Our Story... The Launch of The Puzzle!

Hey guys -- Sorry the posts have been a little sparse recently. Jeremy and I have been really consumed with officially launching The Financial Puzzle - but that's actually great news for you. We have developed an amazing amount of resources in a relatively short time (literally hundreds of pages of material.) Much of this is going to be offered for free! We are also developing strategic relationships with other key companies to help us facilitate our teaching -- and your success as traders. I thought it would be appropriate however, to pause for a moment and reflect on how we've arrived here.

The Financial Puzzle really began over 12 years ago when Jeremy and I first met in college. In our friendship, Jeremy has always been known to have ideas that were "bigger than life," and I've always acted as the "facilitator." This has worked out well and together we've accomplished amazing things in life. Typically this is how one of our ideas is conceived.

"Hey Josh, I had this crazy idea..."

Ilisten carefully while immediately figuring out the viability of the crazy concept. Typically this occurs while drinking Dr. Pepper (I don't think it's scientifically proven, but we think it makes us smarter.) After careful consideration and a couple hours of dreaming we usually conclude as I say:

"Honestly Jeremy,I think we can do this... and if it doesn't work I'll always think it should have!"

That is exactly how The Financial Puzzle started too! Like everything else we've done, Jeremy and I decided to work together as traders. What was unique about this endeavor is that we seemed to struggle at every turn. I can remember a couple very specific times that we wanted to quit. Our frustration was consistent -- finding a comprehensive educational program that would give us all the information and tools necessary to be successful traders in an easy to understand, down-to-earth format. We knew it could be done -- obviously since people were doing it all over, and we were determined to figure out how. We endured as we gained our education from the school of Hard Knocks - which can have a very expensive tuition for traders! However, we officially graduated and the investment in our education has proven to be priceless.

The Financial Puzzle was then the outgrowth of our interactions with other traders that had a similar frustration toward education. There just isn't a product out there that is comprehensive enough to make you a successful trader in and of itself. As we've met these frustrated traders we've always been glad to share the lessons we've learned along the way. Ultimately, our contacts spread across the country (literally from California to NY), and we found the webinar format to be the most convenient tool to facilitate our teaching. We have since gone through and systematically developed our comprehensive trading educational series: Foundations of Stocks and Options. We are very pleased to have received wonderful reviews from our beta students!

We will keep you updated with our progress. In the mean time, please come check out our Free Report: How to Retire in One Year with Only $10,000 and our E-Course: Basics of Stock Options. Both of these are free and we would really enjoy your feedback. Also, we welcome your ideas for subjects you'd like to see covered in subsequent materials. Please feel free to email us or comment right here on the blog.

Looking forward to seeing you in class!
