There was always something kicking around the inside of Freddie Rick's brain that kept forecasting his personal financial success. Even when he was down on his luck, the founder of BetterTrades was certain that one day he would acquire great wealth.

"I knew I was destined to do something," Freddie Rick says. "I always knew I'd have money, but I wasn't sure how I'd get it."

His career started off on the wrong foot after Freddie Rick was honorably discharged from the Marine Corps. Freddie began a carpet cleaning business in the San Diego area and was working long and hard to make it profitable. The business wasn't showing much traction and Freddie was getting frustrated. He ultimately decided to pull the plug when an employee robbed him at gunpoint one night.

Uncertain what to do next, Freddie had a friend who had gotten involved with network marketing. He encouraged Freddie to attend a meeting and it didn't take long for him to see that his skill set fit perfectly with the business. It wasn't long before Freddie was the company's No. 1 presenter and its top revenue generator. He left that company for another network marketing organization and once again worked his way to the top of the chain, again as the No. 1 money maker. He was a millionaire.

A few personal problems began to pop up and Freddie found his career and his life spiraling downward. He lost his fortune and found himself living in a friend's garage. That's when he met the woman who he would eventually wed. With her faith and assistance, Freddie began to climb his way back to the top. This time he did it through the stock market. He studied every book and watched every DVD he could find that was available on the subject. He began to develop strategies and techniques, and tweaked them to make them safer and easier to understand.

Freddie Rick put all the material together and began to trade the stock market. After losing nearly all of his investment capital, it began to click. Pretty soon Freddie had replaced the money he had lost many times over. Soon he was a millionaire once again.

Now he was able to offer the same material to other people, allowing them to learn how to generate money in the stock market. Knowing how the stock market changed his life inspired Freddie Rick to make the information available to everyone. That opened the door to BetterTrades becoming the top stock market education company in the country. Thousands of students have bettered their lives because Freddie Rick assembled the material and was willing to share it with others.
