I want to share this article that I wrote for StartUp Mindset earlier this year. The article is written primarily for aspiring entrepreneurs but when I reread it, I realized that these tips could apply to just about anyone. Hope you enjoy!

Building wealth, a business, or a healthy relationship all require an investment of some kind. So how can you invest in yourself so that you can improve your overall lifestyle? In...
Read MoreI recently visited my old job to see if some of my ex-coworkers were still working in the office. To my surprise, I saw that several of them were still working for the company. Many of them were happy and content with their job. However, many others spent time asking me about my business and how they can start their own. In fact, this has been happening more frequently with individuals that I meet that have a full-time job. This is probably due to the fact that entrepreneurship has increased so much over the years. More people are starting businesses from...

Read MoreIt seems like most of the people who inhabit the earth today are happy with just getting by, getting through, and getting just enough. But you are not one of those people. You may not be happy with accomplishing less than you are capable of. Perhaps you want more and want to exceed your potential. If "good enough" is your goal, this post is not for you. There have been times in my life when I have achieved my goals and there have been many other times when I've overachieved my goals. The feeling of overachieving (and the steps to doing...
Read MoreThe desire to improve oneself is something I think we all have. But for some reason, many people struggle to become the person they've always wanted to be. Change can take time and that may be the reason so many people cannot seem to reach the goals they set or accomplish the things they desire. Although I do agree that change does take time, I also believe that there are things that can be done to move you in the right direction at a faster pace. Those things are often never easy which is why most people do not do them....
Read MoreI did recently. If you've been following this blog for a while, you know that I've been working in the financial industry while running my businesses part-time. But earlier this year, I decided to take the leap and become a full-time entrepreneur. The Growing Feeling A few months before I left my career, I began to have a funny feeling that I would not be at the job for long-which was crazy. It was crazy because the job that I was able to land was a dream job for me. I had the opportunity to work with several different teams, learn under a...

In my case I worked for a large financial institution in a department where there was no opportunity for advancement. Whether you seem to get passed up for every promotion or you work for a company where there seems to be no opportunity for growth, being stuck in one position too long and instead of growing in your career is like floating on a raft in the middle of the ocean.

But by the age of 21 if he decides that investment banking is what he...
