In this episode, we have with us Jay Gabrani, an Accountant who left a significant position in Price Waterhouse to pursue his desire to become a businessman. True enough at the age of 25, he left his corporate career and went on to start his own businesses fulfilling a dream he kept telling his mother back in the day. It was in 2005 just right about after his first child was born did he get on real estate. He was able to make a seven-figure real estate portfolio out of it. But truth be told, it was not after many trials and challenges that he was able to reach that peak in his real estate career. Then came along, what he did not expect, the death of his wife. That's when after that, he took many years of sabbatical to make sense of everything and to take care of his children.  Unprepared for what was to come at that time, as spouses, they did not have anything, like insurance, wills, and things to this effect. All he had was his real estate properties and these saw them through those times to tide them over. After years of hiatus, he realized so many lessons and that's when he put up Prepared Fathers to empower fathers and spouses, for that matter, to take financial responsibility seriously for their own family's welfare and for what is unforeseeable to come. Listen in to Jay as he walks us down his journey of making it big in real estate despite of many setbacks as well as the trial that shook his life and his children's, made him retreat from the world for quite a while and the lessons those circumstances brought about; not to mention the confident spirit that made him rose from the bottom and began an enterprise that would empower other fathers to secure their family's future.   What You Will Discover in This Episode: It's not about resources it's about being resourceful Why you need to exercise due diligence especially when you become a more sophisticated investor How real estate saved him and his family a whole lot from financial problems during that most difficult time in his life How to prepare yourself for life's curveballs ahead Why did he start his business "Prepared Fathers" What are "money apps" and how do these helps organize your life A thing or two about saving and investing, and being creative in earning money at a young age What are the checklists you need into consideration to be financially prepared?    Quotes: “It's not about resources, it's about being resourceful.” “First step, you must get a “Will” because if something happens, the last thing you want your family to deal with is the financial stress on top of whatever emotional stress.” “The non-negotiable in my house, you must figure out ways that you're going to earn money because they always want things.”“I have a saying with the children's skills, pay the bills.” “What skills do I teach my kids? They are: marketing skills, sales skills and investing skills.” “As long as you're teaching your children that they can be in science, in art, in sport, whatever it is, it doesn't matter, whatever their passion is, it's great. They can utilize those skills.”   Resources: For financial checklist, you must need to know about, click here: www.preparedfathers.com/fire Connect with Jay Gabrani Website LinkedIn Facebook Pinterest Instagram   Resources: No Money Down by Robert G.

It's a common cause of stress for families... money. The economic impact of COVID-19 isn't helping. Nearly 36 million Americans are out of work and almost 70% of adults in this country say they are worried about money. (https://www.nfcc.org/wp-content/themes/foundation/assets/files/NFCC_Discover_2020_FLS_Datasheet%20With%20Key%20Findings_Clean.pdf) Jay Gabrini wants to help and his organization, Prepared Fathers (https://www.facebook.com/preparedfathers/) , is doing just that. He joins us to share tips on fatherhood and finances.

“Prepared parents are better parents.”  -Jay Gabrani   Life is full of uncertainties and we do not want to be left without hope and help when these uncertainties come. Wise people do well to prepare. In this episode, Art interviews Jay Gabrani, Founder of Prepared Fathers, to expound on the subject of financial preparedness. Jay shares his heartbreaking story and how this opened his eyes to the importance of preparedness, especially when there are kids involved. Like Jay, we all face stormy days, days that seem unending and hopeless. But his story can motivate us to see our situation in a better angle. It can be just a knockdown and not a knockout, a molehill and not a mountain. But these facts can change depending on how prepared and equipped we are. If you think you’re prepared enough, tune in and see if you truly are. Good parents tell their children to prepare; better parents show them how.    Join the Shower Epiphanies Today        Expectation Therapy       Facebook       Twitter       LinkedIn       Instagram Highlights: 03:49 Being My Own Boss 05:33 The Sabbatical 09:09 Grieving Process 14:19 Financial Preparedness 20:32 A Good Insurance Can Save People 27:50 Numbness To The Outside World 34:32 There Is Always Hope 39:56 Molehills And Mountains 42:07 Knockdown Not Knockout

Jay Gabrani built a 7-figure real estate portfolio which he started in 2005. This portfolio allowed him to take a multi-year sabbatical to deal with heartbreaking personal tragedy when his wife passed away in 2014. Today he empowers fathers to secure their family’s financial future as the founder of Prepared Fathers and hosts the podcast A Minute With Jay for fathers who want to become more financially prepared.  In this episode, you will learn how to become financially prepared for any obstacle you face. Unfortunately, too many people realize the importance of financial preparedness when they are deep in a process they don't want to be deep in. Jay kept his finances in order his entire life and still wasn't fully prepared for when his wife passed away. Being financially prepared now allows you to avoid money problems later when events like this occur or are on the verge of occurring. Financial freedom is a goal many people have, but financial preparedness is just as important.

