Why Work With Us?
This programme brings together 3 of our core strengths:
Building a successful membership business e.g. Financial Joy Academy
Growing online brands fast e.g. The Humble Penny and Financial Joy Academy
Investing and making money work on money e.g. we have a mastery level of experience in investing.
There is no one else that we know out there that brings these three unique areas together.
Some people teach you memberships and some teach investing, but no one brings them together.
We are doing this because we know how to and can see the ripple effect that it will result in as it's
purpose-led 😊.
Our Story
In 2017, we started The Humble Penny to help people take control of their finances, grow their money and achieve Financial Independence.
Our audience has grown significantly and so far we’ve helped over 5 million people to improve their relationship with money.
A lot of people started contacting us for coaching and as much as we’d love to help everyone one-to-one, it just wasn’t possible.
We began to seek a solution that would use everyday technology to amplify our message and coach thousands of people directly at low cost.
This gave birth to our own membership platform, Financial Joy Academy (FJA), which we launched in February 2020.
Our mission with that platform is to help 10,000 people achieve Financial Independence by 2030 because no one should get poorer as they get older due to financial illilteracy.
Launching Financial Joy Academy has been an incredible success as we now have hundreds of members who are building wealth together each month and on their way to achieving Financial Freedom.
We’ve learned so much from starting and growing FJA that we now want to fulfil a second calling, which is to empower other people to create their own Membership Businesses.
However, we didn’t want to stop there. We also want to help you become Financially Free faster.
So in addition to helping you build your membership business and create recurring monthly income, we’ll teach you how to invest your profits and build wealth.
The programme is packed full of value and it’s the best investment you can make with your money.
Join the many others who have invested and got a Return On Investment in week 1 of launching.

Frequently Asked Questions
The programme will cost you at least £5,000 Plus VAT.
You’ll be informed of the actual programme cost once you’ve had an enrolment call with Ken Okoroafor (Coach)
Most people pay the cost in full, but there is an option to pay it over 3 equal instalments.
Members have received a return on investment typically in the first month of launching their membership business.
Some have even made back the full amount they invested in the first 2 weeks of launching.
Overall, we’d say assume that you’d get a full return on your investment within 6 months of launching.
In addition, we expect that you'll 10X your investment in 2 years but this will require you to work hard and keep growing your membership business.
Yes there are. The three additional costs are for your membership platform, email marketing software and branding.
These pretty affordable business expenses and are fully tax deductible expenses. Details of these will be provided on your enrollment call.
It is not ideal for you if you’re not going to allow yourself to be coachable. It is also not ideal for you if you’re doing for just money and you don’t see it as a purpose-led business. Finally, don’t join this programme if you’re not prepared to put in the work each week and trust the process.
This is a small group coaching programme over 12 weeks with hand-to-hand teaching and implementation every single week.
We'll have a cohort of up to 12 people and each one will be individually chosen after a rigorous 90-minute interview for suitability.
Each week, there is a live teach and implementations session for 2 – 3 hours at 7pm BST on Zoom.
This is then followed by 1 – 2 hours of home work, which will be reviewed during the week and on the next lesson.
In addition to weekly check-ins, we’ll also have a private community where we’ll chat weekly and have your questions answered.

Because subscribers are better than customers. A membership business is sustainable and creates you income each month. In addition, as a recurring income business, it is also more valuable.
Creating your own membership will help you not only create recurring monthly passive income but will help you purposefully help others through your specialised knowledge and create a ripple effect through your expertise.
No we do not. In addition, we’ve never been asked for a refund because we go above and beyond and deliver tangible results. See the testimonials above.
