Greenlight Economics is a boutique, privately-owned company directed by our Trainer and Economist, Christopher Smith.
Chris has a background in Finance, Economics and Psychology(BSc Hons) and has worked in a number of positions as a Consultant and Trainer. At the age of 24 he ran his first company, contracted to AAPT, Australia’s third largest land line telecommunications company; training and managing up to 30 contractors at once, he successfully grew the company to become the largest direct marketing arm in the group in WA by 2003.
Since then he has worked with a number of organisations, mainly in the training and development of staff, to improve their level of engagement and overall performance in the workplace. He is the author of The 4 Laws of Financial Freedom and lives with his family in Myaree, WA.
No. We do not provide Financial Advice or Financial Planning services, nor do we wish to.
Instead we provide Financial Education, Coaching and Facilitation for people who just need a simple and effective strategy - NOT a complex (and expensive) financial plan which requires lots of money to invest with.
Whilst traditional financial advice and financial planning services still have their place, they are inherently limited because they rely on someone else telling you what they think you should do. More-so, there is a risk that others' motivations may not be in your best interests.
Getting us on your side of the table is a sensible pre-requisite before you approach another professional for their advice. Big businesses, banks etc. have economists working to help them make smarter decisions... why should your life be any less important?
If you want to achieve Financial Freedom in your life, you need to develop the skills and habits to make the right decisions and take the right actions for yourself. This can only be achieved through effective education and coaching, and it does not take long to achieve better results in your life if you have a good facilitator to support you.
We have options starting from $42 per week, with the most common package fee being $1,997 (all-up, nothing more to pay). This provides you with a 12-mth program of one-on-one support, tools to optimise your cashflow and a personalised Economic Report of your possible future.
Whilst no guarantees can ever be made, the financial benefit of working with us typically far-exceeds the cost, with many client on track to being $10's (even $100's) of $1,000's better-off than they would have been without having us on board.
Very rarely. It is very hard to learn something new and not get better at it over time.
The key point to make here is that it is YOU who is in the driver's seat, so the answer to this question is largely up to you.
Are you motivated to learn? Can you give a few minutes of your time and attention to this each week?
Although we provide you with the best-possible tools and support, you are the one making the final decisions, so your success is largely up to you. Some people move forward a lot quicker than others, depending on how well they grasp what we teach.
No. Having the support delivered to you one-on-one by an experienced trainer allows us to deliver the information to you on a level that’s easy for you to understand. Different people take different times to integrate the new systems and knowledge in to their lives, however all of our clients so-far have reported that the whole process was motivating, well-paced and easy-to-follow throughout.
It is quite common to come across a situation where one partner is very engaged in what we do and the other partner is not. This is usually because one partner is the 'financial manager' in the relationship and the other is not.
This is fine, provided your partner does not object to you dealing with us. We probably still need to meet with them at least once-or-twice at the outset, so that they have a general understanding of how we will be working with you. However from there-on, there is no issue in them acting almost like a ‘silent partner’ whilst you develop and manage the new strategy for both of you.
