Hey there-
My name is Kelly Michelle aka Kelly Elle and contrary to what you might have heard, I was not born into wealth.Â
Originally from England, my parents were middle class, my Dad was working at a fish and chips shop, and my Mum was working as a secretary in England, when he and my mum met.  So don’t let the British accent fool you. Buckingham’s Palace was far away from our house. In fact, it was so far that there was no fortune to pass on to me, their first born and there wouldn’t be a fortune of any kind for years and years to come.
Â
My parents raised me to be mindful of money, especially mum, she would say "take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves", but they did not teach me the tools that millionaires build their wealth on.
My Dad worked his way to the top of a very well known company, and was eventually offered the CEO position after nearly 40 years of working for that same company.
He retired wealthy and tired lol. However, his success is rare nowadays. How many people do you know that still work for the same company they worked for 30, 20 or even 5 years ago. With layoffs, restructuring, online businesses, we are in a different era. Despite the rarity of his success, the fact they were able to achieve it made Dad and Mum believe that if you worked really hard, one day, you could have everything you dreamed of.
And thus, so did I.
I worked my ass off in law school so that I could have a career that not only put my wanna-be acting skills to good use (still waiting on that call from Hollywood) but also to make the money that was promised with being an attorney.Â
Â
And the money IS promised…but at a cost. After law school I worked upwards of 70 hours per week but only to see the light at the end of the very long, dark, student loan tunnel.Â
Â
I felt I was working all these long hours just to pay “the man” at the end of the day and it was taking a huge toll on me. I rarely had time for myself or my new family. And I was not seeing the money I had thought I was going to see.
I quickly learned that this was NOT how the wealthy build their wealth.
After working long hours for someone else, I decided to open my own law firm with a fold out table and a $30 printer from Walmart. Because I had learned so much in my prior jobs, I now knew how to earn the money I desired. And the money came and I felt so blessed that I could provide for my family the way I wanted to. But honestly, I really had no idea what I was doing with the money I made.
So, I did what most people would do. I hired a financial advisor.
He was going to invest my money for me and make me a millionaire right?
But I was very, very wrong.
“How wrong were you Kelly???” I was $500,000 wrong!! The "fiduciary" I hired to invest my money had invested in companies that lost everything during a crash, they bottomed out and he lost all of it!! I had no idea at that time I could simply watch the indicators and sell prior to a bottom. I simply didn't have the knowledge.
What. A. Failure. Not only with my money but I felt like I had failed as a human!
I couldn’t believe this had happened to me. What I didn’t realize at the time was that it was happening FOR me.
You see LIFE HAPPENS FOR YOU NOT TO YOU
So I learned how to fail faster. You see everyone fails, it is necessary for growth. Without failure there is no way to learn, to reflect, to expand, to evolve!
So far I have learned more big lessons than I had expected to learn in my lifetime, but there was one more I needed to learn...
After taking things into my own hands and deciding I would be the only one handling my money, I opened an account on Margin. If you don’t know what that is lets just say Its extremely risky, and I might as well have been at the horse track gambling away my money.
And that’s what happened.
Yup. Again. Just like that. Another 500k out the door.
Another failure. But I somehow knew that did not mean that I was a failure.
SO, in typical Kelly Elle fashion, I picked myself up again and learned how to budget, set financial goals, grow my wealth and trade in the safest possible way.
I have spent the last 8 years using the 30/30/30 principle for budgeting; creating, drafting and re-drafting Legacy Financial Goals, and trading/investing my own path to Extreme Wealth.
I do this to live an extraordinary life, a life full of joy and freedom. I do this for my family so they have the best education, experiences and futures. I do this to create generational wealth for my future generations. I do this so I can give to those less fortunate and help causes I believe in now, and when my spirit moves on to its next adventure.
I learned and studied it the same way I studied law so that not only I could start making a passive income, create the live I want and set my family up for the future, But so that you could too. I have done it in a way that I have so much confidence in it, I believe anyone can do it.
So that every single mom, single dad, broke millennial, and financially ignorant college student could also believe that they would not only have financial freedom, but that they would build the foundation for their family’s wealth for generations to come.
My dream now is to create One Million Millionaires.
And I am not stopping until I get there!
