Stock Options Trading Academy Founder: The Step-by-Step System to Financial Freedom

You can't say the right thing to the wrong person, and you can't say the wrong thing to the right person. And it came to me as, you're supposed to help a million people become millionaires. And so I went and had my strategies, I call them recipes. Dr. Kelly DeClu is the founder of the Stock Options Trading Academy, and a former educator who turned knowledge into wealth. With a PhD in advanced degrees, she teaches women how to trade, build multiple income streams, and create generational freedom using nothing more than skill, strategy, and Wi-Fi. Is it more people buying, and if more people are buying, that makes the stock price go up? If more people are selling, that makes the price go down. What I teach my clients is, turn it like this and look at it like this. Who is dominating? It spans the globe like a super high as coal, into the eldest, ready to fight for freedom. Today Apple is going to reinvent the fall. It's not over until I win. The Living Your Legacy podcast for those who live to leave a legacy. That's extraordinary. The impossible. Oh, that is sensational. Open. Chicago is the lead. You said coal is the fastest man on the planet. You can live your dream. Welcome back to another amazing episode of the Living Your Legacy podcast, the Women in Power edition. For Insight Success, I am Reggie Thiers. Joining me today is Kelly, Dr. Kelly DeClu. And she is the founder of, what are you the founder of, my love? The Stock Options Trading Academy. Kelly, you can look at me now. Okay. You're good. It's almost like operating a plane as they land. How do you feel you just wrapped up your episode for Women in Power? I feel really great. I feel really great. My cameraman did an amazing job. He guided me perfectly. He took great pictures. He asked awesome questions to prompt me of what to say. And we had a great conversation actually, so I'm appreciative of that. Awesome. We call him cinematographer here. Cinematographer. Yes. Never call a camera guy a camera guy. They don't like it. I despised them when they called me. It's the camera guy. No, I'm not. But he was awesome. Of course, Anton's awesome. Back from Italy too. So he's fresh, fresh off of Italy. That's cool. Have you ever been to Italy? I came back from Italy in October of last year. Oh, right. This time there. Yeah. Very, very cool. Did a whole lot of cool stuff. Even took a cooking class while I was over there. Okay. It was cool. What did you cook? What did we cook? It was, don't get me lying, it was something with mushrooms and of course pasta, of course. But yeah, it was pretty cool. Oh, right. So what are we going to learn in your episode? What did you get to learn about yourself actually? Wow. I actually got a chance to snap together a couple of puzzle pieces from my past into where I am now. And I was like, I never thought about it like that. You know, for example, one of the questions was about an incident where I stopped bullies from messing with this kid in high school. And I never thought about it, but that was like a cornerstone example of who I am now because I'm always working to help the underdogs. You know, the folks that have been disenfranchised, the people who've been left out of the conversation of wealth, I'm trying to help them. And I was like, oh my God, I didn't know that. Yeah. So that was kind of cool. It's awesome that you're making that connection because we find a lot of folks that come walking through and site success. They make that correlation right away. They're like, wow, I didn't know I was that amazing. Like, yes, you are. You deserve to sit in that chair. Let's talk about the education side of things. You obviously mentioned a couple of keywords there. Let's talk about educating folks about what you do about. I want to go down the spiritual wealth side, but we're talking about wealth wealth stuff that you can see in the numbers. There's been hundreds and thousands of movies written about this, how there is almost an organism within the stock market. It's a living organic thing. Yeah. Yeah. Let's talk nerdy about the stock market. Yeah. How does the stock market breathe? So basically we have our buyers and sellers, our bulls and our bears. Yeah. And whoever is dominating at any given point, whether you're talking about a timeframe of one minute or a timeframe of one day or a timeframe of a week or a month, who is dominating? Is it more people buying? And if more people are buying, that makes the stock price go up. Yes. If more people are selling, it makes the price go down. So what we need to do as investors is figure out where is the volume? Yeah. Who's running the ship at right now? And once we figure that out, we can take advantage of those swings. So what do you think about the folks that are taking unorthodox swings, like the guys that's on Reddit that are just making folks like GameStop, like just like a hot item overnight because they're essentially, they're tribal and they're creating a noise. Talk about how do you monetize that noise and educate that noise? I love the education behind it if people will take the