We recently connected with Dhanvanti Moore and have shared our conversation below.

Dhanvanti, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today We love asking folks what they would do differently if they were starting today – how they would speed up the process, etc. We’d love to hear how you would set everything up if you were to start from step 1 today

I got started in my teens so the first thing I’d do is not be so anxious to recreate the lifestyle my mother built for me when I was growing up. I would be seeking to reduce my personal expenses and overhead. I’d be more comfortable with making mistakes and taking risks. I’d put off having my son and I’d put off being in love and nurturing a romantic relationship.

I would prioritize personal credit, investing and income creation. In my business I’d focus on customer sentiment and I’d be much more customer centered and gaining a deep understanding of my target market, solving their problems and executing on my ideas rather than being fearful about bringing innovation to market.

I would look to build a team and work on my communication so that I would be able to effectively articulate my vision. I would find people who are smarted than me and more passionate than I am in certain disciplines to lead in the areas of my business where I’m weak but that still needs strong leadership. I’d not be so hell bent on doing everything myself. I’d be interested in global markets and politics more than I was and I’d be more focused on industry trends and financial markets.

I’d be more focused on planning and long term results and less concerned with these short term 30 day cycles of paying bills to relieve financial anxiety working to live another 30 days in my home or to drive my car. I’d be more focused on mental and psychological health as well as being careful to surround myself with the right people. I’d be much more concerned with social capital and building a solid network of smart, driven decision makers and leaders in their own right. I’d be looking to learn from them and provide any insight or assets that would help my network elevate on a various levels. I could go on…

Dhanvanti, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

About me: As a wealth & investments strategist I show people how to hire their money, put money to work for them & make money their obedient servant.
I’ve been a real estate broker since 2005. I’m licensed in multiple states. I’m also a skilled foreign currencies trader with documented 96% win rate. I am also the founder and Lead Educator at The Money School Atlanta.
I’m a computer & money nerd who’s been in business for herself for over 3 decades.

How I got started: I got started in finance as a mortgage broker in 2003. I decided to start my financial ministry in 2011 when I invited 5 friends to join me on a journey toward becoming millionaires. Since then I’ve worked closely with individuals and with groups to help them amass wealth and build businesses that bring high impact products and services to market.

Since then I’ve transitioned my real estate and mortgage skills toward building a business brokerage. I also mentor and coach high income earners and high performance business owners and investors through their income & wealth building trajectories.

Currently, I’ve began focusing on a specific client base, women of color. Navigating the journey of career advancement or entrepreneurial success as a Black woman often involves not just external societal and systemic challenges but also internal ones stemming from family dynamics. Toxic family systems can present unique obstacles that intersect with cultural expectations, gender roles, and racial identity, impacting Black women’s professional paths and psychological well-being.

These challenges require Black women to navigate complex emotional landscapes, often necessitating the development of strong personal boundaries, seeking external support systems, and cultivating resilience. Overcoming these obstacles involves not only personal growth and coping strategies but also sometimes engaging in difficult conversations to address and shift toxic family dynamics. Success in their careers or businesses thus becomes not just a professional achievement, but also a testament to their ability to overcome both external and internal barriers. I address these issues using a system of tools that I refer to as Economic Healing. I offer this collection of products and services through my membership network, Wealth Wise Women.

Our membership community for Black professional and entrepreneurial women offers a tremendous opportunity to build a supportive network that fosters growth, empowerment, and success. The key our success is the tailored approach to the benefits. Member benefits meet the unique needs and aspirations of Black women in the professional and entrepreneurial spheres.

Have you ever had to pivot?

Self reinvention is the story of my life! 2008 presented a tremendous opportunity to pivot. I was in real estate and we all know how the housing market got hit hard during the 2007 to 2009 economic season. I knew the market would be gutted so I went to my investors and convinced them to move into the multi family market. I figured since people were losing their homes they’d still need places to live and 3 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment communities would see huge growth.

This proved to be very profitable. The other very organic market shift that occurred was that mortgage lenders didn’t want to spend the money to foreclose on all of those borrowers so they sought to sell the mortgage notes but the industry was to saturated. Because of this saturation the mortgage note market was opened up to the regular everyday real estate investor. So now we had a truly passive income producing asset that would pay monthly dividends for up to 30 years. Not only was I able to help my clients move into a the multi family market but I was also able to help the everyday small investor create decades of sustainable passive income. This was a turning point for me to move from residential real estate toward being a business broker and wealth strategist.

What’s been the best source of new clients for you?

Expensive hobbies and social media visibility.

I am a member of many social clubs and equestrian clubs, golf clubs and country clubs. I am visible on social media where I have created communities and sold tons of products and se3rvices to my followers. I give a lot of free game and try to be entertaining and sometimes controversial to garner attention and remain polarizing. I’m also visible on dating apps. I date without the intention of things ever turning romantic. I date to make friends and meet potential clients.
