We were lucky to catch up with Liam Roy recently and have shared our conversation below.
Liam, so good to have you with us today. We’ve always been impressed with folks who have a very clear sense of purpose and so maybe we can jump right in and talk about how you found your purpose?
I focus on identifying needs in my community or industry, and I take proactive steps to address them. When I see a gap or a problem that requires a solution, I dedicate my efforts and resources to finding the most effective way to fulfill that need. It’s not just about solving a problem—it’s about making a meaningful impact and ensuring that the solution benefits as many people as possible
Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
My goal is to inspire and empower families who are struggling financially by showing them how to create opportunities right from their own homes. I believe that every family can set up a home office and use it as the foundation for building a family bank. By establishing this framework, they can hire their own family members as agents of the bank, creating a system that benefits everyone involved.
Beyond that, I encourage families to think like investors by putting their resources into tangible assets like gold, silver, and gemstones. These investments can provide long-term stability and growth, helping families not only secure their financial future but also build generational wealth. It’s about shifting the mindset from survival to empowerment, teaching families that they have the tools and potential to transform their circumstances into something remarkable.
The economy is facing significant challenges, and families are feeling the impact. My mission is to show struggling families that they can take control of their financial future by creating a home-based family bank. This approach allows them to hire family members as agents of the bank, fostering collaboration and financial empowerment within the household.
By investing the bank’s resources into stable, time-tested assets like gold, silver, and gemstones, families can build a foundation for lasting wealth. These tangible investments hold their value and often appreciate, even during economic uncertainty. It’s a practical strategy for families to protect their finances and, more importantly, to invest their way to riches.
This isn’t just about surviving in a crumbling economy—it’s about thriving and turning challenges into opportunities for generational prosperity.
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
Looking back, I would say that three qualities and areas of knowledge were most impactful in my journey: observation, adaptability, and an understanding of systems.
First, I learned to pay attention to taxes from a very young age. Understanding how taxes work, how they affect individuals and businesses, and how to navigate them has been a cornerstone of my success. I always tell people to start educating themselves on the basics of tax policy and seek out mentors or resources to deepen their knowledge.
Second, I made it a priority to observe and learn from what made others fail. Whether it was poor financial planning, lack of discipline, or ignoring the fine print in contracts, I watched closely and made a mental note of these patterns. My advice is to approach failures—whether your own or others’—as valuable lessons. Reflect on them and use that insight to guide your own decisions.
Finally, I’ve always been attuned to government policies and how they shape opportunities or create challenges. By staying informed, I was able to adapt and position myself to take advantage of programs, incentives, or market shifts. For anyone starting their journey, I’d recommend paying close attention to the policies that affect your industry, community, or financial goals. Stay curious, ask questions, and always look at how the bigger picture impacts your personal and professional path.
Ultimately, success comes from paying attention, learning continuously, and being willing to adapt to changing circumstances.
How can folks who want to work with you connect?
Yes, I am absolutely looking to collaborate with young, innovative entrepreneurs, particularly those who speak Japanese and are excited about working with Japanese business professionals. As most of my current business partners are Japanese, I am seeking individuals who are open to engaging in cross-cultural business ventures and can seamlessly navigate this dynamic environment.
I’m specifically interested in partnering with those passionate about the gold and silver trade, who are eager to explore opportunities in expanding this industry. This includes establishing new trading posts in Nigeria, Ghana, and Cameroon. Ideal collaborators should have a spirit of adventure, a global mindset, and a willingness to travel to Africa to help grow these ventures on the ground.
If you are interested and align with these qualities, I’d love to hear from you. Please connect with me to discuss potential partnerships and how we can work together to create something impactful and mutually rewarding.
