Turning People Skills Into Profit
For many, the idea of launching a business in finance feels out of reach – too much industry jargon, too many barriers to entry, and so on. Global Financial Training Program, however, was built to challenge that perception, making commercial lending accessible to anyone willing to learn, regardless of background.
“Ninety-five percent of the people who take our program have no financial experience whatsoever, and we teach them everything,” said Founder and CEO Philip Dushey. “As a matter of fact, our biggest challenges are ex-bankers, because they still think like bankers.”
For a one-time investment of $19,950, participants receive everything needed to launch their own loan brokerage business, including four days of comprehensive training to lender approvals, a professionally designed website, marketing tools and ongoing mentorship. Graduates are set up to operate under their own business name, with the freedom to provide loans nationwide and with no royalties, territories or continuing fees to limit their success.
While this model is structured to be approachable, success isn’t just about following the program. Certain personal traits make a real difference, and one of the biggest is the ability to build and nurture relationships.
“People do business, especially in the finance business, with people they like,” said Dushey, explaining that being a “people person” is a true driver of success. “If you’re someone who hates dealing with people, this probably isn’t for you.”
Graduates who can build genuine relationships with clients often find themselves securing repeat deals, referrals and long-term partnerships that fuel steady growth.
That personal connection is what turns opportunity into longevity. While the program equips graduates with the essentials – from training to lender access – it’s the ongoing mentorship and direct support on real deals that give new brokers confidence in their first months and beyond. This hands-on guidance ensures participants aren’t just starting strong but are building businesses designed to grow over time.
For aspiring entrepreneurs, the takeaway is clear: You don’t need to come from finance to build a thriving finance business. With the right mindset and the right support, Global Financial Training Program empowers individuals to step into ownership while making a lasting impact on the small businesses that fuel the economy.
