    ...I Think I Need to Fire My Boss

    Umm… have you ever felt like you wanted to fire your boss? What about like you NEEDED to? If you’re a business owner, I’ve got good news for you. You have the ability, and the freedom, to ‘fire your boss.’ Here’s the story of a rude client (aka my boss) and how we had the freedom to decide not to work with him anymore.

    The Confidence of a Belligerent Beachgoer

    Confidence is key when you’re running your own business. If you’re not confident, DO MORE RESEARCH. One time in Florida, my love for debate and my confidence in my own research landed me in the local paper!

    A Valentine's Day Surprise

    Having a birthday on Valentine’s Day is a blessing and a curse. But you gotta make the most of it, right? One year, I threw myself a reverse surprise party (woah) with actors, fighting, and tons of fun.

    Another Waterfall Moment — Research Pays Off

    How was I able to build an incredible waterfall feature in my backyard? I’ll tell you: Patience and Research. When you’re starting a new project, do the research and take your time. Wait for the perfect time to buy materials at a fraction of their normal cost. And use that extra money to pay someone — an expert — who knows what they are doing.

    $500,000 Waterfall

    Do you know why most new businesses fail? I’ll tell you, it’s not because their idea isn’t good enough. Or because they don’t have the skills to be successful. Most new businesses fail because their focus isn’t on profit. It’s as simple as that. You need to know your profit margins to be successful.

    Would You Write the Letter?

    If you’re a business owner, it can feel like your work is the most important thing in the world. Usually, it’s not. There’s the business you leave home for, and the one you come home to. Make sure the business at home is the most important.

    The Wise Men at Woodland

    It just blows my mind that a single job can change the entire course of your life. When I worked at the Woodland condominium complex in college, I felt my first push into entrepreneurship. Thankfully, my boss was supportive, and the wise men at Woodland turned out to be incredible mentors. Goes to show what can happen if you keep an open mind and an ear out for opportunities!

    Learn It, Build It, Teach It

    In your first 30 years of life, you are learning the world. The next 30 years, you are building the world. With the last 30-40 years, you have a beautiful opportunity to teach the world. The next generation is waiting to learn from you!