time to do it. Because what happened in that specific situation was people understanding that a very small minority of rich men have been dominating and almost running companies into the ground for fun for their fun and their benefit. And when that guy roaring kitty, when he found the glitch in the matrix, and that's funny because that's actually something that I've been gifted with from the universe is I recognize litters in the matrix. I didn't recognize that one. Okay. But he recognized it and he was like, Hey, let's us regular folks, let's us, you know, give it to the man, you know, by doing this and we become the buyers. We become the bulls on what they have been selling. They've been selling it and pushing the price down. And so it was quite educational. And I'm so glad they did a movie about two or three movies about what happened because it was never had happened before. No one's had ever had ever figured out what the big dogs were doing and let alone figured it out and then decided, let's take advantage of this. So I thought it was awesome in terms of education. Very much so. Yeah. What really kind of influences the stock market is like the time of day, the temperature who's president, what the president is doing. Really talk about how it represents like, you know, the pulse of the world. Well, when you're trading, there's two different types of traders. You got your technical traders and your fundamental traders. Your fundamental traders are taking advantage of current factors that are happening right now. All right. And you've probably heard something where they say, buy the rumor, sell the news. Yeah. Okay. And so with that, people can make a lot of money by understanding where the wave is pushing. Is it pushing up again or is it pushing down? All right. And so that's the underpinning of what's happening most of the time that's pushing the news now. Is there so many tweets, there's so many outside factors that don't necessarily have anything to do with the stock market specifically, but affected dramatically. Like this past Friday, Jerome Powell, he had his speech and the market took off, you know, like one of my clients made like $10,000. And I was like, Oh my God, awesome job. You know, that's what I teach, but yes, awesome. You know, I always love seeing my clients winning. But yeah, she did that because of something that hadn't had nothing to do with the stock she was invested in per se, but it, it rolled the wave of Jerome Powell speaking and he took the whole market up in this case. That's awesome. How it's almost like prepping for a hurricane or a storm. How far ahead do you prep your tribe to understand this and go arm yourselves or get ready because we're expecting a blip here. Oh, um, specifically in September, we know historically that's the worst month of the stock market historically. So I tell them in August, Hey, get ready, get ready for September because this is what we know historically is going to happen. And then of course I tell them in late October, early November, get ready for the Santa Claus rally because that's where the market's going to start shooting back up again. So I try to teach them the waves of the market and understanding there's going to be things that are going to happen historically. There's also things that are going to happen in terms of different sectors in the stock market and how to take advantage of the moves as the cyclical nature of the market happens in January and February and April and then August and things like that. I always found it fascinating because I come from the gaming industry and I've always loved you know, the big three Sony Xbox, Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo and just like Activision, the developers and it's just the fluctuation of the market and how things, because in gaming every, every other day is different. There's a new trailer, there's new pieces of asses, a new controversy. So it's always, it's always, it's, you can kind of see it by day. So to me, my vertical is, is, is gaming. What would you recommend for folks that want to jump in? Do they start following stocks in books, water, Gatorade? What, what's something that's easy and tangible for folks to jump in and feel good about it? I think the easiest thing actually are, they came up with something new. In the past, there are dividend stocks. You've probably heard of aristocrats and kings. Those are stocks that have been paying dividends for the last 50 years or last 25 years. And recently they came up with these ETFs dividends. All right. They came out, I think the earliest one came out like in April of 2022, maybe 2023. And just owning them, you can get paid every month. That's a new thing because the aristocrats and kings, you get paid every three months. So that has, that new mechanism for making money in the market is what I would push people toward because it's an easy win. It's an easy one. And it gives them a chance to come up. One of the things I do in my TikTok community is we have just got paid Fridays, where everybody just comes and celebrates the fact that we all just got paid. Very much like that subreddit. Yeah. And so