For hard-working people in Ireland who want to take control of their financial future but feel overwhelmed by investing complexity and fear making expensive mistakes...
What if you could finally hop off the 'just getting by' rollercoaster...and break the glass money ceiling within weeks?
You’ve done the right thing—you save regularly, but…
​
Your money is just sitting there, not working for you.
​
Inflation is eating away at your savings, making "just saving" a risky move.
​
Investing feels overwhelming—too complex, too risky, and you don’t know where to start.
​
You just want clear, simple investing guidance tailored for Ireland.
​
You want to take control, grow your money, and find financial freedom. But jargon, fear of mistakes, and not knowing where to start are holding you back.
​
It doesn’t have to be this way. It's time to change

The problems with investing as an Irish Investor are MASSIVE
As an Irish saver, you face REAL challenges when trying to invest:
-
The scary stories about people who lost everything create genuine fear about risking your hard-earned money.
-
US, UK & European advice does NOT work for Ireland, making it frustrating to find good relevant information for your personal finances OR investments.
-
The Irish tax system is complex and quirky, creating fear and uncertainty about staying on the right side of revenue.
It's no wonder so many of us stay stuck in our "saving only zone" while our money sits shrinking in the bank.
I have crushed 6 figures of debt and grown a 7-figure networth while raising a family in Ireland and I still don't get everything right
I’ve been exactly where you are.
Saving like I was supposed to, yet frustrated knowing my money was just sitting there, doing nothing. Wanting financial security but feeling stuck—because investing seemed too big, too risky, too complicated.
​
I thought I was the problem. That I wasn’t “money-savvy” enough. I needed to read more, learn more, and figure it all out before I could start.
But here’s what I learned: Every successful investor has felt the exact same fear. The difference? They pushed through it.
And once I did the same, everything changed.
​
I built a system that took me from six figures of debt to financial security—and now I teach others how to ditch the fear, take control, and make their money work for them.
​
You don’t need to stay stuck. You don’t need to figure it out alone. And you definitely don’t need to wait for “someday.” Your real journey starts now.

Working harder is never the answer. Working SMARTER is
5 telltale signs you're ready to Become a Confident Investor
You're diligently saving money each month, but know it could be working much harder for you.
You feel out of your depth during investment conversations, despite being capable and successful in other areas of life.
You want to take control of your money but feel stuck, worried about making costly mistakes.
You don't know where to start with investing and feel lost in the sea of conflicting information, especially as an Irish investor.
You know deep down that investing is key to building real financial security, but worry that without the right knowledge, you'll make expensive mistakes.
You're Not Alone—And You Don't Have to Figure It Out Alone.
If any of these sound familiar, KNOW THIS: it's not that you're bad with money.
It's not that investing is only for finance bros or the super-wealthy.
You just haven’t had the right guidance—YET.
​

Here are some of the most common blocks holding Irish people back
Do any of these ring a bell?
I'm afraid of "making expensive mistakes or losing everything (Sometimes this shows up as, “I heard a story of this person who lost everything in the last crash)
Investing seems "big, overwhelming & complex". I'm starting at zero, know nothing about investing"
I have wanted to learn about investing for quite some time but never knew where to learn for someone living in Ireland
I have wanted to learn about investing for quite some time but never knew where to learn for someone living in Ireland. I need a clear starting point.
I earn a good wage, but I feel broke all of the time.
I worry about the future and retirement... I feel I'm starting too late.
I need Irish guides relevant to the Irish tax system most investment sites are for Americans or the UK.
I want to avoid the high fees charged by insurance companies.
You didn’t just wake up one day with these worries about money. They’ve been building over time—from things you’ve heard, fears you’ve absorbed, and past experiences that made investing feel risky, confusing, or just not for you.
You’re not alone—and you’re not stuck. it's time to change the story.
The good news?
Your fears around money don’t have to hold you back....
You just need the right guidance to cut through the noise, take control, and start growing your wealth with confidence
Hi, I'm Kel Galavan!
My Story – From Debt to Financial Security
-
I was drowning in six figures of debt, stuck with a house I couldn’t live in, two small babies, and a single income.
-
I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed, afraid of making mistakes, and unsure where to start.
​
The Turning Point
-
After years of chasing paychecks and barely keeping up, I hit a breaking point.
-
I took a radical step—my now-famous No Spend Year™—and it changed everything.
​
What I Learned
-
I started investing 20 years ago, making every mistake in the book (yes, even cashing in two pensions—true story!).
-
But through trial and error, I learned what actually works—and that’s why I’m financially secure today.
-
I studied everything about wealth-building, especially the challenges Irish investors face.
-
The biggest lesson? Financial security isn’t about complicated strategies or risky schemes. It’s about:
-
Having the right knowledge
-
Building a strong money mindset
-
Making your money work as hard as you do
-
​
Now, I Help People Like You
-
I teach hard-working Irish people how to take control of their money, invest wisely, and build real financial breathing space.
-
Because everyone deserves a seat at the wealth-building table—you just need someone to show you how to start.
​
Money isn’t everything, but when used wisely, it becomes a powerful tool for freedom, security, and a better future. Let’s make it work for you.
​


What Happens When You Take Control of Your Money?
Imagine breaking free from the constant money stress—no more worrying if you’re saving enough, making the right moves, or falling behind.
​
Instead of feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or afraid of making mistakes, you start to feel calm, confident, and in control.
​
When you let go of outdated money habits and fears, everything shifts—your finances grow, your future feels secure, and for the first time, you truly believe you can build real wealth.
​
It’s not just about money. It’s about freedom, choices, and finally feeling safe and supported in your financial future.

