How to become an African Millionaire in America with Douglas Eze- Episode 79
Douglas A. C. Eze established Largo Financial Services Inc. in 2000 with a vision to provide individuals and small business owners with the education and guidance needed to achieve financial freedom. As a wealth strategist, former registered securities representative and award-winning insurance agent, Douglas believes in helping his clients find money in places they may be throwing away money unknowingly and unnecessarily. He also equips individuals with the information and knowledge to make sound financial decisions.
The hard work and dedication Douglas has exhibited in his many years of business has brought him widespread recognition and awards. He has been awarded the ACE Award through American Classic Agency for four consecutive years. National Life Group has recognized him as a Chairman’s Club Qualifier and Diamond Club member, a significant recognition reserved for the company’s top insurance representatives throughout the nation. Douglas is a distinguished member of the exclusive Million Dollar Roundtable, an organization of notable financial representatives. He was awarded the 2013 EPNET Male Entrepreneur of the Year in addition to being nominated among the Top 100 Financial Advisors of 2013 by the International Financial Leadership Association (IFLA). As a leading business figure, Douglas has also been featured in Profile Magazine and Power Broker Magazine as one of the Top 25 Top Wealth Builders and Financial Professionals in the Tampa Bay Area.
With over 18 years of experience in the financial services industry, Douglas has continually studied and trained to stay current on the principles and trends of personal finance and wealth accumulation. His ability to explain concepts to clients in a manner that they can understand is what Douglas is most known for. His “common sense”, pragmatic approach when considering financial alternatives stands out among others. His passion for this industry is what is behind his belief that Largo Financial is “where financial dreams come true.”
Largo Financial Services’ mission is to help clients discover their path toward wealth and financial independence by improving their financial intelligence.
Key Takeaways:
Personal branding builds strong relationships - Clients wanted to work with Douglas because they trusted him specifically, not the company he was working for. This made him realize he could start his own company and entrepreneurial journey because his personal branding was so strong.
A good company invests in its staff - Douglas’s company “Largo Financial Services” is so successful because he ensures his employees are always getting continuous training and education. He provides room for his staff to build a “franchise within a franchise” and create their own personal branding within the company.
People are always watching - Whether they make it known to you or not, people are always observing your every move and action. Be sure to act in a way that makes others recognize you for how you want to be seen.
Words of advice for success - In order to succeed, stay consistent with your efforts by focusing on your goals. Never cheat anyone or step on others to get to the top, and don’t be envious. Try to give back when you can and remember that you control money, not the other way around.
Create a solid income foundation - Having multiple income streams is the dream, but you must have strong foundational income first or else you’ll ultimately fail. Douglas is known as the Wealth Strategies and Generational Wealth Creation Expert, a role that serves as his foundation. Thanks to this foundation, he is able to pursue separate income streams like real estate and Airbnb.