we, we are using the stocks that I've told them. I said, this is going to pay you every single Friday. Get it. It's an easy money. So I think that would be, that is the current easy low hanging fruit to step into the stock market because it's allowing people who had never again, the underdogs who never thought they could be in the stock market, who never saw them represented in any stock market movie. Yeah. They give them a chance to get in and start getting paid. So that's what I would suggest for people. That's amazing. How much of it is Fufu and a lot of screens and numbers? How much is it the stuff that we see on television versus the reality of the hard work, keeping your nose down and looking at patterns? That's a great question. When I go back now and I look at the old Wall Street movies, this is what I do. I look at it and I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, and I'm sitting there like, okay, man, okay, well that's real. Okay. No, not bad, you know, but a lot of it is staying plugged in and understanding, okay, how to read this stock chart, how to read the fundamentals. If you're not, if you're not a technical analyst, you're a fundamental analyst. Okay, cool. If you read the direction of the stock based on the fundamentals, is this company making money? Yeah. Are they making money over time? What's their, what's their float? What's their free cash flow? You know, understanding how to analyze from both perspectives, looking at a stock chart as well as looking at the fundamentals of a company, how to get in and how to make money. Right on. Yeah. And what I teach my clients how to do is how to make money both ways in the stock market, right? Because you can make money when the stock goes up. You can make money when it goes down, but you have to learn how to trade options. For sure. Which is why I have the stock options trading academy. Awesome. Yes. So that's where I was going to say, when do you stop and say, well, I'm going to, I want to teach folks how to do this, but when does the other F word stop being used free? Like this is some powerful stuff. Absolutely. And I'm sure you've, you've done your homework, your research, you've earned your stripes and you figured out, well, from the day I was born to 2020, I'm going to monetize me from 2020 to 2025. I am the, I am today who I am today. You can't pay for that person. So how do you monetize this knowledge, but also be free spirited and giving? That is such a great question because my first business coach, he had to, because I'm a teacher by profession and trade, you know, so I'm all about giving away stuff for free. And my business coach, he, he, he called me one day. He's like, you're not a teacher. You're a business woman. And I was like, but I like to teach him stuff away. He's like, look, look. So, so yeah, the thing I do now is I provide value for free on TikTok. Right. Anybody can go through all of my TikTok videos and get amazing and people have gotten amazing value and they make money off the free stuff that I drop, you know, and my Facebook group, Stock Ops Trading Academy, my Facebook group, it's a free Facebook group. It has resources. Yeah. Yeah. It has all this free stuff, you know, so you can go in there and learn a lot of stuff. For example, I tell people, if you go into my Facebook group and you type in the word lesson, you can sit there with a notepad and pencil and learn and learn and learn and learn and learn free stuff I give away. And then I tell them, Hey, if you want me to help you learn better, more, how to be more strategic in making this money. And if I resonate, if you, I resonate, you might sound resonates with you. Yeah. Here, I can help you out, you know, because one thing I learned a long time ago, you can't say the right thing to the wrong person and you can't say the wrong thing to the right person. So whoever's going to resonate with my spirit and my energy and my heart and my spirit, then I'm here for them. I'm here for them. How long did it take you to like figure that out that you're Rika moment? It's like, wait a minute, as long as I'm true to my spirit and true to who I am, my tribe will follow me. Oh, it took a long time. It took a long time because I had heard that thing about you can't say the right thing. I'd heard that, you know, 10, 12 years ago, right? But it didn't, I didn't know what it meant. I would probably say that I would probably say right around the beginning of this year is when it really just settled into my spirit. But also what changed was in December, I had a download from the universe and I really got to, because I love teaching and I know I'm supposed to be a teacher, but it came to me what my mission and goal was, you know, and it came to me as you are supposed to help a million people become millionaires. And I actually had created a one of the strategies I teach that's trademarked because I try, I'm serious about my, what I do and what I share with people. And so I went and had my strategies, I call them recipes because it's so easy to learn how to invest in the stock market. If you simply, if you give somebody a grocery list, step one, do this, step