In the face of what they have achieved so far and the long list of achievements under their belt, many highly accomplished individuals take the option of sitting back and enjoying the fruits of their labor. Meanwhile, others choose to aim even higher, elevating their brands and businesses to greater heights in the bid to make a more prominent mark. In the case of Replace Your University founder Michael Lush, the impressive portfolio attached to his name serves as a reminder that he has more people to help and more gaps in the financial education industry to close. On a mission to maneuver today’s go-getters toward a financially stable future, the well-respected authority is intensifying the efforts of Replace Your Banker.
An acclaimed entrepreneur, Michael Lush has built and cemented a reputation across several sectors not only for his acumen and technical know-how but, most significantly, for his passion for helping people build the life that they want. His brainchildren are the materialization of a deep-seated desire to support others as they make headway toward their goals.
Far from where he currently stands, Michael Lush initially started a humble career in the mortgage industry. But, given his go-getter attitude, work ethic, and drive, it was not a surprise when he quickly rose through the ranks, emerging as the Director of Operations for one of the largest lending firms in the country.
However, in 2008, Michael Lush had to deal with the personal implications of a shaken financial landscape and find his footing after the 2008 financial crisis forced the firm to close down. While he eventually returned to take another leadership position, the real estate financing expert would leave the mortgage scene in 2014 to launch a business and design a course revolving around educating consumers on effective ways to purchase or refinance their homes.
Replace Your Mortgage, the venture that would soon evolve into Replace Your University, aimed to steer people away from their dependence on real estate financing. “This is tough for me to say, even to this day, because this was my career for seventeen years but utilizing a mortgage is truly the most archaic and inefficient way to finance real estate,” said Michael Lush.
In light of the fair share of downsides that mortgages have to offer, Michael Lush established Replace Your Mortgage. Yet, another question came to the fore: how do I own a bank if owning a bank is a far better deal?
The creation of Replace Your Banker sought to answer that question. Focusing on teaching people how to create the single biggest benefit in the federal tax code as the bedrock on which to build their financial, retirement, and estate plan, this new addition to the line of go-to resources under the Replace Your University umbrella makes it possible for anyone to take loans from their own piggy banks.
Along with Replace Your Mortgage, Replace Your Mindset, Replace Your Employer, Replace Your Dollar, and Replace Your School, Replace Your Banker is a clear demonstration – strategically provided by Michael Lush – of alternatives that exist in the current economic landscape. Their launch and the position they now occupy in the financial education scene speak of the vision and power of Michael Lush as a thought leader and industry power player.
