North Star To Success (Obama Part 5)
Hope is the belief that destiny will not be written for us, but by us - Barack Obama I finished reading chapter 5 of Barack Obamas “A Promise Land” book, and at least for the end of the chapter, it really focused on 2 main things, confidence and momentum.

Vital Components to Success
Supercar/BMW Cruise from SLO to Big Sur! So for this blog post, I decided to change things up rather than doing a reading or listening to a podcast. I decided to talk about a conversation I had with one of my mentors, and hopefully help someone out there. So, for context, a while back, when I used to live in Paso Robles, I used to go to car meets and I was also interested in business. And I thought what better way than to learn from real business owners, and fortunately for m

Finance Playbook?
Most of us think that the Federal Reserve (Mint/BEP) enter the most amount of money into our economy but banks through loans actually produce the most amount of money supply into our economy, while its not actually making physical money there's a multiplier affect that causes such effect to occur!
