Client Testimonials

What others say about our financial coaching and mentoring services…

"I wish I would have started financial coaching with Todd two years earlier – before I lost $50,000 following the advice of the "do it my way" gurus. Not only is he helping me create a tailor fit wealth building strategy that suits me, but he also taught me exactly how I went wrong, and why I made those mistakes to begin with – something you don't get anywhere else. Todd's wealth building approach is so fundamentally sound that you begin applying it to every area of your life and you are left wondering why none of the gurus are telling you this stuff. His approach is truly refreshing, motivating and empowering. Thanks, Todd.

Jeff Adams -Investor, Denver, CO.

"Even though I have 21 years more experience in the investment business, I don't know anyone with more wisdom than Todd. His perspective and talents shifted my whole investment company and helped me multiply monthly cash flow ten times from $5,000 per month to $50,000 per month. If I were to hire anyone to run my business, Todd would be the first on my list."

Gary Craig – Entrepreneur and Former Hedge Fund Owner, The Sea Ranch, CA.

"Because of your expert advice and experience in risk management, you saved me $40,000 in losses on a real estate investment. Having you as a financial coach is one of the best decisions I've ever made!

Jennifer Dickens – Real Estate Investor, Los Angeles, CA.

"Todd's coaching has directly helped me:

Purchase two properties and increase the equity over $300,000.
Learn to manage the numbers in my business to remain profitable even in the slow season.
Negotiate deals that have saved me tens of thousands of dollars including most recently saving $2,700 on a vehicle that was already priced below blue book.
Hire a former CEO of an advertising agency as our VP of Sales and Marketing and structure the deal to lower my risk by only paying for future growth as it puts money in my pocket.

But the real value from my coaching relationship with Todd came from the changing of my thoughts. I have learned many techniques that I will benefit from and the balance I have gained in my life is something that not every coach can teach. I would recommend Todd for anyone who is serious about changing the way they do things. He will not waste your time or his."

Dan Cosgrove – CEO, Mercantile Systems, Brentwood CA.

"Just wanted to thank you for your advice about (name withheld for legal reasons). I recently cashed $220K out of his deals making over 20%. The money was over a month late but arrived. A real estate lawyer thought it was the worst contract he had ever seen; from the first sentence he knew it was bogus. Working with you really helped even though in hindsight it was so apparent it was a scam. I got an education and learned to do my due diligence and let the numbers be the basis for my decision."

Name Withheld For Legal Reasons – This scam was uncovered and shut down by the S.E.C. afterwards. Investors who did not get out early lost everything.

"I only coached with Todd for a few months four years ago and I am still benefitting from the experience as I complete my fourth positive cash flow real estate deal. I am well on my way to achieving my financial goals because of the focus and clarity that resulted from those coaching sessions years ago."

Sally Trussell, EdD. – Independent Investor, Littleton, MA.

"One year of working with Todd has produced more and greater results than the hundreds of self-help books I have read over the past 45 years."

Stephen Klink – Oakland, CA.

"I wanted to share the good news with you. We are sending off a check tomorrow that will put to rest the last of our credit card debt. It is a surreal feeling, but a moment we've been looking forward to for two years now. We couldn't have done it without your help – we owe you many thanks. And since you walked through so much of it with us, we wanted you to be the first to know. Thanks again."

Name Withheld By Request, Oregon

"Your knowledge of business resources and finance opens up doors I didn't even know existed. I feel more confidence and safety in my decisions because your contrarian style of questioning gets me to really look and understand a situation from all angles."

Loral Langemeier – President, Choice Performance, Inc., San Rafael, CA.

"Creating and maintaining wealth is a simple formula and not a mystery. Todd Tresidder has that formula. He makes it so easy that my two young children started implementing his systems."

Beth Dispenza – Entrepreneur, Malibu CA.

"In just 12 months of coaching we accomplished the goals we set out to achieve and got more than we expected. We expected you to teach us how to take our real estate investing to the next level – which you did. You helped us save tens of thousands of dollars by avoiding many mistakes and getting us to question our thinking and approach deals in different ways. You gave us tons of investment strategy tips, and kept us focused until we got the right deal. We feel emotionally grounded; we know what we are doing and why; we know how to control risk; how to save thousands through skilled negotiating; and we have a complete action plan for years of future growth.

Another benefit was how the regularly scheduled coaching calls kept us accountable, moving forward, and there is no way we would have accomplished all this without your coaching. I'm so amazed at what has happened to us in just one short year. Thank you."

Jeni & Eric Kurowski - Owners, CCR Storage, Willis, TX.

"I just wanted to drop you a note and let you know your financial coaching session on negotiating financing for my home was one of the best investments I ever made. I followed your process step by step and here are the results: no lock in fee, appraisal fee, credit report fee, doc prep fee and discounted other fees. Total savings on fees alone was $2,950 – not to mention a lower interest rate. It took me just three hours of research and phone calls. The investment I have made in your services has sure paid off, and thanks again for the advice."

Jerry Fraize – President, Select Transaction Services, Inc., Coral Springs, FL.

