Dedication and Acknowledgement

First, I am thankful to God for granting me the strength to persevere and the capacity to withstand life’s obstacles. Your blessings nurture my goal to give back to society, and I am genuinely grateful to you.

To my loving wife, Sara, and my beautiful daughter, Miranda, you have been the driving force behind my career and the completion of this book—your unwavering support and encouragement through every step of the process. Your love, patience, and understanding have been my anchor, giving me the determination to push forward. Thank you!

To my dear mother and father (Lord, rest your soul), thank you for instilling in me strong values and creating a loving and nurturing home. To my siblings, thank you for your unconditional support. To my cherished Da FAM and my TSU community, thank you for giving me experiences that have shaped me.

I also want to convey my sincere and profound thanks to my TOAMS Financial team, who supports my investment vision daily. Also, I am grateful to the individuals who have shared their stories, experiences, and knowledge with me in enriching the pages of this book.

Thank you to all my clients. For over 15 years, you have allowed me to become a part of your life and invest your hard-earned money. Without your trust and support, I would not be where I am today.

I am overwhelmed with joy as I express my deep appreciation to the remarkable individuals who have contributed to the creation of this book. Your support and the opportunities you have provided have allowed me to learn and grow, infusing my work and investment philosophy with a sense of purpose.

Lastly, I dedicate this to my grandfather, Julian Price Sr., a survivor of the USS Indianapolis. He was one of 317 crew members who miraculously survived a 1,196-member ship torpedoed in the Pacific Ocean during WWII.

My grandfather was stranded at sea for five days, fighting off shark attacks, hypothermia, and enduring other mental conditions; they fought until they were finally rescued. His remarkable courage and unwavering determination are the very reasons I exist today. Thank you, Grandpa Price!