two, do this, and that's how I teach. Okay. So I learned that methodology from when I started teaching in South Central LA because I was teaching kids math and science who could care less about math and science. So I had to come up with strategies to make it fun and interesting for them to want to come to class. So when I got to the stock market, I was like, okay, okay, how do I collapse time and help them make money faster? Right? Oh, let me go back to the strategies. Oh, step one, just make it a grocery list, right? And so my clients started making money and it started being successful and all that. So I'm trying to come back full circle to what you asked, but I knew that teaching was my thing, but then I had to step into and be guided to what is my purpose, what is my mission, you know? And that was given to me in December, this past December, right? Okay. Now I know what I'm supposed to be doing. And when I got that clarity, oh my God, it felt so great because now I'm like, okay, whoever resonates with my sound, you're going to come my way. And if the people, if you do, if I don't, cool. And understanding the universe is full of abundance. Oh yeah. And just because somebody don't come to me, they can go somewhere else. I mean, how many churches are on the same block? Yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? I can teach you how to spend your money. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. Let's re circle here. I've kind of lost my train of thought because I was kind of lost in the sauce here. I was like, okay. Cause I kind of wish Rudy was sitting here because he's all about, you know, he can talk to lingo, but I'm giving you the perspective of someone that goes, I see a lot of these apps that are telling me to get rich in the stock. Talk to me as is like, no Ray, don't use any of those apps. Why should I go to you as like the stock option goddess? So a lot of times the apps are fine. Sure. Okay. It's the person who is pushing or pulling. Right. And they're influencing. Okay. Um, for example, everybody wants to, um, think that as an example, Robin Hood as an app, or it's not a good app, you know, and what I found, cause I trade seven different apps. Nice. And I do have that large computer with the big screen, you know, I found that they all have pros and cons. Okay. Okay. So I have clients just like when I was teaching and I was teaching kindergarten, you don't give a kindergarten a pen to write with, right? Because their fine motor skills are not developed. So you have to give them a crayon and they hold it like this and then they draw like that. Right. So just like that, I would give you as a beginner in the stock market at the kindergarten level, I would give you Robin Hood because it's the easiest platform to learn on as opposed I would not give you think or swim as a beginner. That sounds dangerous. Think or swim. I wouldn't give you that. You're actually made an app called think or swim. There it is. That's amazing. And I would be setting you up for failure as a beginner. If I handed a kindergartner a calligraphy pen, just like if I handed somebody as a beginner, think or swim. Because what, what, what is my goal? My goal is to help people start making money quickly. Okay. Now we can build up to the think or swim. Sure. Sure. But I need to have you go in there and punch two or three buttons and then you're done and you're like, oh my God, this worked. Cool. So my big $20,000 question here is when you say it worked equal signs, money, what does it mean when it worked? I made $5 in an hour or what does that mean? What is the amount, the amount of quote unquote of what it works. Okay. I always tell my clients if I had a, may I, may I, if I may grab, oh, there you go. Right off the shelf. All right. Cool. Now I'm a chess player. So, but, but here's what I want to show you. Yes. We're taught to look at it like this. What I teach my clients is turn it like this and look at it like this. Okay. Okay. So now to answer your question, it's not a dollar figure. It's a percent. Got it. Because they tell you we're supposed to get a high yield savings account. Okay. So we're taught to go put our money in a savings, a regular savings account. Yeah. Okay. Cool. You put $100 into a savings account and after a whole year of that $100 sitting there, $105. They're going to give you at most, they're going to give you $105 and a quarter. Here I go. Here I come. You get your $100 back plus $5 and a quarter. That's 5.25%. Right. So what I teach my clients immediately off the gate, it's not about the money, it's about the percent. So if you're the best you can get out there in a high yield savings account is 5.25. Let me teach you how to make that in a day. Right on. Let me teach you how to make 30% in a month. Let me teach you how to make 15% in a week. See now your brain starts thinking, okay, cool, because guess what? You might be able to start off with $50. He might be able to start off with $500. The other guy in the other room might be able to start off with $5,000. Sure. Right? Yeah. So if I say, oh, if you can make $1,000, you're going to be sitting here like, well, I can't do