Financial Education & Personal Investing

Financial Education & Personal Investing

Welcome to today’s post! Recently I posted on all the books which I attribute to my success. One of those books is about personal investing and financial education. It is called, “The White Coat Investor” Dr. James M. Dahle, MD. Dr. Dahle is an emergency room physician who knew early in his education that he would need additional financial education to put his eventually large salary to good use. He has since written other books on the topic of finances, however his first book is what I discuss in my latest video.

One of the best parts of this book is the chapter on, “The path to becoming a millionaire”.  This is super practical advice, and convinced me that no matter my income, I could actually achieve this goal. 

The truth is, not many of us have a good financial education. Even those of us who went to business school can use extra resources on how investing works, and how in general money works. Not to mention learning the difference between these ‘get rich quick’ schemes that keep popping up versus slow and steady growth of money.

Of course, I do not have all the answers or even all the information. But, I can say that, the book “The White Coat Investor” provided me enough of an education to be more successful than I would have been without it!

How to prepare for a job interview

How to prepare for a job interview

Preparing for a job interview? Want to feel confident going into it and know you’ve got the job? My video on how to prepare for a job interview will put you in the right direction for success!

When preparing for a job interview, we can sometimes get caught up in thoughts of worry or anxiety. This is SO natural. Job interviews are a time when you KNOW you are being judged. AND the outcome of that judgement determines part of your future.

In this video, I cover a few ways to prepare, and feel confident; but also remind you that this is a time for YOU to determine if this job is right for you. Remember, anytime you are being interviewed, you should also be interviewing back.

Funny story: when I was receiving a five year service award, my boss jokingly recounted that my interview felt more like I was interviewing HIM than him interviewing me. Although that was 100% what I was going for, I am glad that I showed curiosity to make sure the job was a right fit!
