Today we’d like to introduce you to Ashley Witherspoon-Shafer.
Hi Ashley, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I started working for this business I know own over a decade and half ago, working online, part time and really deciding I wanted to help others with their finances. Since I acquired the business from the previous owner, we have grown and now offer Credit Counseling and Debtor Education
certificates for our clients filing bankruptcy and are expanding into life insurance, investments and debt restructuring to help our clients thrive financially in life.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It has definitely been a bumpy ride. The application process for approval from the United States Trustee has taken years and I have to have their approval to issue certificates for clients when they complete the Credit Counseling and Debtor Education courses we offer. It took over a year to get the business officially moved over to my name from the previous owner with the trustee’s approval. The credit counseling approval process has taken another year and half. During the time I have also been working on the accreditations for a life insurance agent and obtaining my SIE, series 6, series 63 and am currently workings towards my series 65 to be able to offer our clients the best investment options available. The amount of CE legally required to maintain the licensing to run my business is a part time job in itself. I have been lucky enough to acquire a fully functioning business with clients so I am really looking forward to be able to expand and grow my company further and really help our clients be financially successful throughout all stages of life.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
Our classes aim to provide our clients with the knowledge they can use to thrive financially.
Ashley and her team work with individuals filing bankruptcy by helping them obtain their certifications and understands the relief it can offer. Bankruptcy is about second chances. It is a legal means of helping individuals and families retain their household possessions and an automobile and receive relief from crushing debt and creditor harassment.
Ashley has over a decade of experience in assisting individuals file their bankruptcy and knows that each situation is unique and different. We understand it’s usually not because they didn’t manage their money, it’s because they found themselves without enough money to manage. So we are expanding our services to offer life insurance options to our clients as well as access to investments to help them grow and thrive financially after bankruptcy. We are also offering services to help restructure debt and pay it down quickly for those who are thinking about filing bankruptcy but have the ability to make financial changes to get out of debt without having to file.
Our goal is to help others thrive financially by bringing the knowledge of wall street to main street!
What matters most to you? Why?
My daughter is my biggest priority. I am a single mother who homeschools and that entails a lot especially with being a member of 2 different homeschool cooperatives, so keeping that environment for my child to thrive and succeed in is what matters most to me. But in addition to that, helping people has always been something I have been drawn to and this business finally gives me the ability to provide others with the knowledge they need to thrive financially. I want to provide others with the access to the knowledge that most miss out on in school to succeed financially in life and prepare for their futures.