that because I got 50. He's going to be like, oh, I can do that because I got 5,000. So that's why I don't teach that. Turn the bottle. So if I tell you, let's make 15%, anybody can make 15% off of $5,500 or 5,000. Right on. Yeah, that makes more sense. So that's what I start off people thinking. ROI, return on investment. Changes the way they understand things. That's a lot of it as a mindset. Yeah. Yeah, that was the keyword mindset. I also liked that compression of time. Oh, yeah. Those big fancy words that I'm sure are behind a paywall. Speaking of which, let's talk about some of this download energy. You've got some books here that you wanted to talk about this one download. What book is this? So the book that I just finished reading, this is my 30th book. Nice. Dr. Kelly's book of winning trades. And it says down here from my stock options trading Academy clients who followed my strategies. That way I want people to be clear. This is all about clients, their receipts. When they invested, what date, time, how much they put in, and the day that they got out, how much the date, time, and how much they made. So that's what this is a whole book of where I just grabbed different clients and said, this client made this, this client made that, this client invested for two hours and made this, this client invested for three days and made this, this client invested for a month and made this. So I just grabbed different receipts from clients. Got it. Okay. So that's this one. And then this one is actually one of my recipes. Right on. So I, most of my recipes are in my class, my Wolf of Wall Street class, but I decided to put one of them in a book and that way people can get it and they can follow the recipe step by step instructions and they can start making money. Cool. Right? Because we all need a blueprint. You need a, a, you need a path to follow. Right? Just getting into the stock market, that's not going to do it. Cause the market will take your money. I tell people all the time, the market will jump you on your way to school. Exactly. You have to have a strategy. You have to be strategic about it. So this is an actual my house house channeling strategy. So that's, those are my two books that I have. And this is my book that I'm working on right now. Nice. Yeah. Yeah. And I just made the cover and I'm still working on the last few chapters of this one. And it's called Dr. Kelly's psychology of money psychology. When it's powerful because what I realized is I can sit down and in two hours I can teach you how to make money and I can give you a strategy, the grocery list, step one, do this. Follow instructions. You're going to be able to make money. That's awesome. The problem is after the first two or three times, you're going to follow the strategy perfectly and you're going to be like, Oh my God, this is easy. I could do this. Right. And so the first three or two or three or four times you were like, okay, cool. And then what's going to happen is all of those old viruses of what you think about money are going to creep up. Those are sitting right back here in your brainstem. Okay. They call it the lizard brain. Really? All right. And these are the things that you were taught when you were four and eight and 12 about money. Yeah. Right. Because we all had these things that our parents taught us accidentally on about money. So when those things start coming up and it's going to have a cognitive dissonance because Dr. Kelly is like, well, all I got to do is follow the strategy. And mom said that money don't go on trees. But when I followed her strategy in three days, I made money. But mom said this, so it's going to come to a head. And unless you sit here and do what I call psychological surgery and take out those viruses, unless you do that, this is going to win. And you're going to start self sabotaging and you're going to be like, I'm not going to follow the strategy. I'm not going to be consistent. And then you're going to start losing money. And then you're going to be like, Oh, this wasn't for me. You can relate that what you just said in every spiritual frequency. Like it's in the Bible. It's like the devil just whispering you to design for failure, design for failure. You're living in God's light. You're supposed to ascend. So is this stuff that folks can find on your website by just giving them your email address and they'll get this as a free PDF or something? You know what? I am doing a free. This one is on Amazon. Both of these are on Amazon. Oh, right on. So I got to do a search Dr. Kelly and strategy. Nice. Okay. And you'll find these on Amazon. The one that I'm working on now, I have a pre-order sale going on for just $5. Right on. Okay. So that way you can get it. And then when it comes out, you know, you don't have to pay full price because you already got the pre-sale order of it. So that's already ready. If you want to look on my tick tock shop, my tick tock page, I have a tick tock shop and that's all my courses as all of my, and again, be careful of the scammers because you'll see somebody that has that dr. K e l l l I, oh yeah. Oh, for sure. Pretending to be me for sure. And