Why We Started Revolutionary Wealth (and How We Can Help You)

Drew Scott

In the Beginning

People often ask me "did you always want to be a financial advisor when you grew up?" To which I tell them that in kindergarten I wrote that I wanted to be a low hanging fruit picker someday. Just kidding, here is the real story.

9 years ago, I blindly got into the financial services industry at the age of 19. Prior to that I had attended a private university for my freshman year of college to play college football. Having worked all through high school, I did not do well being broke for a year. It was pretty clear that I wasn't going to the NFL, so I decided to transfer back home to Missouri Southern State University.

At that time, I thought I wanted to be a CPA, but the plan was always to save enough money to start my own business. I've always been entrepreneurial at heart, and I knew I wanted to help people someday. So, when the opportunity presented itself for a "finance internship," I didn't hesitate. I started my career at Northwestern Mutual with 100 random people on a steno pad, zero friends or family on the list. I had it in my mind that I didn't want to be known as someone who only made it off the backs of the people they knew.

It all started at the picture above, my first office in my bedroom at my parent's house. The office I was tied to was 80 miles away, so I was completely remote.

While in college, I started my practice, and I was full steam ahead. 1 year in to the "internship" I was fully securities licensed and helping people with comprehensive planning at 20. By the time I graduated I was the #4 advisor in the country under the age of 23. I relentlessly worked for that; here was my day to day back then.

I'm not like the average person you will meet. When people ask my wife how she would describe me, she always says the same thing "Drew is unlike anyone I've ever met." I take that as a compliment. Grace has been with me basically since the beginning, we started dating 10 months into me starting this business. Nobody on this planet knows me better than my wife. I'm not still in this business without her.

I climbed to the top of what I was told early on was the definition of success. "Do this and you'll be happy" I thought. But here was the problem, I wasn't happy. My relationship with Grace was an absolute mess, I wasn't a nice person, and despite having a great business I was broke.

In the Bible, the Israelites wandered for 40 years in the desert because they wouldn't listen to God. From 2019-2021 I was wandering in the desert. I continued to have "success", but I was deeply lost. Newly married, our relationship was improving. I was tired of wandering and feeling empty, praying to God for a sign and help.

Finally, my sign from God came two ways. #1 we found out we were expecting, and our son was due in December. #2 I had a mentor call me and I'll never forget his words because I knew it wasn't him; it was clear that it was God. He said from the beginning of answering "Drew, you're mentally weak. Everything in your life is your fault because you're focusing on problems and not solutions. You lack focus and if you don't change, you're going to be out of business. I'm mailing you a book right now that has changed my life, we will do weekly check-ins until you finish the book."

From the day my son was born, nothing has been the same.

Core Beliefs and Values

I'm extremely clear on just a few things in my life and here's what they are.

  1. I was put on this earth to be a great husband and father.

    If I get to the end of life and this isn't how I'm remembered, I didn't live. I believe that to my core and it guides my day-to-day life. I wake up and get after it early to make a better life for my family and get done early. I do not take meetings after 4:30 PM. My children see me in the grind, every day.

  2. I'm called to serve others and leave them better than I found them.

    This isn't my business, it's God's business. I'm just a conduit of service and change. One day I'm going to be dead and the only thing people are going to remember is if I served them well and how I made them feel. Every day I say this prayer "God, help me meet the right people, at the right place, at the right time. And when people meet me, help me fulfill the calling and purpose in their lives even if it doesn't serve me."

  3. Nothing material matters and I'm not too good for anyone.

    100 years from now, I'm hardly going to be remembered by my own descendants, let alone the world. I live in that humility, and it keeps me grounded that the only day that matters, is today. No one will remember the car I drove, the house, etc. A few people will remember me for who I was as a person, it's all that matters. Kindness and humility are a gift.

  4. My core values: Faith, Gratitude, Courage, and Persistence

Revolutionary Wealth, Today

Fast forward to today, all the adversity and challenges of life have created the firm that exists.

Revolutionary Wealth is a firm comprised of 45 years of industry experience. We are a proud independent Integrity Firm.Our capabilities allow us to help anywhere from the day-to-day retiree to a billionaire business owner.

We serve two primary markets. Pre-retirees/retirees and business owners, that's it. Within those markets we solve 3 distinct problems: Taxes, Planning, and Projects. A dollar lost in taxes is a dollar gone forever, without a vision and a plan the people perish, and financial/estate planning done as a project simply doesn't work because life is dynamic and always changing.

This thrusts us into the center of our clients' financial lives. We are helping them retire, sell their business, and have a plan to enjoy more time with the people they love.

Our appearance is small, but our capabilities are vast. We directly manage over $100 million and help clients make decisions on over $500 million every year. Our growth rate is one that puts us on a path to be a $24 billion firm in 30 years.

At every turn, we are leveling up and improving our client experience. Without clients we don't have a business, and we take that seriously. We aren't entitled to anything; we create value every single day.

If this sounds like you, let's meet

Within the two primary markets we serve, we have these commonalties amongst clients that we add the most value to. They are as follows:

  1. Age 59-67

    If you're in this age range, you're prime for the work we do. You're young enough that we can create a proactive plan to reduce taxes and get dollars into the right places relative to your goals. Fun fact, the average client we work with between 59-64 will save $850,000 in taxes over their lifetime having worked with us. 65–67-year-olds still save an average of $450,000 in taxes over their lifetime.

  2. Single divorced or widowed women

    We speak your language, we know how you feel, and we can walk a mile in your shoes. My grandmother has outlived my grandfather by 22 years. Through personal experience it's the market we naturally help and get referred to most often. We lead with an education first approach to help you have understanding and confidence behind what you are doing and most importantly, why.

