Ray is committed to helping people achieve financial freedom through investing. As a self-made investor who languished in poverty in his childhood, he feels the need to empower other people who are stuck in financial hardships.
— Ray Cartier’s determination to help people turn their financial situations around has never wavered. Having faced poverty growing up, he has a perfect understanding of how tough life can get, which is what drives him to educate people about making great investment decisions. He reveals to us what it was like growing up with a single dad, how he broke the cycle of poverty, his passion for spreading financial literacy, and his other business interest.
Having been raised by a single dad who had a few possessions to his name, and barely made enough money to take care of his family, Ray and his sister had a rough childhood in Brampton, Ontario. He says that struggling to get three square meals a day and being bullied by his peers since early age is what made him take money seriously. Most 11-year-olds are playing computer games and being kids. But at that age, Ray says that he was making newspaper deliveries to supplement his dad’s income. He discloses that when he was 16 years old, their financial challenges became too much and he was forced to move out where he first lived in a homeless shelter provided by their church, but eventually became homeless.
When a kid is thrust into such a situation, they typically have no choice but to drop out of school and look for ways to make money and survive. Ray says that he got a lucky break when Forever XXL hired him as a part-time sales associate and get promoted to assistant manager early. Since he was a hard worker, he caught the attention of the manager. Around this period he went to City Adult Learning Center in Danforth, Toronto, to finish high school.
Ray admits that all these hardships gave him discipline and made him understand the value of money. He notes that his experiences have led him to care about improving people’s financial life. He also acknowledges that he’s not a know-it-all. He has previously lost money on investments, but one of his biggest financial setbacks came in the form of a medical bill following a back injury.
Most of the information that one could need about investing is available on the internet. Asked what makes his company special, he says that he wakes his students up to their blind spots. Drawing from his experience, he protects them from getting burned. His students have someone to approach with their frustrations, and they are trained to master various aspects like price action, trading, reading charts, and risk management.
Ray discloses that he also runs a social media marketing agency on the side; some of the specific tasks include creating social media ads, setting up funnels, launching products, and promoting content.
Asked what he’d say to his younger self, Ray Cartier says that he would tell himself to not be held back by his flaws because everything would eventually work out, and that he must push hard despite the challenges to make his dreams true.
Ray reveals that remembering his struggles of early childhood is a great source of motivation, but he also watches speeches, video clips, and motivational films to keep him going. He also says that he spends at least one hour every day on personal development.
