Sometimes the path to investing and entrepreneurship isn’t a clearly defined progression...and sometimes making the leap into entrepreneurship isn’t even our idea!

BIG TAKE-AWAYS:

  1. Understanding money matters - bonus if you add a well-aimed mindset
  2. People are held back by fear not because of monetary loss, but because of “ego” or reputation. Shift your mindset and say “who cares!”
  3. There is no “one” definition of success
