Excited to kickoff a new gig with a local startup today.

The last year of building out my coaching program and working with clients has been transformational.

It has positioned me to take on a limited # of clients in this new phase.

Just get started.

Professionals often assume that their line of work is the problem.

More often than not, it's a poor company fit.

Areas to assess fit:
• Size
• Mission
• Onsite/Remote
• Supervision
• Camaraderie
• Flexibility

Entrepreneurship is a path of self-discovery.

The bidding wars that first-time home buyers are having to go through sickens me.

Your long-term wealth is created by the gap between your income and expenses. Overpaying for a house locks in your greatest expense at a premium.

Proceed with caution.
