| My name is Robert Cataldo and I live in sunny Southern
California just north of San Diego with my wife Mary and our son
Phillip still in high school. Our daughter Rebecca graduated from
UCLA and currently lives in Hollywood studying for her Masters Degree
in Accounting. Oh yes, we have a Himalayan cat called Princess,
aptly named because of her "cat-titude."
About Us
Mary and I met during high school at Ankara, Turkey in 1971 and
have enjoyed traveling the world together ever since. Wherever we
traveled we saw the same thing: if the wealth is in the hands of
a few, the people are ruled by oppression and their only hope is
surviving until tomorrow. Our Passion
and Cause is to teach as many people as we can the concepts
of financial success so that the bright light of freedom in America
continues to be fueled by the people, for the people and of the
people for generations to come. The strength of America is not in
our military but in the millions of people who have tasted freedom
and discovered the blessings of opportunity. This belief led us
to develop the FasTRaX Business System.
Robert Cataldo, Engineer and Corporate Manager
After I graduated college I joined the Marine Corps and became
a Marine Officer. Those four years provided me with invaluable training
and an MBA but personal drive led me to the world of business. I
became an assembly line supervisor and soon discovered corporate
politics returning to school for a BS in Engineering. Combining
my leadership skills, supervision background and engineering degree
I became a successful Engineering Manager for a large corporation
where I solved problems during the day and taught engineering students
at night. When the recession of the 1980’s spilled into the
1990’s I discovered that it was not
“if” you get laid off, but when. The next few
years were spent working at many different companies supporting
engineering and suppliers to compete at the World Class level. My
last position was helping the turn-around of a major computer manufacturer
as their Inventory Control Manager. I bring to this business an
expertise in World Class competition in the Global Economy, an understanding
of corporate business top to bottom, problem solving skills and
the vision to understand that this knowledge can be applied to small
business helping generate personal financial success. That vision
helped us solve our initial problem in small business: “What
do we do now?” by creating the FasTRaX Business System.
Mary Cataldo, Attorney
Mary graduated college with a teaching degree. Upon our arrival
in Southern California she discovered that there were only 3 job
openings, and 5,000 applicants. It was here we learned one of our
most important life lessons: that
if things are not what you want, only you can take the initiative
to change them. Mary set out for secretarial school, and went to
work in a law office. In a few short years, with periodic time outs
for the birth of our children, she attended paralegal school and
worked to the top becoming the office administrator. She went on
to law school, obtaining her Juris Doctorate in 1994. She practices
as a commercial litigator for a major firm in San Diego and teaches
Law in the evening to aspiring paralegal and attorney students.
Mary brings her legal expertise, her talent for the written word,
and her enthusiasm to the FasTRaX System. Although she won’t
take credit, much of what you see in FasTRaX has her imprint.
Insights to Success (our
financial success)
Early in our careers Mary and I discovered 3
key insights that opened our eyes to financial success: 1.
We could not make ends meet with our jobs alone. 2. A small business
was key to building success, and 3. We could not build wealth without
investing. As a result we have been building small home based businesses
and investing in real property and passive income assets for the
last 20 years. We have used the small, home-based business concept
because of the increased financial opportunities it has provided.
We have seen our personal net worth change from a negative (huge
credit card debt) to a positive and laid the foundation for what
I call “economy proof” wealth.
Our Strategy for financial
success
Our business strategy did not make us rich quick. Rather, we decided
what we really wanted in our lives and began taking steps toward
that goal. We formed our small businesses with the end goal of investing
our profits into positive income properties. Those properties have
provided both cash flow and equity. The journey we chose has not
always been easy, but it has always proven to be worth
it.
