Have you ever felt this way?

“I’m overwhelmed…everyone online says something different.”


You’ve tried reading articles and watching videos, yet the advice feels confusing & contradictory.

This training cuts through all of that and gives you one clear, simple path you can follow.

“I don’t know where to invest or which accounts to open.”

 

Terms like stocks, ETFs, and retirement accounts can feel complicated when you’re just getting started.

We show you exactly how to begin, which accounts matter most, and how to choose investments that support your goals for the year ahead.

“I feel behind on retirement and don’t know where to start.”

 

Planning for the future can feel intimidating.

We’ll walk you through simple steps to choose the right accounts and build a plan that can help position you for the retirement and financial life you desire. 

“I thought I needed thousands of dollars to start investing.”


This is one of the biggest myths about the stock market.

You’ll learn how to begin with as little as $50 and how to grow your portfolio steadily, even if you’re starting from scratch.

“My savings just sit in the bank… and they’re not growing.”

 

It’s frustrating to watch your money do nothing for you.

We’ll show you how to finally make your money work for you and support your long-term wealth goals.

“I’m scared of losing money or repeating past mistakes.”

 

Fear stops most people from ever getting started.

You’ll learn a beginner-friendly approach designed to reduce risk and help you invest with confidence.

Make This The Year You Finally Learn How to Invest

Investing Doesn’t Have To Feel Complicated

What if this was the year you stopped being afraid to invest and started earning income from it?


Investing in dividend-paying is simple. You own stock in some of the world’s biggest and best companies, and those companies pay you for holding them. The payments arrive every month or every quarter, and they keep coming whether you check your account or not. 


That is what dividend investing makes possible, and it is one of the most consistent ways to build income you can count on in retirement.


You can start with $50, and it’s a strategy you can understand and put on autopilot.


Let's make this the year you put yourself first, and let’s start building a financial plan. 

Hosted by Ashley M. Fox

Hey, I'm Ashley. I built my career in Asset Management on Wall Street at J.P. Morgan Private Bank, where the clients I served had millions to invest and a team of professionals guiding every decision. Then I walked away from that world, to do something bigger.


I left because I saw the gap up close. The strategies protecting generational wealth for the wealthiest families in the country were not complicated. They were simply never explained to everyone else.


So, I started explaining them. Since founding Empify, I've taught millions of people the same principles I learned inside those offices, and built one of the fastest-growing financial education companies in America doing it.


Here is what I know after 16 years in this work: wealth doesn’t have a color. It is also not reserved for the financial elite. The key to financial ease is shifting your mindset while also understanding how to make your money work for you.


….and you do not need millions in the bank to start.


That is where dividend stocks, growth stocks, and ETFs come in. Our method is not about getting you rich quick, or keeping up with market trends. It is about building reliable, consistent cash flow with a plan. I've spent my career teaching people who assumed investing was only for "other people" that owning shares in companies you know, use, and believe in is possible for anyone, regardless of background or starting point.


Now I'm here to show you how to take your first steps, so you can not only reach your financial goals, but exceed them.
