Financial Joy Academy

Welcome to FJA! šŸ˜Š

We’re home to an amazing community of Dream Makers!

Below are the most Frequently Asked Questions of the Financial Joy Academy (FJA) Membership.

We’d love you to join and want to answer your questions in advance to ensure that you fully understand what FJA is about and for you to decide if you’re the right fit.

Before diving in, here are some practical results that Dream Makers at FJA have achieved recently:

  • starting and growing money-making online businesses or side hustles (e.g. blogs, YouTube channels, personal brands, e-commerce businesses, Amazon FBA, etc).
  • buying their first property as first time buyers,
  • growing stock market investments by over 20% in a year (even as beginners),
  • receiving 5-figure promotions at work,
  • Successfully moving to higher-paying jobs following coaching at FJA,
  • transitioning from Employee to Entrepreneur,
  • becoming debt-free,
  • doing property investment joint ventures with other Dream Makers at FJA,
  • improved their relationship with money,
  • Lifelong friendships from Accountability Partnerships, etc.

Here are some high-level thoughts on the type of person that we believe is ideal for our programme here at FJA:

FJA is ideal for you if šŸ˜:

  • Your core goal is to accelerate your journey to Financial Independence or Financial Freedom through ongoing mentoring, group coaching and financial education directly from us.
  • You want to build wealth through paths such as starting an Online Business that makes money (e.g. blog, YouTube channel, Personal Brand, Amazon FBA, E-Commerce, etc) , investing in property, investing in the stock market, maximising your career, Becoming 100% debt (and Mortgage-free), Networking with others of a similar mindset and being inspired, etc.
  • You’ll commit at least 30mins per day (or a few hours per week) of your time to take action (e.g. explore side hustles, develop yourself, etc), and do the work towards achieving your goals.Ā 
  • You’re going to get involved in engaging with our supportive community of fellow Dream Makers on Facebook each week.
  • You’ll learn from our Masterminds once a month (Property, YouTube and Blogging).
  • You’re thinking medium to long term and not expecting magical results in one month.
  • You’re willing to be kept accountable through Accountability Partnerships, goal setting, etc.
  • You’re going to ask questions, seek answers and apply your learning to gradually deliver on your Financial Independence Strategy and Objectives, which you’ll set at FJA.
  • You’re interested in building a genuine relationship with us and with other Dream Makers over time.
  • You understand that wealth building happens through the application of process and patience over time.

FJA is NOT ideal for you if šŸ¤Ø:

  • You’re joining to experiment and browse our courses for 1 month or so. With all due respect, please don’t join.
  • You’re not willing to join our community of Dream Makers on Facebook.
  • You simply want to hang around and hide in the background. You won’t get results doing this.
  • You expect one-to-one coaching. We offer one to one on the FJA VIP but it’s very limited due to time.
  • You don’t see FJA as an investment for your future.
  • You’re impatient and looking for a get rich quick programme.
  • You’re looking for regulated “Financial Advice”. We offer guidance and life changing Financial Coaching to accelerate your journey to Financial Independence.

If you’re happy with the above, then please read on to learn more about what we do here at FJA.

He had been part of entrepreneurial teams for a decade and spent over 12 years in the Investment Business in the UK. He is an investor of his own money and has created and sold businesses with family members as well as in his professional capacity. Ken was an Executive (Chief Financial Officer) for years, and operated at a high level in the Investment Management Industry in the UK.

He has a lot of practical life experiences and loves teaching. He not only has strong technical ability, but he is also highly down to earth and can relate to people from a variety of backgrounds.

FJA courses are also co-created with guest experts through our networks, and these become Masterclasses. Such experts are carefully selected to ensure that we are adding considerable value to our community.

Mary Okoroafor is a creative and digital master with an understanding of technical issues that complement the knowledge, skill, experience and networks that Ken brings.

Ken and Mary also teach from experience as they both became Financially Independent aged 34 even with Ken starting life in the UK as a First Generation immigrant in the UK aged 14.

Plus their intentions for creating FJA are 100% for the community. We have been creating free content for years as seen on our blog and YouTube channel. FJA takes our content creation to a whole new level for those with a practical dream of becoming Financially Independent.Ā

Can I Join Just For 1 Month and Cancel?

We HIGHLY recommend that you don’t join for 1 month. This is a nuisance for us from an admin perspective and we don’t want people with that mindset to join FJA. FJA is a Financial Independence focused programme for those thinking medium to long term.

So we prefer you don’t join if your plan is to just join for 1 month.

Are There Any Contracts Involved?

No. This is a hassle free membership. Join and cancel whenever you want.

Can I Share My Membership Login Details With Others ?

No. Your account will get locked out if you share your membership with others. FJA membership is for the specific member. New members can join at: https://FinancialJoyAcademy.comĀ 

We do make an exception for couples working on the same business. If they’re Annual Members of FJA AND run the same business, we allow both of them into the Community via their individual FB accounts.

What Is Your Refund Policy?

We do not offer refunds for our monthly or annual memberships.Ā 

Can I Cancel At Any Time?

Yes. No restrictions and no hassle. Cancel whenever you want.

You simply do this from within your private FJA Dashboard Menu.

If I Cancel My Membership, Will I Still Have Access To The Academy Courses, Coaching Calls, Community Benefits, etc?Ā 

No. As soon as you cancel your membership, you lose access to ALL member courses, masterclasses, coaching calls, community access, etc.Ā 

This is similar to a gym membership in that you no longer have access to a gym if you cancel your membership.

How Can I Cancel My Membership?