Jay Gabrani is the found of Prepared Fathers. He's the father of three children, an entrepreneur, and a real estate investor. When his wife unexpectedly passed away in 2014 he was left as the executor to her will. Believing that his accounting education and entrepreneurial background had equipped him for this role he was shocked to find how challenging it was for him. On top of navigating the loss of his wife and becoming a single dad over night there were so many unknowns with her accounts, safety deposit keys, etc. Jay began to ask himself what would have happened to his family if the situation had been reversed and his wife and kids were left to navigate the finances on their own. He reach out to other fathers to ask what might be. Were they prepare? Would their families have unnecessary hurdles that could be avoided? We talk with Jay about the low hanging fruit that you can take action on today. Jay gives advice on how to instill sound financial habits in your children. His policy is that half of every dollar they earn or receive goes into savings. Once it grows large enough they invest it and the kids are involved in where it gets invested. His kids all do lemonade stands. Not because they make a bunch of money but because they learn about buying and selling things. He encourages his kids to embrace technology and the opportunities there. His kids buy and sell things on Kijiji, a Canadian classifieds website. It's not about making money, it's about learning the skills of buying and selling. We talk about investing. He shares timeless advice and encourages us to ignore the trends and choose the investment vehicles that make sense for your lifestyle and your family. Does it interest you? Do you have the time to nurture it? Are you able to educate yourself so as to minimize the risk?

"How hard you work has very little to do with how well you retire. You are either Financially Prepared or Financially Negligent." -Jay Gabrani He achieves this through his one-on-one and group coaching programs and his daily podcast, A Minute with Jay. He is also a frequent podcast guests on other shows and does a limited number of speaking engagements. Key Points from the Episode with Jay Gabrani: Jay Gabrani is the founder of a company called Prepared Fathers, to help fathers be ready financially for major, unexpected situations life can throw at us. This was, of course, borne of Jay’s experience as a husband and father. Jay grew up in Canada, and took a trip to India to spend time with his grandfather, who instilled in him a desire to build his own business. He didn’t start that way, but built a path to be able to be an entrepreneur, working for himself since 1997. In the early 2000s, Jay got married, bought a house and started a family. All at ‘hyper speed’, as he puts it. His first business was a restaurant franchise, which he ran successfully for 13 years. He’s gone on to other ventures, including investing in real estate. The biggest benefit of being an entrepreneur is the freedom and choice to design your life. He decides what time is for business versus family versus exercise, etc. With three young children at home, Jay worked and his wife stayed home with the kids. In 2011, his wife slipped and fell, leading to getting prescribed Oxycontin to deal with the pain, which she soon became addicted to. Along with the addiction, his wife was battling depression and pain, while Jay’s style was to snap out of it and do what you have to do (similar to my approach when my wife went through her worst in 2011, too). His wife decided she didn’t want to live, and took her own life in 2014, leaving Jay and the kids behind. Overnight, Jay became a single father of a a 5, 7 and 9 year old kids. He used his real estate investments to fund taking a sabbatical from working so he could focus on his kids. He expected that to last a year, but ended up being a four year period. The devastation is not something he feels you can ever fathom until you’re going through it. Being a professional accountant, Jay expected he would handle being the executor of his wife’s estate to be easy. He quickly realized how mistaken he was. From not knowing her passwords, where the key was to her safe deposit box and more. And he realized how much worse it would be for his wife if he was the one who had died since she knew even less about the things an executor needs to know than he did. That woke him up to the need for a little bit of planning, a little bit of preparation. He says his company’s mission is to help fathers plan for life’s little curve balls. My reaction was that this is all right, but easier said than done. Having these conversations is hard. People don’t like to talk about, “What would happen if I/you died?” Through his tragedy, he realized he could help other fathers avoid that. There are a lot of fathers in trouble for various reasons, and he can help solve that. It’s not about money, it’s about skills. If you lack the skills you need for what you’re facing, go and acquire them. Look at how you’re spending the resources you have (time and money) and see if you can spend those resources in a way that moves you forward. There are some basics to be sure you have in place that don’t have to cost much, like wills and basic life insurance. A $250-500K life insurance policy would have made a tremendous difference for him and his three young kids when his wife died, and not having it put his family at risk. The most important step, and likely the hardest, is the conversations. Not just between the two parents, but key others like parents, siblings, step-siblings or step-parents, etc. Doing that work up front will make things smoother and better and give you a sense of release. We got into howyou can have these conversations as it can be really hard. I shared my own struggle with my wife to have this talk, especially since there was a scare around her survival. Jay enlightened me with another approach. Rather than making it about doom and gloom and the fear of being stranded, appeal to the family or the children. For the sake of the children, let’s talk about this. And once it’s done, we don’t have to do it again. He suggests getting all the papers in order and together in one place, and then having the conversation focused on “here is where you find everything, in place.” Jay put together a checklist for the key things you want to have in place to be prepared that you can get for free at preparedfathers.com/day As fathers, we often feel a need to be a provider and protector, If we don’t have these things in place, we aren’t really providing or protecting our family. And this transcends gender-stereotypical-roles. For any parent, this is a truism. We are leaving our family unprotected and unprepared. Jay shared a brilliant thought that feels like it’s at the heart of this entire show - in order to impact the world, you have to take the worst moment of your life and convert it. For him, that message is even more important because his kids are watching, and he owes him this.

