I remember the moment very vividly.
I was walking into my office at the not-for-profit where I was working at the time. There were piles of papers and folders on two chairs and my desk, plus more on the floor behind my chair.
It was year-end, which meant that everything had to be reconciled. It was my last chance to ensure the grants were spent down and the funds were used appropriately.
This was an agency with 100+ grants. I had around 50 of them. Many were small (under $100K).
And I thought to myself “Is this all there is???”
If you have had this thought you know how defeating it can be.
I had two choices. I could either accept this as my fate or I could change my future.
I chose the latter.
The scary part was that things could be worse. After all, I had been in this position for over a decade. I knew the people. I had seniority.
But, I simply could not go on with the stagnation.
Within a couple months I had a new job, making a lot more money, and higher up the org chart. But there were still long hours and lots of piles. The same fate at a higher pay grade.
As Derek Rydall says “I was broke at a higher tax bracket”. More money did not equal more satisfaction.
Then I realized I did not know what my purpose was. After all, I must be here for a reason, right? So, I started focusing on my all-elusive purpose.
It took a few years, but I narrowed it down. First to helping people achieve their dreams. Then to helping people achieve their dreams by teaching them how to achieve financial success. Then to helping them cut the learning curve to financial freedom, whatever that might mean to them.
I spent decades and tens of thousands of dollars learning about money, finances, investing, and money mindset. And, because I did, you do not have to- especially if you do not find nirvana in a spreadsheet!
I am here to give my knowledge to you.
To cut the learning curve.
To make financial literacy simple… and maybe even a little fun!
To help you achieve your dreams and goals.
The first step to evolving to a higher level of you is deciding you have had enough of your current life.
Things do not have to be “bad” for you to make this decision. You may be stuck in a “this is okay, but is this all there is?” mode.
You may be okay with your life, but want something more for your children. Perhaps to help them not have to make all the financial mistakes you made as a young adult…
Or maybe you are approaching the midlife crisis of wondering what your higher purpose is and how you can meet your goals when all the rules are changing. After all, it is a whole new world when you go from employee to entrepreneur or small business owner.
It all comes down to appreciating what you have, but deciding you deserve more. And, it is okay to want more.