How do I know if it is the right time to join Become a Confident Investor?Honestly? If you're asking the question, there's a good chance the time IS right. Because that means you're already thinking about your financial future and looking for ways to make your money work harder for you. Here are the signs that you're ready: ✅ You're saving, but it feels like your money is just sitting there. You know there must be a smarter way to build financial security, but you're unsure where to start. ✅ You feel investing is too complex. Maybe you've tried reading about investing, but it just seems too jargony and full of conflicting advice. You want clarity and simplicity. ✅ You're afraid of making a mistake. The thought of losing money or doing something wrong has kept you on the sidelines. But deep down, you know that learning to invest properly is the key to long-term financial security. ✅ You want to take control of your future. Maybe you're tired of leaving financial decisions to others—whether that's financial advisors, your employer's pension scheme, or even just chance. You want to *understand* your money, not just follow instructions. ✅ You know investing is important, but it feels out of reach. You might think you need a lot of money or expert-level knowledge to start investing. (Spoiler: You don't! You just need a step-by-step system to follow.) Why Now? The best time to start investing was 10 years ago. The second-best time? Right now. Because every month you wait is another month, and your money isn't working for you. Become a Confident Investor is designed for people like you—Irish taxpayers who want to learn how to invest properly without the confusion, jargon, or fear of losing money. If you're tired of feeling stuck and ready to take control of your financial future, I'd love to show you how.

You’re not doing this alone—I’ll be there to guide you, support you, and make sure you’re confident every step of the way.

I don't have the budget right nowI completely understand—I've been there! That's why, I've included the ultimate crash course in personal finance as the first step of the course. You'll find money you never knew you had and put that to work for you without you having to any harer yourself. It's time for your money to do the heavy lifting. Investing might feel like something to put off. But here's the thing: waiting can cost you more in the long run. Even small amounts—as little as €50 a month—can start building your money. The key isn't investing big right away; it's learning how to invest wisely so you're ready when the time comes. Become a confident investor, which includes a payment plan option, so you can start learning now without the financial strain. If you're ready to take control of your future, let's make it work for you.
-
How much money do I need to start investing?Not as much as you might think! You don’t need thousands to get started—even €50 a month can be enough to begin building your wealth. The key is learning how to invest wisely in a way that makes sense to you. So that whatever amount you start with, you’re making smart, informed decisions. Become a Confident Investor will show you exactly how to do that—without the jargon, confusion, or fear of making mistakes.
-
Is Become a Confident Investor for me?Because you're ready to take control of your money instead of letting it sit idle. Because you don't want to rely on expensive financial advisors or guesswork—you want to understand how to manage and invest your money for yourself. (Investing is just a skill you haven't learned yet; if you can open a bank account, you can invest, and I can teach you the rest. ) Because you're tired of feeling overwhelmed by jargon, conflicting advice, and the fear of making expensive mistakes. Become a Confident Investor gives you a step-by-step, hand-holding system explicitly designed for Irish investors. No fluff, no sales pitches—just the knowledge and confidence to invest wisely for the long term.
-
I've never invested before will I be able to understand it.Absolutely! Become a Confident Investor was designed specifically for beginners—people who have never invested before and feel overwhelmed by the jargon, risks, and where to even start. You don't need a finance degree or a big pile of money to begin. I break everything down step by step, in plain English, and in a way that makes sense for Irish investors. By the end of the course, you'll not only understand investing—you'll feel confident making decisions about your own money. Even if you are not a beginner, there is plenty to learn and level up your money game as I share everything I've learned form 20 years of investing.
-
Will I understand if I know nothing about investing?Absolutely! This course is built for beginners who find investing overwhelming and complex. We start with the basics and build your knowledge as you go. Everything is explain in plain English because inveting does not need to be complicated. If you can open a bank account you can learn to invest. Many of our most successful students began saying "I know absoluterly nothing and I'm not even sure what I'll be able to learn about investing" and now approach their finances with confidence and control. If I'm honest they often turn out to be some of the best investors I know.
-
Is there a money back guarentee?I'm so confident in your ability and this course that I'm happy to give a 14-day money-back guarantee.
-
I don't know where to begin – will you show me exactly where to start?Absolutely! Become a Confident Investor gives you a transparent, step-by-step system explicitly tailored for Irish investors. We begin with building your solid foundation nad go from there. You'll get practical action steps and a clear roadmap, eliminating the guesswork and uncertainty about what to do next. Plus, you'll have 8 weeks of live group coaching and our lovely Rise Money Community to support you on your journey.
Still on the fence? I get it.
But here’s the thing…
Every day you wait means your hard-earned money is shrinking. Inflation is eating your savings, while fear is keeping you trapped from solid financial security.
I won't promise overnight millions (run fast from anyone who does!)
​
What I can promise is this:
Follow the system and do the work, and you'll gain the knowledge and skills to make smart personal finance and investment decisions. You'll know exactly how to build long-term wealth in a way that works for you.
​
Fear disappears, and your confidence grows knowing that you are in control, moving toward a future that you deserve. ​
​
I've designed this specifically for Irish people who want a clear roadmap to building wealth through smart investing. A path that keeps them on track for the long term.
​
And you're protected by our 14-day guarantee. If you don't feel more confident after implementing what you learn, you'll get a full refund.
