This is Kerry Strugnell's Freedom Trader Journey

Here's a question worth sitting with: does investing slowly and carefully mean settling for less? Kerry Strugnell — a preschool director from Adelaide — would tell you absolutely not.

Kerry came to the Freedom Trader Blueprint with no share trading background whatsoever. Property, superannuation, salary sacrificing — that was her world. Shares were completely off her radar. But after attending one of Terry's presentations, something shifted. "Having not known anything, I came out of that thinking — I could actually do this."

What Kerry found in the Blueprint matched her values perfectly. As someone who teaches young children, she's naturally drawn to systems, structure and clear processes. Terry's planning sheets, his step-by-step approach, his straightforward criteria — all of it spoke directly to the way she thinks.

But it was Kerry's mindset shift around risk that stands out most. She describes herself as a natural risk taker — her husband isn't — but the Blueprint changed how she thinks about that entirely. "Go slowly. Be like the tortoise. Minimal risk — because I don't want to lose money. And at my age, I don't want to lose money."

That's not timidity. That's wisdom. And it's exactly the philosophy that underpins everything Terry teaches — protect what you have first, then grow it steadily. For Kerry, the result is simple: more financial security, more confidence, and a program she says fits perfectly with her values of giving and helping others.