"Before we started the coaching process with Todd, we had an idea of where we wanted to go, but were having a hard time getting there. We had read books, attended a seminar or two, listened to tapes, and had even taken some actions steps. However, we still knew that to move forward more successfully we needed something more. Until we started the coaching process with Todd we didn't know what that something was. It was this. We needed focus. Todd gives us that. We needed encouragement. He gives us that. We needed someone to take the mystery out of what we wanted to accomplish and he certainly does that. We needed to be able to "think outside the box" and he is a master at that. We are thankful for how he works with us and highly recommend him as a great coach."

Roy and Loll Martinez – Owners, Construction Co., Greenville TX.

"Your questions cut right through that little voice of doubt in my head and helped me get clear on the skills and thinking processes I need. My financial goals are no longer just a pipe dream. Now I have a road map of where I need to go, and I know how to get there."

Jane E. Latimer, M.A. - Owner, The Aliveness Experience, Denver, CO.

"You saved me from thousands of dollars in mistakes. You hone right in on the important issues. With your support I am gaining the skills and confidence I need to trust myself and make decisions."

Greg Howe – President, Here'sHowe Consulting, San Francisco, CA.

"The impact on me has been tremendous. I'm more "aware" now of my financial decisions and make conscious decisions about them. Rather than zero savings and increasing debt I'm now saving over $1,000 a month and my credit card bills are being paid off each month (funny how all that money seemed to disappear in the past), and I'm spending more time increasing my financial knowledge."

C. Farren – Consultant, Pleasant Hill, CA.

"Working with Todd as a financial coach had an immediate payoff. In the very first session the advice he provided saved us enough money to pay for his services for an entire year. We are very grateful to have realized such an immediate payoff for our investment with Todd."

Gordon Darling - Entrepreneur, Rockport, ME.

"My wife and I were recently shopping for a new car, an activity I have always hated. But after my session with you on negotiating skills, I understood the process much better and was able to come out feeling good about the results. Better still, I am sure that single coaching session saved me in excess of $5,000 on the purchase of my car. Needless to say, I am a VERY happy client."

Roy Conley – Walnut Creek, CA.

"The weekly call format of coaching keeps me focused. Every week is an opportunity to create enough value to pay for a year of coaching."

David Anderson – Retired Investor, San Francisco, CA.

"I have come across many roads in my life, business, real estate and investing where I needed guidance in simple terms, FAST. Who do I ALWAYS call? Todd Tresidder! The only coach and mentor I know that gives hard core excellent service based on YOUR values. He always gives more value than you will ever see anywhere else.

Jeanna Gabellini - Owner, MasterPeaceCoaching.com, Martinez, CA.

"My impression of your abilities as coach and mentor are that you are solid, capable, experienced and sincerely committed to the visions and goals of your clients. I feel strongly that I made the right decision in partnering with you as my coach."

Diane Butler – Independent Coach, Rocklin, CA.

"The knowledge you shared about the mortgage lending game immediately saved me $7,000, lowered my risk over the life of the loan, and saved me hundreds in closing costs. But you have saved me much more than money. Your lessons on energy, focus, journey versus destination and personal financial principles have given me higher highs and higher lows which have really paid off over time. Thank you, thank you, thank you."

Valerie Casares - Brentwood, CA.

"I just want to say how awesome it is working with you. To find a mentor with actual business experience, real estate, and financial background is huge. Not only that but your value to living a balanced life with your family. In the past I had become frustrated looking for a mentor with just one of these traits, much less to have the ability to teach and really mentor on top of that!

I have benefited more in the last year than the first six years in business. We will continue to grow in a controlled manner which I can clearly pin point why we are growing and how we are growing by adding value to our clients! Our financial situation is in awesome shape with monthly savings to retirement accounts, paying ourselves each month, and having reserves in the bank! Our knowledge of purchasing real estate is even unmatched by most realtors.

I can honestly say that in this last year I have made 20 times the amount I have paid you, and I fully expect this number to keep growing…"

Dan Cosgrove – President, Mercantile Systems and Surveys, Brentwood, CA.

"I initially came to the coaching calls looking for you to tell me what to do because this is what I've done all my life. What I've really learned working with you is how I'm very capable of thinking and making decisions for myself."

Nahrein David – Consultant, San Ramon CA.

"I hired Todd for financial coaching, and I learned very quickly that I would benefit in several other areas of my life as well. In just five weeks it has already been a life changing experience. Todd has taught me to look at time and money with a whole different mind set. He has also given me the tools I needed to build stronger relationships with my spouse, business partner, friends and family. I am already seeing results, and my experience has been awesome."

Shelley Canario – Independent Real Estate Agent, Gilroy, CA.

"Thanks so much for your guidance. You really have a gift for cutting through the verbal and numeric distractions to make a complex subject clear."

Mike Bergida – Realtor, Virginia

"I contacted Todd to become financially independent. In the first call he showed me how I was already financially free if I chose to see it that way. What we quickly discovered was the difference between the financial freedom I thought I wanted and the personal freedom I was truly seeking. It is the difference between financial wealth and true wealth. Thanks to Todd's coaching I am quite a different person now. He has assisted me in taking a journey I expect to lead to amazing places – places I didn't even know I wanted to venture toward when I began."

