BetterTrades Growth

One of the most important criteria for determining the viability of a company is revealed by the growth that has been exhibited. Companies with a bright future will show growth, but companies that are managed poorly or have a limited upside will go the other way. BetterTrades has grown leaps and bounds since its infancy.

BetterTrades began as a dream of founder Freddie Rick, who saw the stock market as a way that almost anyone could learn about and turn their knowledge into profit. Freddie Rick spent a lot of time and money to uncover the strategies and techniques that are used by the company today. The BetterTrades growth pattern started with Freddie, who admittedly made a lot of mistakes, but learned from the errors to create the system used by thousands of traders today. His willingness to make his methods available to the public was the first step in sparking the BetterTrades growth spurt.

Freddie and his wife, Mitzi, began the process by permitting couples to visit their home over a weekend, where the Rick’s would personally teach them their trading system and act as a mentor through the process. But the one-one-one plan wasn't broad enough to allow enough people access to the material, so they began to look for another way to expand the message of financial freedom in order to include more people.

The next step was to take the program to local churches, where it was known as "Biblical Principles of Financial Freedom." But that, while fulfilling, also provided a limited audience to receive the information.

The next step established the BetterTrades growth trend. The Ricks decided to produce the information in a workshop format and take the information around the country. In the early days Freddie would teach the class and Mitzi would help the students and do the behind-the-scenes work. The process began to work and BetterTrades began to grow. More and more workshops were scheduled and additional instructors were added to the staff of coaches.

BetterTrades was formally chartered in 2002 and began the evolution into what the company has become. The company now takes the message of financial independence to more than 100 cities in North America.

During the last year the BetterTrades growth has spread abroad. The company began to conduct programs in Ireland, with eyes on new sites in Europe. In 2009 BetterTrades expanded further, taking the message to eager ears in Malaysia, Singapore and New Zealand.
