Teaching the 7 Stages to Financial Independence
Welcome to Power Team, a financial education ministry and mastermind dedicated to helping individuals and families take control of their finances, eliminate debt, build wealth, and create a lasting legacy.
I’m Coach Wade, a Financial Coach with more than 25 years of experience in banking and financial services. Throughout my career, I’ve discovered that most people don’t struggle financially because they lack ability—they struggle because no one ever taught them how money really works.
That’s why I created the 7 Stages to Financial Independence—a practical roadmap designed to help everyday people move from financial stress to financial confidence.
The 7 Stages to Financial Independence

Build your emergency fund and create financial breathing room.

Stage 6 – Mortgage Freedom Zone
Work toward owning your home free and clear.
Stage 7 – Legacy Zone
