I simultaniously can’t believe this was three years ago, and it feels like forever. Starting my financial services career journey with TD Ameritrade and Charles Schwab was the best move for me, and I didn’t even know it. Five exams later, here I am with my own amazing team and almost all the way through the integration of the two firms. Can’t wait to see what the next three years bring! #SchwabLife #Schwabbie #Series7 #FinancialServices #YouCanDoIt

Growth & Opportunity

The little things matter the most at the grown-ups' table. Do you have a horizontal base of knowledge? From markets, economy, politics to maybe pets. Do you dress well? No matter how much we all avoid making perceptions from looking at people's choices of clothes. They do matter and we all fail to be non-judgemental most of the times unintentionally. How you speak? Your verbal and non-verbal communications present the confidence. You style of walking or posture. Straight look, upright shoulder make you confident. Do you follow hobbies? If yes, it matters. If not, you know what to do.

Any one billionaire’s path is an extremely unique one in which specific challenges were overcome and risks were succesful/unsuccessful. Instead of building a guide to success based off one billionaire’s perspective—merely a single data point—I would be more interested in a guide picking out the common tips/indicators of success between many billionaires.

I love to get out, see things, and meet people for myself. It gives me a true feel for what is going on. It often opens my eyes to new issues and possibilities. For instance, at residential development sites, it gives me a chance to put myself in the position of the perspective renters or buyers and see the property through their eyes. I ask myself what’s the neighborhood like? How’s parking? What stores are close? Does it have public transportation? Where is the nearest hospital? What else can be added to increase desirability and quality of living? I’ll even talk to the neighborhood residents and business owners to get insights, suggestions, and opinions about the area. There are so many intangible things that can be overlooked without a boots on the ground approach.

In today's cutthroat corporate world, are you hitching your career to a "rising star" in your company? Think again. JPMorgan Chase's internal shakeups reveal a harsh truth: *your mentor today could be your downfall tomorrow*. Tying your fate to a single powerful exec is risky business. Daniel Pinto was once the golden boy at JPM, with his allies driving their Aston Martins with pride. But where are they now? 🚗💨 GONE. Cast aside as soon as the winds shifted. The real lesson? *Office politics aren't just a dirty game - they're the game*. Ignore them at your peril. But here's the thing: Does this mean we should all become political animals, currying favor with gatekeepers and plotting our every move? Is this really what career success has come to? 😒 It's time to challenge the status quo. Yes, adaptability is key. Yes, having allies across the organization is smart. But don’t lose sight of your values, your integrity, and the real reason you started this journey. Let's build careers on authentic leadership and meaningful work - not just on who we know or who we can outmaneuver. Because at the end of the day, being remembered for your Aston Martin won’t mean a thing if you’ve lost your soul along the way. #CareerAdvice #Leadership #OfficePolitics
