Take away: Take action and improve constantly.
Action step: Pick up the phone and reach out to people.
Money Learnings: School didn’t teach Lisa about money. Her parents modeled good money behaviors but didn’t talk to Lisa about money. She didn’t know her parents were saving money.
Bio: Lisa Duke began her career in Georgia’s growing Financial Technology (FinTech) industry, working as a subject matter expert on automated credit evaluation and credit bureau reporting systems. Wanting more freedom that she had in corporate America, she joined a network marketing company to train, motivate, and mentor female entrepreneurs. She rose to the top 2% of the organization and earned the use of two company vehicles.
In 2005 she joined her husband, Darren Duke, to lead the sales and marketing efforts for Simplified Technology Solutions, an IT consulting firm. As a result of running that business and investing they became self-made millionaires.
Now Lisa is working to help others follow the same path toward financial freedom. Ms. Duke has passed the Association for Financial Counseling and Planning Education® (AFCPE®)’s exam to become an Accredited Financial Counselor (AFC®) and is also pursuing that organization’s designation to become a Financial Fitness Coach (FFC®).
Ms. Duke is a member of the Financial Independence Retire Early (FIRE) movement and is a backer for the Playing with FIRE documentary.
