Today we’d like to introduce you to Mario Payne.
Hi Mario, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I wanted to become a financial advisor after my Army deployment during operation “Enduring Freedom” As a financial personal assistant, I soon learned there is a huge void of investing and financial planning for our troops and society as a whole. When I completed college, I got my first financial advisory job at Edward Jones.
After building my business for 7 years, I then decided to start my own investment practice so I could help individuals and be a part of creating generational wealth for clients. Starting my own firm allowed me the opportunity to team up with a business partner to create an investment app allowing individuals the latitude to pick any stock they want, but the discipline to automatically get out of the stock market so they do not lose their original investment.
The algorithm we created is now allowing us to launch our own investment fund on the stock market, This fund will allow investors of all walks of life, no matter their investment amount, to prosper with the stocks that they pick. This is my story and I’m sticking with it, lol
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
My journey to get to this point has not been the smoothest nor bumpiest road as I started as a financial advisor during the height of the stock market great recession in 2008. When I first started at Edward Jones, I literally knocked on doors for almost a year to build my client base as I didn’t inherit or receive a book of business or a client base.
When I left my old firm to start my own practice, I couldn’t actively bring my former clients into my new firm, so I had to create a marketing campaign to get back in touch with my clients to bring them into my practice. Finding an office location to purchase, hiring staff, and starting a new business was made the journey that much more rewarding.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
MJP Financial is an investment firm specializing in building wealth through automation for investors of all walks of life. We are known for our higher-than-average investment returns and phenomenal customer service. What sets us apart is patented algorithmic investment strategies that track the trends of the stock market and automatically buy and sell investments for clients.
These strategies allow investors to participate in the market without the fear of losing money since we automatically sell their investments before their stocks decrease in value. I am most proud of how our algorithmic strategies are allowing people who either never invested or were scared to invest, to know have confidence in investing and see a financial pathway for themselves and their families.
I would want readers to know that you can invest in the market without the fear of losing money and the best thing is that anyone, no matter age or education level can have the path to financial freedom.
