Growth is a requisite of life. Whether it is on a person’s maturity, relationships, or even companies, growth must be witnessed so that there will be an assurance that what you are doing is right and you are progressing and maturing. Everybody and everything grows, the only difference is that other do it faster than anybody else, just like the Wall Street-based independent retail brokerage firm John Thomas Financial. This company was just founded in 2007, but in a span of five years in the business, its spectators as well as the whole world saw such dramatic and significant growth. Now it is one of the largest business organizations in New York.

John Thomas Financial was founded by a Greek-American businessman named Thomas Belesis. Also known to his acquaintances as Tommy Belesis, this financial guru started the company with just three employees including him and used to hold office in a small room. Fast forwarding to 2012, who would have thought that the three employees are multiplied by a hundred. Doing the math, JTF is now the primary bread and butter of three hundred employees who have found career opportunity and growth for them.

As they expand, they also offered more services and broadened the scope of their market. Presently, there are offering investment banking services, market analysis, research, short term trading, hedging strategies, portfolio management, liquidity, IPOs, income generation, PIPEs, private placement and mergers, acquisitions and others. Tommy Belesis also built an affiliate company that shall solely service private individuals. This company is known as the JTF Private Wealth Management. It handles all of their wealthy and affluent clients and helps in their decision-making when it comes to the investment and management of their wealth. Their clients in this special affiliate company range from actors, athletes, heirs and heiress and other famous and prosperous individuals who need assistance in the management of private.

In conclusion, this just goes to show that age does not necessarily define the success rate of someone or something. Take it from the record of this company who is only half a decade in doing business yet treated as one of the most celebrated in its field. If there is one great lesson everybody can derive from JTF’s experience, it is the reality that despite being immature when it comes to year count in service, they are willing to excel and grow the fastest way there is. After all, growth is the most inevitable change in this world, and in the long run, it’s just a matter of who does it first.
