From Uncertainty to Impact: Sergiu Hirtescu’s Success Journey

In this powerful interview, Sandro Forte sits down with Sergiu Hirtescu—a financial planner based in Canada and a graduate of the Success Masterclass. What makes Sergiu’s story so compelling isn’t just how far he’s come, but how intentionally he applied the tools and mindset from the Masterclass to transform his business, his confidence, and his life.

🚀 A Humble Start, A Powerful Drive

Sergiu’s journey began with humble roots. An immigrant from Romania, he arrived in Canada at the age of four, raised by hardworking parents who taught him the value of perseverance. He carried that mindset into adulthood, but like many advisors, initially lacked direction in his financial planning career.

That all changed when he attended the Success Masterclass.

🧠 The Power of a Mindset Shift

Sergiu quickly discovered that the Masterclass wasn’t just about business tactics—it was about transforming how you think. He experienced what he called “a mindset shift to a growth-oriented perspective,” which became the foundation for lasting change.

He said it best:

“Nothing will ever get implemented daily until your mindset has changed.”

That change empowered him to move from confusion to clarity, from hesitating to hosting high-impact client events for business owners, accountants, and lawyers.

📸 Lessons Learned—Beyond Business

Sergiu also credits the Masterclass for helping him uncover personal passions. Through coaching and the support of the Masterclass community, he realized that photography was his creative outlet—a tool to refocus and energize. A photo he took in his neighborhood now features on his YouTube banner, reminding him daily to keep learning, growing, and pushing forward.

🤝 A Community of Support

One of the biggest surprises for Sergiu? The strength of the Masterclass community.

“I found a bunch of people that thought like me… it felt like I found my tribe.”

He explained how the ongoing support from other driven advisors helped him stay focused and inspired. Instead of discouragement, he found accountability and encouragement—especially in the private WhatsApp group that continues well beyond the sessions.

🧰 Tools That Actually Work

From scripts to letters to marketing templates, Sergiu emphasized how the Masterclass provides resources you can use immediately.
Unlike many programs that just “talk about ideas,” the Success Masterclass gave him practical tools—and the confidence to use them.

💬 Final Advice to Those on the Fence

Sergiu’s advice to advisors considering the program?

“Don’t think this is all about money… You’ll learn a lot more than just financial planning. You’ll find what it takes to live a good, balanced life.”

Whether you're building a $100 million practice or striving for more balance, the Masterclass delivers lasting value. It’s not just a course—it’s a catalyst for real transformation.
