You Need to Build Wealth

If You Don’t Think You Do, You Do.

My Story

I distinctly remember when I was about 13, is when I had the instinct that college or university wasn’t going to help me.

I thought I would keep it simple — work various jobs, get paid, and sort myself out. I probably still would have ended up in the military, but spending 20 years active duty instead of part time. Instead, the influence of parents set me on a path to the unsatisfactory.

TRIGGER WARNING

I graduated high school. For me it was a mistake, because I should have spent that time earning money and figuring out business. I did go to the military, but it was part time. Again, I should have gone full time for all the pay. I took college classes and eventually earned an Associates Degree in Computer Science.

Even if I had a PhD, corporate America is not a place for somebody who knows they’re worth more. I know this description doesn’t only apply to me.

Now, my mission is showing the youth a path to wealth so they can worry less and live more.
