Biggest Business Learning Experience: Dr. Dreyer started two financial services businesses that ran a loss of more than $571,000 within the first eighteen months and he turned those businesses, single-handedly, into profitable businesses after all "experts" advised that it would be better to liquidate the business because there was no chance of reviving them. It was the realization, as a CFP, that more than 95% of the world population would not be financially secure at retirement age, and that he was on his way to staying part of that 95%, that was a major turning point in his life.

Follow Him:

From that day on he endeavored to find out why conventional investments and investment advice simply don’t work. In the process, he discovered and developed the true secrets, strategies and formulae for wealth creation, the ones that have genuine potential to set people free. Dr. Dreyer has dedicated his life to helping ordinary people learn and apply these strategies, so that they too can have real wealth. All his strategies are based on Universal Principles and Laws. In this way, it is possible for anyone to build wealth in all seven areas of life, with the emphasis on creating, preserving and enjoying financial wealth.

Debt Eradication Strategist: Developed with the mission to free himself and his family from the proverbial rat race, the Warriors Against Debt: Debt Eradication System™ has proved invaluable in all phases of the economic cycle, to allow people trapped in the rat race to take those first crucial steps to realizing their financial goals no matter how bleak their financial situations. Today more than 20 years after its initial conception, the Warriors Against Debt program is still the best system on the market to reduce financial stress and to help set people free to take back control of their finances.

Leading Wealth Creator: Witnessing the effect the Formula for Riches® has had on people from differing countries, genders and educational levels inspired him to complete his PhD on “Applying The Formula For Wealth Creation To Develop Entrepreneurs And Investors”. He took on a personal challenge to use the Formula for Riches® to liberate people from pervasive myths like “you must have money to make money”; “you must make use of financial institutions, because you can’t do it on your own” and “you have to be lucky, well-connected, well-educated, or exceptionally talented to become wealthy”.

To disprove these damaging myths, Dr Dreyer took less than 12 cents and turned it into an investment of over $1,400.000.00 in less than two and a half years. The entire process was documented for his students through his Mentoring Course. Dr. Hannes Dreyer is the founder and CEO of the Wealth Creators University™, a private outcome-based learning institute, based on the culmination of 27 years of knowledge, experience, research and study into finance, economics, psychology and philosophy.
