Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Jason Brown. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Jason, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. What’s the backstory behind how you came up with the idea for your business?

When I first started researching how most people become wealthy, an overwhelming response was always Real Estate or the Stock market.

One I started to study the stock market, almost every place I looked was very confusing. I would buy books but each book I started to read would use a confusing terminology that would force me to go buy another book to understand the first book.

I eventually took my money to a well known bank to invest, and all they asked me was two questions.

1.) What is the reason you want to invest
2.) Do you want aggressive funds.

I came back two years later and my $2000 shrank down to $700.

Realizing I could lose my own money, I invested the remainder on my own and started learning and understanding the market through trial and error.

I later borrowed $10,000 that was supposed to be used for a student loan and instead I invested it and put it in the stock market and grew it to over $100,000.

As i started to understand the stock market I wondered why people didn’t explain it in simple everyday terms.

I wondered if people would pay me to follow my trades and my investments as I grew my account.

I started to YouTube about my trading and people would ask how do you know what to do, when to buy, when to sell and that’s when I realized I had an opportunity to create courses and help people understand this information the way I wish i was explained to.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers

As a kid growing up from Detroit, and taking the risk of borrowing $10,000 that was ear marked for tuition and putting it into the market, most would consider it risky. But it’s only risky if you do not have the skill and information to grow the money.

I was forced to come into the industry and take risk with my own money because no one was teaching this information in my community and when I tried to go to the experts i.e. the bank, they lost money too.

What I do different is I teach people how to read patterns in the stock market by looking at charts. What I do different than most other programs and courses is explain it in everyday simple terms but then I also teach how to use stock “Options” which most people are not familiar with.

I teach how you can super charge your returns in a short period of time with options when the markets are going up and how you can protect your account and even make money on the downside when markets are bad and stocks are falling.

I don’t just teach how to invest, I teach how to grow, scale, and protect.

Most people make money in the stock market only to give it all back or watch it disappear. Others only know how to buy low and sell high, and when the market is not going higher, they just don’t even want to look at their account. Others want to get started but feel they don’t have a lot of money and it may not be worth their wild to use the little they have.

This is where options come in. I teach how to grow your account, protect it from major loses and how to have a game plan and use the right option strategy to profit when the market is moving down or against you.

Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?

After surveying my following on Youtube and by email, everyone said they would be interested in a course on how the stock market works. So I thought this is great, I have an audience that already wants to buy what I want to talk about and have to sell.

So I created a course on how it all works, and even launched at 50%, but no one bought. I was nervous, I was scared, I thought, what just happened.

I knew I had a good program, and I knew people needed this information and so from there I thought to myself, I need to learn sales and marketing. So that is what i did. I started to learn how to market my course online through Youtube and Social Media.

Just when I thought the wind got knocked out of me, I learned a new valuable skill that allowed me to build a multiple seven figure business.

I have stopped and started and pivoted many times throughout my career.

One of the keys to keep going when things are not going your way is to realize it works and is working for somebody, we just have to figure out how to make it work for us.

We’d love to hear the story of how you turned a side-hustle into a something much bigger.

I started my stock market education company “Power Trades University” while I was working a full time job. It was very much a side-hustle and passion project.

At the end of my corporate career I was making a little over $100,000 a year. The key to my success was that I lived off of roughly 60% or less of my salary. The rest of the money I used to invest in the stock market and also to hire some help as I was growing this new business.

My first employee was technically full time in the business while I was still working full time on my job. As we grew the business revenue to $500,000 to $600,000 a year, I was still working my full time job.

I made a few agreements with myself before I would quit my Job.
1.) I needed a second year of $500,000 to $600,000 just to make sure it wasn’t a fluke and I didn’t just have a good year.

2.) I launched a membership portion to my program and said if I can get 100 people to pay me $100 then I would quit my job because the recurring revenue would equate to my salary.

Although I was making $500,000 to $600,000 in revenue selling one of courses, I had to find new people every month to sell to. My thought process was that 100 members would provide more stability and less likely all 100 would cancel at one time.

So once we achieved those two goals, I decided to walk away and pursue the business full time to see how far we could take it.
