Meet Jeffrey Weber

We were lucky to catch up with Jeffrey Weber recently and have shared our conversation below.

JEFFREY, looking forward to learning from your journey. You’ve got an amazing story and before we dive into that, let’s start with an important building block. Where do you get your work ethic from?

I get my work ethic from my parents. My mom was a company vice-president during WW II while my dad was fighting the war in the Pacific Theater. When my dad came home from the war, he had a very strong work ethic. He would commute from our home in New Jersey to Manhattan, work all day in a skyscraper, then attend classes at New York University. He would get home late every workday with homework to do. He went to NYU evening classes for 7 years to get his degree. That inspired me to go to college and earn 3 degrees plus go to law school for 1 1/2 years.

My mom became the 1950s Leave It to Beaver mom – stay at home, drive us to school, cook wonderful meals etc. She raised us correctly and me and my sister had a great childhood. When my sister started high school, my mom went back to work starting over as a secretary at Marlow Products, a local company that made pumps and industrial equipment something my mom knew nothing about. Within 3 years Al Marlow, owner and president of the company retired, and my mom was the new president. My mom really inspired me with her work ethic and determination to master new areas applying the skills she learned during WW II.

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?

I found an amazing way to invest called AIM investing. It’s a simple, amazing way to invest that is easy to learn, takes very little time, and makes a lifetime of high profits. Robert Lichello invented AIM and I found ways to make it work better using my work ethic. I sent a lot of time doing spreadsheets and testing my new ideas for AIM investing that has continued for over 30 years! His way of investing was so amazing, so profitable, and took very little time. AIM is such a great way to help big and small investors that I wanted to share it with the world!

I applied my work ethic to AIM very intensely, always looking for new ways to AIM even better. My first major improvement was discovering AIM works best with volatile investments like long-term options (LEAPS) and I invented new and better ways for investors to make even higher profits with my Lean AIM strategy for investors,

I have Asperger’s syndrome which makes it hard to sit in an office environment as I lack many social skills. I made the perfect solution for life in retirement by creating my own business. Sitting in my sunroom with no shoes or shirt (it’s like a greenhouse!) I have investors over $11,000,000 in profits!

I work my investing business 7 days a week and give my clients not only a great way to invest but great customer service – – no voicemail, I answer the phone.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

I found I have an amazing ability to learn a new area quickly and then finding ways to improve it. I polished my skills by working all the world (Germany, Belgium, South Korea and Japan, Michigan and finally Texas.

I was inspired by one poster I found in a General’s office and have based my life on poster for the last 35 years. It was a poster showing a silhouette of an infantry Soldier holding his rifle in a war zone – the Caption said: “What did you do for him today? ” I have based my life on what I do to make life better for soldiers and now how do I make life better for my investors!

My advice is to work hard, allow yourself to get discouraged but never give up – as Woody Allen famously said, “Half of success is just showing up. ” Don’t be the miner who stops digging one foot any from the mother lode! Learn necessary skills you need to be successful – surround yourself with positive people who will help you succeed.

Thanks so much for sharing all these insights with us today. Before we go, is there a book that’s played in important role in your development?

The book that changed my life was Robert Lichello’s How to Make a $1,000,000 in the Stock Market Automatically. I found a paperback copy in a used bookstore in the 1970’s. I read it several times to understand his method of investing. Then I tested it BC (before computers). I ‘borrowed’ several sheets of the 16-column green spreadsheet we used for the audits we did for the Army.

I had saved a monthly copy of my Barron’s newspaper and spent several weeks looking up the monthly prices of 60 stocks for 3 years. After I did that, I started developing an outline of chapters for my first AIM investing book. I did that in a god-awful primitive hotel 15 miles south of the DMZ with North Korea.

I spent the next 20 years improving my book and adding new chapters.

Finally, I wrote 3 more AIM investing explaining very simply because I want to write for the reader not the writer!