Are you ready for any situation life might throw at you? While it’s impossible to prepare mentally or emotionally for the challenges you might face, you can prepare financially. The first step is to make the change internally—and then get educated around getting your money matters in order. Jay Gabrani is the creator of Prepared Fathers, an educational platform that supports men in securing their family’s financial future. He offers fathers programs and coaching around becoming a better investor and preparing for the unexpected. Jay is also an accountant by training, an experienced entrepreneur and an avid real estate investor. He ran a digital marketing agency, Golden Key Marketing, from 2008 through 2014, before taking a sabbatical to raise his three children. Today, Jay joins Emerald to share the personal tragedy that inspired Prepared Fathers and discuss how his experience as an accountant and entrepreneur didn’t prepare him to be the executor of his wife’s will.

Ep #107 - What would happen to your family if you passed away suddenly? In today's epsiode, I sit down with Jay Gabrani, founder of Prepared Fathers, to discuss this exact question. After Jay's first child was born in 2005, he jumped into the world of real estate investing. Despite several challenges along the way, Jay built a multiple seven-figure real estate portfolio. That portfolio helped him take a multi-year sabbatical to deal with heartbreaking personal tragedy when his wife passed away in 2014. This experience lead Jay to reevaluate the purpose of his life while taking a multi year sabbatical. Before his wife passed away, Jay thought he was financially prepared. After going through the experience of being the executor of his wife's estate, he realized he wasn't. Today, Jay makes an impact raising his three children and empowering Fathers to secure their Family's Financial Future as the founder of Prepared Fathers. He achieves this through his one-on-one and group coaching programs and his daily podcast A Minute with Jay. He is a frequent podcast guest and does a limited number of speaking engagements.   Learn More About Prepared Fathers and Jay Gabrani: Prepared Fathers Website: www.preparedfathers.com/matt Jay Gabrani Website: https://www.jaygabrani.com/ Connect with Jay on Social Media: Facebook (Personal): https://www.facebook.com/jaygabrani Facebook (Prepared Fathers Page): https://www.facebook.com/preparedfathers/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaygabrani/   Whether you are new to The Driven Entrepreneur Podcast or are a fan, please don't forget to rate, review and subscribe to the show.

Born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Jay’s entrepreneurial flame was fanned on a 1987 trip where he saw firsthand the successful business his grandfather built. "The only way to be truly free is to own your own business” his grandfather told him. This statement had a profound effect on Jay. Upon his return home, he told his parents… "I'll be working for myself by the time I'm 25 years old." At his parents' urging, Jay continued his education and acquired a degree in chartered accounting from the University of Waterloo and worked in Big 4 accounting firms. He left the accounting world the day before his 25th birthday, thus setting the stage for his entrepreneurial career. Ever since, Jay has had failures and successes in the various businesses he has owned. After his first child was born in 2005, Jay jumped into the world of real estate investing. Based on his experience as an entrepreneur, Jay was well-equipped to make the transition into real estate investing. Even though he experienced several challenges along the way, he built a multiple seven-figure real estate portfolio. Having that portfolio help Jay resiliently deal with a heartbreaking personal tragedy in 2014. This experience lead Jay to reevaluate the purpose of his life while taking a multi year sabbatical. Before his wife passed away in 2014, Jay thought he was financially prepared. After going through the experience of being the executor of his wife's estate, he realized he wasn't. Today, Jay makes an impact raising his three children and empowering Fathers to secure their Family's Financial Future as the founder of Prepared Fathers.
