Travis Stanley
Hi, I’m Travis, but most people call me Trav. I’ve been a financial adviser and giving holistic goal-setting advice for over a decade.
Before I found my passion, I was a Mine Surveyor. I drove around open-cut mine sites in Queensland and New South Wales, hammering pegs in the ground. It wasn’t my cup of tea. I can relate to those who only work for money, not for passion or joy.
I’ve always been interested in investing and getting my money to work for me. I was one of the very few people who invested early in my 20s. I even convinced my now-wife, then girlfriend, to join me without any advice. Let’s just say I learned a lot and made some mistakes along the way.
After some investment wins and losses, and a few years of not enjoying my job, I decided to learn more. I enrolled in the first qualification of many towards becoming a financial adviser. I didn’t plan to make it a career, but after completing one course, another, and another, I started getting asked by friends and colleagues about investing, strategies, and what I knew.
One day, a workmate had a conversation with me about the fundamentals of investing. They said, ‘You should do this for a job.’ I laughed it off and said, ‘I could never do that.’
But that was a limiting belief. I love what I do and get to go to work every day and help everyday people achieve their financial goals. Whether it’s paying off debt, investing for the first time, or helping clients retire after years of hard work with thorough planning, strategy, and action. I get as excited as my clients when we finally reach that goal we set years ago.
I’m based in Brisbane, Queensland. I have a ‘semi-retired’ wife, two young kids, and we love spending time at the beach, hanging out, fixing up houses, and staying fit and healthy.
How can I help you today? If you’re in Brisbane, let’s catch up in person! If you’re anywhere else in Australia, no worries—I’m still happy to chat and find the best solutions for you.