they've actually taken the time to put all my stuff for sure on their side. So you have to make sure it's D R K E L L I. Okay. But if you go there on tick tock, you'll see my link tree link. All of my stuff is there. My trading retreats in Puerto Rico. We just finished one. It was so fun. Trading retreats in Puerto Rico. Yes. We have, it's the middle, middle week of July. And we go and we make money during the day and we go have fun at night. We went to Crash Boat Beach. We went to a natural water slide. We had so much fun on this natural water slide. Oh my God. So we do stuff like that. A couple of years ago, I rented boats. Sure, sure. A couple of years we went jet skiing. We went zip lining. We just do all kinds of stuff. So that's, that's, to all that stuff is on my, on my, on my website. My tick tock shop. Oh gosh. One other thing that I have decided to do is right now I have the only community on tick tock that makes money together. Remember, I told you, my just got paid parties on Friday. So we make money together in front of everybody. So everybody comes and they just say, Hey, I've got paid 10 times a day. I got paid eight times a day. I got paid 20 times. Everybody's just sharing what they, and we're just clapping for each other. Cause as adults, nobody claps for us anymore. Right. So, so that's, so that's one thing we do. What I decided to do is I'm going to start taking people around the world. Cause I told you I've been to 60 different countries. My goal is to make it all 195. Wow. I said, why don't I take my tick tock community with me? You got to take your, your posse. So the first trip is going to be to Cartagena, Colombia and March. Straight to Colombia. Yeah. Straight to the danger zone. So we're going to go to Colombia and we're just going to have a week there where we're just going to make money in the stock market and we're going to have fun at night. You really should have someone videographer. I'm sure you've got one. I mean, I had some people who had some people who had some people who had some people who had some people who had some people who had some people who had some people who had some people who had some people who had some people who had some people who had some people who had some people who had some people who had some people who had some people who had some people who had some people who had some people who had some people who had some people who had some people who had some people who had some people who had some people who had You wanna wrap up with? You know what, I wanna make sure I tell people that two things, one, most people are scared. Oh yeah. They're scared because they have, again, back to what we started in the beginning, people have been marginalized, they think it's not for them. They think, okay, it's not for me, I don't know anybody who does it. All the TV movies don't have me in it. And you have to have a lot of money, and or you have to have a lot of education. And I'm here to tell you that's not the case, okay? My youngest client was seven years old. What? That's awesome. We should have opened with that. My youngest client was seven years old. That's crazy. All right, so I can teach anybody from seven to, right, right, right. That's a lot of fucking roblox. So I wanna make sure people understand that that's a thing thing, that this is something that you can do. And don't let those old, remember those old programs, old viruses, get rid of those viruses, because I'm telling you, you can change your life, get back your time freedom by having the market make money for you. I can show you how to punch a couple buttons on your phone and make money. That's amazing. Yeah, so I also wanna share that with people. And the other one is this. There is an assignment on your life. Oh yeah, oh yeah, absolutely. And you are supposed to show up at some spot, I call it location specific blessings. And if you show up at that spot right there, there's gonna be a rain down of blessings. But baby, if you ain't there, you gonna miss out on the blessings. Yeah, you gotta recognize the signs. And sometimes you are the blessing for somebody else. Show up. Oh yeah. Show up. 100%, believe that 100% information. I will end with this. Have you seen the movie Pie? No. I highly recommend you watch it by Darren Arvnosky. He's the director of Black Swan and all these other great movies. He's a fountain mother. His very, very, very, very first film. It's black and white shot in 16 mil in New York. He's a Hasidic Jew. So it's about the stock market. I don't wanna ruin the plot, but it's essentially how the hidden name of 43 letter character letter name for God is hidden in the stock market. It's an amazing film. It's really out there. It's one of Darren's Arvnosky's earlier work. Thought of you right away. I'm like, I wonder if she's watched Pie. Watch Pie next time you're on the plane. Okay, okay. And that's kind of like a flex movie where it's like, have you seen Pie? No, that you're not at lead us, or you don't think this way. So trust me. It's gonna play in a completely different realm of reality. Okay, okay. With that being said, thank you again for your lovely energy.