Stephen Klink – Oakland, CA.

"I can't remember the last time I had someone blow my head off my shoulders like you did today on both the creativity and portfolio/finance topics. I really appreciate your help."

Ken Turek - Attorney, San Diego, CA.

"People want to be lead. We did and we sometimes hoped that in our coaching calls you would have the "magic answer". You made us critical thinkers to find those answers ourselves. That is your strength. You are a great coach."

Jeni & Eric Kurowski – Owners, CCR Storage, Willis, TX.

"I got absolutely clear on both my financial strategy and the blocks that were holding me back from moving forward with my plans."

Barry Bettman, CPPC, Owner, Success Coaching, Half Moon Bay, CA.

"Many people claim to be "financial advisors" but we choose Todd because he has produced extraordinary results for himself and others using methods he has personally developed. In other words, he truly walks the talk."

Patrick & Nancy Dean – Dean Seminars Intl., Dillon Beach, CA.

"Working with you gives me the courage to enter into the financial jungle, and once there you provide me with the guidance I need to avoid getting caught in the quicksand."

Greg Howe - President, Here's Howe Consulting, San Francisco, CA.

"After working with Todd for only a few weeks I have noticed great results in both my business and my life. Todd helps me bring all of my resistances to the forefront, and, working in unison with me, forges the tools to either overcome them or make them my ally. With Todd on my team, my wealth is assured!"

Mike Jerry – Solopreneur

"My business was in crises and my mind was in a haze so the last thing I wanted to do was talk on the phone with a coach. Yet, after an hour with Todd, I was thinking clearly again, had defined actionable goals for the next week, and felt back on track with my business. Bottom line is we accomplished our goals within weeks, the crisis is behind me, and my business is stronger than ever. Coaching with Todd has paid for itself many times over."

Dan Cosgrove - President, Mercantile Systems and Surveys, Brentwood CA.

"Financial freedom seemed like so much work before, but now it seems so much more attainable. What I've learned through coaching was that I was already doing a lot of things right and just needed to shift a few things to really make it happen. Now I can see how to make money work for me rather than me work for money."

Jennifer Dickens – Vice President Sales, Los Angeles CA.

"Thanks for the two hours we spent on the phone two summers ago when I "test drove" your services. I was a mess and you really helped me. I put what you said on a desktop stickie and have quoted you many times to friends. I'm betting you have helped a lot of people with your message. You sure did for me."

Keith D. Mack – Langley, Wash.

"I created specific and measurable results in just four sessions. After what I learned from you in the last session I think you are charging way to little dollars."

Beth Dispenza – Entrepreneur, Malibu CA.

"I was really impressed by the depth of your writing and the analysis that went through it. Keep up the good work."

Philip Shah – Subscriber in India

"With Todd's coaching I have been able to really integrate my personal vision and mission with my business objectives. In fact, for the first time in my 25+ year career, my business is truly driven by my deepest values and vision. I now feel that I am doing what I really want to do with my life. My clients sense my enthusiasm and the fire of my mission to be of real service to them. By the way, in the very first quarter of my business, I made more money than I have ever made as an employee, even in a career filled with VP level executive positions. I am thrilled."

Jerry Llewellyn – President, Amera Consulting Group, Austin, TX.

"Your coaching has given me many valuable insights – too many to name. However, I want to mention two: when making a purchase or analyzing financial options "shop and negotiate". The way you teach this has saved me many times the cost of your services. Next, the meaning of "responsibility". It does not mean accepting blame, but instead is about learning to accept things as they are or do something about them. The way you teach these two ideas has proven invaluable. Thanks, Todd."

George Dickerman – Attorney, Riverside, CA.

"You were a great sounding board during my recent investment property acquisition. Your questions saved me thousands of dollars by helping me to see parts of the deal that may have been overlooked. Your candid style and thorough approach to problem solving and due diligence was highly beneficial to my analysis."

Will Mattox – Owner and President, Storage Parks Inc., Cheshire OR.

"Todd is a master coach. He is extremely intelligent and resourceful, and will in each session take you to higher and higher levels of personal creativity and financial IQ. Working with him is an investment in your most important asset: yourself.

Ken Turek – Attorney, San Diego, CA.

"When we started financial coaching Todd assessed our personal situation and helped us realize our goals were within reach now. We thought we needed to take five steps to get there, but instead we just focused and got it done. In less than six months we had our first major deal and we have a realistic plan to be financially free within two years or less. Todd's coaching was invaluable, and best of all it never really cost us anything because just one tip he gave us on our last deal saved more than enough money to pay for all the coaching thus far."

Eric & Jeni Kurowski – Owners, CCR Storage, Willis TX

"We just hit another break through as our business…(a paragraph long list of business milestones achieved). I hope you see these updates for what they actually are and that is this is happening because of the work we did together years ago. You helped us shift our thoughts and practices which made us look at ourselves and how we do things. This then helped us create the infrastructure and contracts that we have today."

Dan Cosgrove – former client, Brentwood, CA.
