finances once and for all. I also coach individuals who are finance and investing experts themselves – helping them to develop as leaders. I am helping to create the next generation of responsible investors, financial advisers, financial planners and wealth managers. I am doing my bit to progress the investing and finance industry. Do you want to be part of that?
You and I…
If you are looking forward to fulfilling your dreams then we need to work together. Are you are ready for a deeply transformative coaching program that will empower you to fulfil your long-term dreams? If so, then I may be able to help you. Let’s talk…
