Our mission has always been to bring unbiased life changing solutions to the Financial Literacy field that generates sustainable and consistent results. We've been around for over five years and we do not sell any investment products or services---our only role is education.
All of our partners at Financial Literacy Partners are Certified Instructors of the LFE Institute's curriculum which is being used across the country. Our partners have achieved amazing results and have a strong passion for helping people in these challenging economic times. The LFE Institute's curriculum teaches strategies and techniques to help people "find" or "save" money from each paycheck or from the dollars they have to work with when there is an interruption in income. From our evaluations we know that our workshops have helped people "find" or "save" over $9 million dollars.
Financial Literacy Partners helps people build stronger financial futures by reducing their financial stress. This allows them to remain more focused at finding their next employment opportunity or at work. Financial stress lowers corporate profits, reduces productivity and morale, as well as increases tensions at home. Recent studies have estimated that anywhere from 40% to 71% of employees are living paycheck to paycheck.* With the higher costs for many of the items we all use everyday, many people are struggling just to make ends meet. Our workshops help people take ownership of their financial futures which is not only a huge benefit for them personally but also for their employers as well.

A quote from Dr. Stephen R. Covey in his foreword to: The 4 Laws of Financial Prosperity will help sum up the financial stress issue. Dr. Covey is also the author of: 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
"Having spent my career helping individuals and corporations increase productivity, I've become convinced that one of the greatest, unnoticed drains on individual productivity is the distraction that financial stress puts on people. When up to 50 percent of employees spend 21 or more hours at work each month dealing with the stress of personal financial issues, it can't help but affect their focus, decision-making, relationships, and creativity."
