I've worked 6+ years in Investment Banking & Wealth Management, advising multi-millionaires on M&A transactions and how to invest their money in the capital markets. 

Meeting incredibly fascinating individuals and peek behind doors that remain closed to most. 

Two things all these people had in common: 

→ First, they were entrepreneurs 
→ Second, they set goals that seemed unattainable at first glance

Which leads to the question: 

How did I end up there?

I wasn't born into this world, nor did I have wealthy parents or an impressive network. I grew up in modest circumstances in a working-class family in Vienna, raised without a father in a social housing project.

What would you do if you were given the opportunity to completely reinvent your life?
​
That was the burning question in my mind when I dropped out of school to become a chimney sweep for a living. I was clueless about my next move, but I knew one thing for sure: I craved more. 

More success, more wealth, more freedom.
 
I embarked on a wild adventure that plunged me into the infamous world of investment banking. But that wasn't the end of the story—it was just the beginning.

I even wrote a book about it, sharing the rollercoaster ride of my journey and the key principles that helped me break into Wall Street without any industry experience or a target university degree.

Creator Money Playbooks

Creator Money Playbooks is the go-to newsletter for creators and solopreneurs who want to learn more about money and grow faster with money systems.

I'm a full-time financial coach and I help creators and solopreneurs transform their finances. It’s rewarding work—I'm not just changing my clients’ lives but often their families’ futures, too.

But there’s a problem, my time is limited.

There are only so many:

→ Calls I can jump on
→ Clients I can take
→ Hours in a day

Within a year of coaching, I was maxed out. 

The upside? I’m doing work that resonates and my business runs on referrals. 
The downside? I can only work with a select few.

That’s why I built Creator Money Playbooks—to scale my coaching lessons and frameworks with thousands.

FINWORKS

I’ve been a solopreneur for over a decade. 

My first five years were amazing—I was earning more than ever, traveling the world, and enjoying the freedom I’d built. Then COVID hit in 2020, and everything stopped—except my bills.

I’d always been good with money, but COVID exposed some holes in my finances.

As I faced the possibility of eviction, I got serious about my finances. 

I needed a system that could:

→ Manage irregular income
→ Pay off debt quickly
→ Scale my business efficiently
→ Build a strong emergency fund
→ Balance personal and business finances
→ Provide peace of mind and financial freedom

The following year, I’d made more than ever before and paid off $64,389 in debt in just one year.

Friends noticed and started asking for help, and soon, their friends did too. After some hesitation, I embraced this role and officially launched my financial coaching business, helping others achieve the same financial freedom.

Financial Coach for Creators and Solopreneurs

Self Employed

The taste of freedom made me unemployable.

My goal in life is freedom, and to me, that means working for myself.

I measure success by how many days I can wake up with the option to do whatever I want.

My first business? 

Selling candy in high school, where I was earning $300 a day at my peak. 

From that point I was hooked. I had the taste of money and freedom.

I used that money to buy my first car and launch my first "official" business at 18: 

Liberty at Dawn (custom denim).

After denim, I started a photography business. 

Times weren’t always smooth, and I took on gigs like dog sitting and Uber to fill in the gaps. But that didn’t matter—as long as I controlled my time.

There’s nothing wrong with working a job; in fact, it’s often simpler:

→ The pay is steady
→ Investments are set up for you
→ You focus on one role most of the time

Solopreneurship, though, is the complete opposite.

I’m okay with that because, for most of my life, I’ve been free to do:

→ Whatever I want
→ Whenever I want
→ However I want

To me, that freedom trumps any employee benefit package.

Financial Coach for Creators | Helping you earn more, stress less, and build freedom through your work.

I help creators build financial systems where creativity, money, business, and lifestyle work together.

Most creators focus on their craft and ignore the business side. When money gets chaotic and burnout hits, they're forced to quit. I built Creator Money to prevent that.

I show creators how to pay themselves from their worst months, build buffers that buy time, and run businesses that support the life they want to live.
