It wasn’t a year later, and I was invited back to business school to teach a guest lecture in valuation. The lecture went so well, and the student evaluations were excellent. Before I knew it, I was teaching on three different finance programmes and teaching a two different business schools.
Something happened where I went from builder to finance lecturer. These days I call myself a Valueologist…that is a bit tongue in cheek. I think back to when I sat in that lecture theatre with those 59 other students. Little did I realise that life would come a full circle and I would be the one standing up front as the lecturer.
As I look back now, I have had 20 years of learning and teaching finance. Thousands of students have passed through my classroom.
Why is this relevant to you…well, here is why? I have taken the very best of what I have learnt and taught over the last 20 years and packed it into a video series called Finance On Steroids. Most of this material would only be available if you paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to go to business school.
Here is where you get to benefit…
I am on a mission to make business finance content available to as many people as possible. You see I am tired of the accountants being the ones with all the financial power and knowledge in a business. I don’t have anything against accountants, but have you noticed how the c-suit of a business is mostly made up of accountants. The reason is because they are trained to understand and process all the financial transactions in a business which means they end up with an extremely broad business knowledge.
Unfortunately for those who are not trained as accountants there is truly little financial education at school and at university. Also, the maths education in our country is so poor that many don’t get a chance to even access the basics of financial education.
I would like you to be part of my mission to change this.
I have discovered a unique methodology of teaching business finance and value creation. A beginner can go from novice to competent in just a few easy to follow steps. I have structured my Finance On Steroids course to follow this process. My intention is not to teach people business finance so that they become accountants. My intention is to help non-accountants overcome their fear of numbers and lack of self-belief so that they can dramatically advance their careers.
So, if you need to develop your confidence in understanding the numbers of business and how businesses create value then Finance On Steroids is definitely for you.
You might even surprise yourself, like I did, and realise that with a different perspective your whole world might change. I went from Builder to Valueologist because my finance lecturer changed my perspective on the world.
Give me the opportunity to change your perspective and empower yourself to potentially advance your career in a way you never thought possible.
See you on the course.
All the best,
Justin Spencer-Young
Valueologist
