What made Hyacinth get into the financial sector?
It wasn’t a conscious decision, it was destined. I told my dad that my employer at the time was having trouble meeting payroll, and my dad responded by asking if I wanted to help out at his office (The Henderson Financial Group). I said yes because I needed to feed my two-year old daughter; I had no idea how my journey would unfold. Initially I was just pushing paper and answering the phones on occasion. A few months into working at Our Firm I found myself in the office while everyone else went to South Africa for two weeks. During that time, clients were calling with real problems that needed real solutions. To everyone’s surprise, I put out a lot of fires during those two weeks. They saw it as a big deal, yet I saw it as helping people the way I’d want someone to help me. After that I started getting licensed and the rest is history. I still don’t see the big deal; I have a natural curiosity, and I enjoy helping people. I use my ability to learn boring stuff, process it in a way that makes sense to me, then explain it to others in a relatable way. The goal is to help people “get it” so they can step into their greatness and live life. If I wasn’t a financial professional I would still be learning and helping others; that’s what lights my fire.
When it comes to business it seems like a lot of entrepreneurs lack the knowledge of financial management why is that?
Because the masses go into business to “make money” and not to build wealth. The average person’s relationship with money is similar to the relationship between Tom & Jerry- they’re always chasing money. Anytime you chase a thing or person, it continues to run from you. It puts you in a position of being the servant instead of the master; and so many entrepreneurs find themselves being a slave to their business because they haven’t decided to take their rightful place as master. This is law. So, when we look at entrepreneurs and it appears that they lack the knowledge to manage their finances appropriately, what we are really seeing is a person who doesn’t understand energetics and the purpose of money.
How can you help new business owners stay above the red zone?
By teaching them to be the master. You’ve got to tell your money where to go and what to do. On a practical level this looks like assessing their present financial position and then teaching them how to use spiritual and metaphysical laws to create and build wealth. Business owners come to me when they’re “stuck”. They’ll say, Hyacinth, I’ve done all “the things”, I’m following The American Dream and I’m still stuck here when I’d rather be there.