  3. Business owners earning over $500,000

    You're making real money, and your business is your largest asset. Unfortunately, every other advisor just wants to talk investments with you or sell you life insurance. While those things certainly may be necessary and important, you have no way of knowing until you're crystal clear on how your business and personal financial planning come together. We work to lead with that at the forefront and ironically that makes all the other pieces of planning even easier to implement.

Wealth is a Mindset

Lastly, I'll leave you with this. Wealthy and poor are mindsets, rich and broke are circumstances. So many people we meet with are materially rich and have a poor mind. The most fulfilled and successful people we serve are wealthy by definition that they have what money can't buy.

If you're retired reading this today and you are scared to spend money, you need a plan. If you're refusing to spend money when you know you can, you're living out a poor mindset. To be fair, you've seen it passed down generationally, and you've lived within your means, it's a hard habit to reverse.

Take the trip, spend time with those you love and care about, get outside and active, turn off the news. I would encourage you to take out a piece of paper and write down the daily things that bring you peace and happiness.

The Future Looks Bright

Neither Asset Allocation nor Diversification guarantee a profit or protect against a loss in a declining market. They are methods used to help manage investment risk.

Active portfolio management, including market timing, can subject longer term investors to potentially higher fees and can have a negative effect on the long-term performance due to the transaction costs of the short-term trading. In addition, there may be potential tax consequences from these strategies. Active portfolio management and market timing may be unsuitable for some investors depending on their specific investment objectives and financial position. Active portfolio management does not guarantee a profit or protect against a loss in a declining market.

Rebalancing/Reallocating can entail transaction costs and tax consequences that should be considered when determining a rebalancing/reallocation strategy.

Tax-loss harvesting is a strategy of selling securities at a loss to offset a capital gains tax liability. It is typically used to limit the recognition of short-term capital gains, which are normally taxed at higher federal income tax rates than long-term capital gains, though it is also used for long-term capital gains.

Not associated with or endorsed by the Social Security Administration, Medicare or any other government agency. Maximizing your Social Security Benefits assumes foreknowledge of your date of death. If as an example you wait to claim a higher monthly benefit amount but predecease your average life expectancy, it would have been better to claim your benefits at an earlier age with reduced benefits.

Any references to protection or steady and reliable income streams refer only to fixed insurance products. References to protection can also refer to estate planning. They do not refer, in any way, to securities or investment advisory products.

Fixed Annuities are long term insurance contracts and there is a surrender charge imposed generally during the first 5 to 7 years that you own the annuity contract. Withdrawals prior to age 59 1/2 may result in a 10% IRS tax penalty, in addition to any ordinary income tax. Any guarantees of the annuity are backed by the financial strength of the underlying insurance company.

Mutual Funds are sold by prospectus. Please consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses carefully before investing in Mutual Funds. The prospectus, which contains this and other information about the investment company, can be obtained directly from the Fund Company or your financial professional. Be sure to read the prospectus carefully before deciding whether to invest. An investment in the Fund involves risk, including possible loss of principal.

A REIT is a security that sells like a stock on the major exchanges and invests in real estate directly, either through properties or mortgages. REITs receive special tax considerations and typically offer investors high yields, as well as a highly liquid method of investing in real estate. There are risks associated with these types of investments and include but are not limited to the following: Typically no secondary market exists for the security listed above. Potential difficulty discerning between routine interest payments and principal repayment. Redemption price of a REIT may be worth more or less than the original price paid.

Converting an employer plan account or Traditional IRA to a Roth IRA is a taxable event. Increased taxable income from the Roth IRA conversion may have several consequences including but not limited to, a need for additional tax withholding or estimated tax payments, the loss of certain tax deductions and credits, and higher taxes on Social Security benefits and higher Medicare premiums. Be sure to consult with a qualified tax advisor before making any decisions regarding your IRA.

Indexed annuities are insurance contracts that, depending on the contract, may offer a guaranteed annual interest rate and some participation growth, if any, of a stock market index. Such contracts have substantial variation in terms, costs of guarantees and features and may cap participation or returns in significant ways. Any guarantees offered are backed by the financial strength of the insurance company. Surrender charges apply if not held to the end of the term. Withdrawals are taxed as ordinary income and, if taken prior to 59 1/2, a 10% federal tax penalty. Investors are cautioned to carefully review an indexed annuity for its features, costs, risks, and how the variables are calculated.

Please consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses carefully before investing in Variable Annuities. The prospectus, which contains this and other information about the variable annuity contract and the underlying investment options, can be obtained from the insurance company or your financial professional. Be sure to read the prospectus carefully before deciding whether to invest.

The investment return and principal value of the variable annuity investment options are not guaranteed. Variable annuity sub-accounts fluctuate with changes in market conditions. The principal may be worth more or less than the original amount invested when the annuity is surrendered.

QLACs cannot be purchased with Roth or Inherited IRA dollars; value of such IRAs cannot be included in determining 25% premium limit. If Funding Source is Traditional IRA, 25% limit is calculated by combining the total value of all Traditional IRAs as of December 31st of the previous year. If Funding source is Employer sponsored qualified plan (401k, 403b and governmental 457b), 25% limit is calculated on an individual plan basis based on the plan's account value on the previous day's market close. If you previously purchased a QLAC, the calculation of your 25% limit is more complicated. Please contact an attorney or tax professional for additional details. Any guarantees of the annuity are backed by the financial strength of the underlying insurance company.
