THE INVESTORS ABROAD BOOTCAMP

"Gaining a better understanding of investing and organising my personal finances was a big goal for me this year - but one that seemed so complicated to get started with! Marcela changed this and, with her ever positive and encouraging attitude, I felt like I had a trusted friend to guide me - I had the boost I needed. Marcela is approachable and warm, and I never felt embarrassed to ask any questions or seek further clarification - this was the most refreshing and amazing thing for me. Also, Marcela has supported me in such a way that I have now not only got my personal finances in order, and started to invest in ETFs, but I have also gained valuable confidence, clarity and basic financial literacy - which I can take on with me as I continue to learn. I feel much more empowered, independent and excited about my financial future now, and I have Marcela to thank for this. Thank you, Marcela!"

"My name is Athina Kopanou and I am an interior designer/architectural visualizer based in Berlin. For the last couple of years, I have wanted to do something more for my future, but I didn’t know exactly where to start or what it was that I have wanted. After some thought, I decided to do an investment in myself and give the Investors Abroad Bootcamp a try. The Bootcamp exceeded my expectations! Not only through the knowledge that I gained through it but also because it helped me organize my finances and set some concrete goals for the future, which was definitely something that was necessary for me and it is what keeps me motivated. I have to say that I had zero prior knowledge of investing, so it was very helpful that Marcela eased us into this new world, step by step, beginning with simple information and tasks but finally reaching the last step of actually investing!"

"Investors Abroad Bootcamp was one of the best things that happened to me in 2021! At the beginning of last year, I set a goal to start investing. I knew I want to learn it properly, but once I started educating myself, I felt lost in the endless amount of (questionable) information. I was extremely happy to have come across the Bootcamp and Marcela. The Bootcamp exceeded my expectations greatly: not only did I learn how to manage my finance, introduce a money management system in my daily routine, set financial goals, get a deep dive into ETFs, but also start thinking of my financial future and stability, the crucial part that is often ignored by young people. Marcela made sure that the Bootcamp material is comprehensive, well structured, and easy to follow. Constant support and guidance were provided by Marcela in every step of my journey to become an investor. One of the most exciting and rewarding parts of the Bootcamp was finally opening my investment account, buying my first ETFs, and BECOMING AN ACTUAL INVESTOR! It was one of the most empowering moments in my life!"

"I was actively looking for ways to manage my income as I had just started earning much more than ever before as I had just finished my studies and wanted to do it the best I could from the start and for healthy habits. After participating in an introduction to money management Workshop hosted by Marcela, I directly enrolled in the Bootcamp. Having a community of like minded women and learning with a female expert was exactly the comfort I was looking to get into this topic. I believe that knowledge is power, and this turned out to be very true. Learning how to manage my income and invest allowed me to start chasing my big dreams. I left the Bootcamp feeling confident with my financial choices, knowing how to proceed to grow my wealth and having already started to invest in the stock market. The Bootcamp also pushed me to create other income streams for myself and I started looking into creating a small business as well as some freelancing activity. Marcela’s expertise and way to guide us step by step, transforming this huge (and complicated) topic into small pieces we could wrap our heads around, exceeded all my expectations. I left with more clarity than I ever thought possible when talking about finances. For a newly employed person like me, it was the best investment I could make. I truly believe it was life changing and I will still be uncovering the effects of it in decades. Thanks Marcela!

"I can only recommend the finance group coaching to anyone who is a finance newbie! I not only finished the course feeling empowered, excited and equipped to start my investing journey, but also connected to a group of power ladies who are embarking in the same journey as I am. Marcela has a unique ability to explain a “dry topic” and make it easy to understand and entertaining! I’m so thankful for this experience and the attention to detail and love Marcela put into developing the content"

"I really liked Marcela’s hands-on approach and her ability to integrate my existing knowledge into the program and to help me see the bigger picture. With her help, I was able to understand the topic more holistically and to structure my investment strategy. Whereas before, a lot of my decisions were based on my gut feeling, I now have a very thought-through approach. If you are thinking of working with her, definitely do it! Marcela’s calm and easy-going personality, mixed with great expertise, will make it feel like being coached by a good friend, who really has your best interest at heart.”

"Before our sessions with Marcela we were hesitant and uninformed, so investing felt risky. Now that we have a portfolio strategy in place we feel excited and optimistic about growing our money. Marcela is truly dedicated, and her approach is personal and goal-oriented.10/10! We couldn't recommend her more."

"The coaching with Marcela is the way to go for a solid personal financial management system. She will make you realize the importance of managing your finances and make you aware about the mistakes to be avoided, helping you create a clear and concise path to improving your income and becoming financially independent. She gives a clear and precise explanation about the financial markets making them approachable and understandable so that you finally get familiarized with them and start investing. Every person who desires to improve their finances and become financially independent needs to take this program.”

"After procrastinating for another month by attending the investing workshop given by Marcela, I finally opened a broker account and invested in a few ETFs. I made a profit of +10% in only 4 months! Before the workshop I felt overwhelmed with different investment options and the procedures around it. I loved the fact that the workshop was an in-person experience and the friendly and intimate setting making me bond with other women. I'd say it's a great way to get actionable advice on how and where to invest in a super nice and fun setting!"

"At first I was scared to start investing, but Marcela created a secure and safe space and took my fear away by guiding me through every single step. By sharing her knowledge about stocks and the economy she has helped me to understand how the market is working and I have gained some powerful insights. Marcela has shared with me a great investment strategy which fits perfect my individual needs. I really can recommend her as a coach, she will make you feel comfortable with investing."
