Today we’d like to introduce you to Victorian Hardison.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Victorian. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
I was raised in College Park, GA, from the ages of 4 to 13. Playing football for Old National then transitioning into Clayton County at Lovejoy Middle & High School. I continued to play Quarterback in high school in which I had started playing the position four. In my senior year of 2010, we victoriously breezed through an undefeated season including 10 wins, the region championship title & the offensive player of the year award. After graduating high school, I attended Savannah State University on a full athletic scholarship. Innately, I identified with being business-oriented, but couldn’t go without recognizing my intuitive love for technology. I initially enrolled as a Business student but later decided to officially declare my major in engineering. After 3 years of attending Savannah State, I transferred to Kennesaw State University to complete my undergraduate studies.
During my final collegiate semester, I worked part-time at Top-Golf and had the pleasure of meeting the CEO of Key Engineering Group. Through conversation, I discovered he was the founder of the electrical engineering firm that garnered 80% of their contracts through Hartsfield-Jackson International, the busiest airport in the world. He offered me a job interview, which led to an internship in my final semester of college and full-time position starting the week after graduation. The vision for this opportunity positioned me to build capital and increase my savings.
After researching multiple ways to generate different streams of income, I landed on Forex trading. Like uninformed people who are apprehensive about the foreign exchange market, I remember scrolling on Instagram and came across a young lady posting profits from her investment. I never came across the platform before and inquired about her experience thus far. She articulated this opportunity so well that I signed up within a few hours. She only started 2 weeks before I did and had minimal experience. That did not deter me from learning, but rather became a challenge for me to dive into this new skill-set and grow capital at a limitlessly scalable rate.
The beginning of January 2018 sparked the entry to a new journey that would propel me to be fully engaged in learning about the foreign exchange market. Four months in I invested thousands of dollars into educational resources and attended conferences to learn the skill without making any return on my investment. On April 2, I invested $500 into my trading account and turned it into $4,100 over the span of three weeks. From that point, my message became clear—I need to trade ForEx and teach everyone around me about this skill. Several organizations within this network focus on the number associated with recruiting, but that’s where Stocks Rising differs. Our focus is designed to leverage each other as educational resources, impacting our communities through financial literacy and self-sustained trading mentorship.
Fast forward one year later, I walked away from my full-time job at Key Engineering Group. I worked with a developer to build my very first 4-bedroom home. Now that I’ve acquired a skill that allows me to own two of my most valuable assets—time & money, I have the freedom to invest in others by teaching them everything I know.
Since April 19, 2018, the Stocks Rising network has grown from a one-man start-up in Atlanta to internationally educate over 400 members as of August 2019. A unique strategy we’ve copyrighted and maximized on is 10PND. Over the past 7 weeks, this strategic trading pattern has a proven record of 81 wins and 4 losses, resulting in 20 individuals quitting their jobs to secure their vision of financial freedom.
Many have a misconception of what forex is, how it works & what to expect. We’ve changed the game by fostering an environment based on love and tirelessly educating, mentoring and growing with one another to extreme levels beyond trading.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Absolutely not, there were struggles in all transitions, but as far as the business, it has also had its trials that had to be overcome:
-I started out while working 50+ hours as an engineer.
-My learning journey began when Hartsfield had a power outage, so my work-life was extremely hectic.
-The team I bought into was focused on growth and expansion rather than trading, therefore forcing me to seek more information and teach myself about this skill.
-Once I started building the team, the one and only document I was running my team based off of, got deleted from someone I had known for years but was able to scramble and get things back up.
-After going from zero members in April of last year, we grew to over 200 members in October and became the fastest-growing team lead within the Tradehouse organization. Unfortunately, I had to remove one of my top leaders for conflicting visions of the overall mission of Stocks Rising which led to losing roughly 100 members over the next two to three months.
-After rebuilding the rapport of the team, a platform we use to educate the entire team was deleted by an individual after the person was excused from the team.
Malicious things have occurred in attempts to destroy our organization, an organization built on helping and empowering other people. & truthfully, it wasn’t until writing this that I’ve reflected on how much turmoil the members of Stocks Rising has seen, and now I completely understand why there’s such a love factor within our environment.
Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about Stocks Rising – what should we know?
My business is Stocks Rising, LLC. It began with me simply being introduced to the most liquid financial market in the world, the foreign exchange market. After spending four months self-teaching, and coming into profits after a few weeks, I called my undergrad lab partner Aasiya Coppin-Ali. I told her of my success in growing a few hundred dollars to over $4,000 in 3 weeks and to go register. Our three-person group began when she and a young lady signed up the same day. With no elaborate business plan or huge development of branding, Stocks Rising came to mind. That 3 person iMessage chat grew to 15 people in two weeks, to now almost 400 members across the world.
Now…
Everything above is practically said, and repeated from every single person who starts within this company of iMarketsLive. “Man I started and I changeddddd my life!”. Sadly, rather it’s their reality or not, people join iMarketsLive and see the compensation plan of $600 for 12 sign-ups, and decide to sell the most LA Fitness Memberships without actually working out. Yes, selling trading, but not having the skill, not teaching the skill, not promoting that people should even learn the skill. That’s the difference.
Is there a characteristic or quality that you feel is essential to success?
I believe one characteristic about myself that has allowed me to have success in multiple high-level situations, is my ability to tune into my own vibe. One thing about the world we live in today is that there are millions of vibrations being sent out from any and everyone 24/7 via real life or various platforms even smart devices. Everyone outwardly projecting, what’s the thing to say, to wear, to watch, to EAT! What we deem funny, what we sympathize with, what we ridicule, how we should operate our business, what we should spend more time doing…
At the age of 15, I had the words “If you don’t stand for something, you will fall for anything!” tattooed on my arm. I had never begun thinking about how to articulate how I felt in interactions or discussions with others, but that was it. I knew I would always stay true to myself, always be willing to go “against the grain”, chasing my own inner piece would give me the best opportunity to succeed on my terms.
