Ed & Tatiana Davis (@EdDavisTheMogoal)

Ed Davis, the Founder of Mogoal Wealth Coaching, became 100% debt free at just 23 years old. Paying off all of his credit cards, student loans, personal loans and everything in between. This may not seem monumental but for a young guy who grew up in the hood, raised by parents who earned $10/hr, this was huge. 

So at 29 when Ed turned down a promotion and quit his 7 year career in project management and 6 figure income at one of the top engineering firms in the world, to pursue his dream of living life on his own terms and teaching others to do the same, his friends and family were somewhat perplexed. 

But not for long. Ed used everything he learned from his childhood, professional life and passion for real estate and stock investing to create a successful portfolio for himself. Then shared all he learned with his friends, family and now you!

Roxanna Wilson (@queenroxannawilson)

"Wealth wasn't given to a lot of us so we had to create it". I believe we are all born with royalty. You are an asset. Repeat after me “I am an asset”

At a very young age, I’ve witnessed how money makes the world go round. That’s why I decided early on to master the art and science of generating wealth.

I’ve started dozens of different businesses, constantly studying what works and what doesn’t, and identifying the strategies and opportunities that yield the best results. I studied how to speak the language of business across a wide variety of industries, I’ve consistently invested in myself, and taken actions to take me closer to my goals.

And as of today…

I’ve been active in a wide range of business industries for over 15 years…

​I have my own block…

​I have my own trailer park…

​I have flipped over $5M worth of real estate properties

​Have earned at least $100k per month consistently during the pandemic

​And I have developed a wide network of people across dozens of profitable industries

Get out of debt fast

​Start their own businesses with minimal capital

​Consistently earn 6-figures with passive, active, and residual income

​Quit their 9-5 jobs and become their own bosses

​Provide more comfortable - even lucrative - lives for their loved ones

​Achieve sustainable financial independence

And if you follow the strategies I’ll be teaching you, you too can earn 6-figures consistently that will allow you to live your life exactly the way you want to - without being at the mercy of your boss and your 9-5 job, and without worrying about putting food on the table ever again.

Today, you can take back control of your life, and become the best version of yourself without anything to hold you back.

Jake Tayler Jacobs (@JakeTaylerJacobs)

Jake has been educating families and college students on the topic of financial literacy since 2012. Though he was passionate about teaching on the topics of legacy building and financial freedom Jake never thought in a million years he would build a business in the financial industry especially since he went to school to be a PE Teacher. Clearly, God had other plans for him, because Jake's break in the entrepreneurial world came in 2016 when he built his financial firm on 7 napkins in a local Applebee's.

Since then, the company has evolved to a brokerage vastly expanding in over 22 states and counting. He and his team of superheroes are building one of the most trusted minority-owned financial firms in the country. Jake is dead set on creating a company that will be able to offer people of color and opportunity to exceed and excel financially. So, seeing a huge disparity in growing profitable minority-owned businesses Jake has made it his mission to change the world by helping families become financially independent and secure..

Dionne Reddick (@bizcoachbydionne)

Dionne Reddick, born in Orlando, Florida. After attending public schools in Orlando, she went on to attend and graduate from Florida A&M University, earning a BA in Political Science and a Master’s Degree in Public Speaking, she then went on to be enrolled in the inaugural class of the FAMU College of Law.  During law school, she had the pleasure of doing her internship with famed attorney L. Londell McMillan, of the McMillan Firm, who is famously known for changing the artist formally known as Prince’s name to “the symbol” which was a ground breaking case earning him the rights the Master recording’s back to the artist.  That internship with Londell provided her the opportunity to work with many celebrities including Prince, Oprah Winfrey and many more. 

Fast forward to 4/25/15, when, out of necessity and the desire to have an all-natural skin care product she created a body butter for herself, sharing this product with family and receiving great feedback about how remarkable they thought her body butter was, her brother posted the finished product on social media, the comments for orders started coming in from others that sought after the same need to have a product of this kind and the request for products started pouring in.  Since business was not her background, during the first few years of launching her business she realized it was more of an expensive hobby, than a business at all. Having the determination to succeed at doing something she loved doing and having a product that others loved as well, in Q4 of 2017 she hired a business coach.  The coach’s first two questions were, “What have you made” and “What are your goals”? She had no answer for either. Keeping those two key questions in mind, her business has grown over 600% and she’s now earning more in her business that she does in her 9-5.  Dionne is now not only a physical product maker, but her brand has expanded into coaching as well as a public speaker, she now offers one on one coaching, class trainings and Speaking at company events.
