Digital Course Academy Success Story
Anna Orenstein-Cardona Certified Financial Educator & Money Coach
“When I started DCA, I only had an email list of 30 people. But with Amy’s help, I was able to grow my email list to 500 by launch time and make almost $30,000 on my first launch!”

After more than two decades working on trading floors of large financial institutions in both New York and London, I thought that there had to be more to life. The life sacrifices as a senior female managing director were exhausting, AND my heart knew that I wanted to leave a legacy in this world.
It became my passion to find a career that could combine my love of teaching with my deep financial knowledge. And I did!
I went for my certification as a Financial Educator so I could begin working as a money coach with US and UK clients. (Since I am a dual citizen myself, my knowledge comes in handy for both sides of the pond.)
And I did all this while keeping my day job. (Life was pretty hectic!)
Then in 2020, I lost my beloved mother and everything changed.
This event in my life made me realize the preciousness of time AND that the time was NOW to go all-in on creating my legacy and to positively impact the lives of people through financial literacy.
I was fired up to help CLOSE the wealth gap!
So I was scrolling through Facebook one day and saw one of Amy’s ads. I thought, “I like her personality… Let me sign up and see what this is all about!”
And that’s how I found myself as a brand-new student in DCA.
Even though I graduated from MIT (one of the world’s most technical schools), I am not tech-savvy AT ALL! The digital world was all new to me, and creating a course felt very intimidating…
But Amy was able to break down everything I needed to do into easy-to-follow steps. I always knew exactly what to do, and in what order.
Amy is obviously extremely knowledgeable and professional, but it’s her warm and engaging personality that makes this course so special. It’s an inspiration seeing a woman build an empire like she has!
Becoming a Course Creator can be a very lonely journey. It’s a lot of time at home, by yourself, watching videos… brainstorming and making plans… implementing your ideas…
But luckily Digital Course Academy is all about community — and now I have made friends for life with people who totally get me!
I have people in the DCA group helping me with my sales page and my video editing. And we take each other’s courses too! Having a place where you can ask questions and get support is priceless!
Because “life happened,” it took me longer than I wanted to get through the course.
But one of the great things about DCA is that you can jump in at any time to pick up where you left off!
I was FINALLY ready to launch my course “Rule Your Finances™ Academy” in January 2022. The course helps women understand the basics of money mindset and take control of their finances, starting with estate planning, life insurance, and investments.
Women have to deal with the gender pay gap, the wealth and savings gap, AND we were hardest hit with job losses in the pandemic. Yet, it makes me so happy to know that I get to be a part of educating women on these topics so their money creates more freedom in their lives… not stress.
When I started DCA, I only had an email list of 30 people. But with Amy’s help I was able to grow my email list to 500 by launch time and make almost $30,000 on my first launch!
DCA has given me the ability to have more control of my income while being in control of my time. I will be visiting my family in Puerto Rico for a month very soon, and I’ll be working and growing my business from there, BECAUSE I CAN. I’ve wanted a life like that for a long time, and it’s finally mine!
So if you are one of those people on the fence about DCA, get over that fence and make it happen as fast as you can. It changed my life, and it will change yours too!
