There are several reasons why individuals date in our generation. Some of those reasons are really good and others can be a bit more shallow. Typically, there are only a few real reasons for you to devote time and energy, or in my case, the rest of my life to someone. These same rules or thoughts can certainly apply to a serious relationship with a girlfriend or boyfriend as well. For me, they became somewhat of a general practice when dating, then developed even more as I continued to build my relationship. I have recently talked to my good friends with spouses, fiancés and those in long term relationships who also share similar thoughts. Be sure to ask yourself a few questions before investing (they will be [...]

As we step into our 30s, a place we would have never dreamt of being in years ago, we have to reflect. We have to look back and respond to all of the goals our 18-25 year old selves thought we would have accomplished by now. We have to respond to the ticking time clock that we have created for ourselves stating what we should have done, how much we should be making and what type of material things we should have acquired by now. I am a millennial, I know the "struggle" of "running out of time", as we had a lot of things that we just knew we would do by now. I am here to tell you, you are just fine. I am not [...]

Disclaimer: This is not a post that will tell you just a bit of information about how I eliminated debt and then attempt to have you buy items. This post is exactly how I eliminated all of my debt under 30, and it is solely to help you do the same at whatever stage of life you are in.

In order to gain reward, you must either take risks, or make decisions to truly eliminate any and everything that is not leading you toward your goal. This concept is certainly true in [...]

Dear New Year's Resolutions, This is a letter from the person who will be certainly overcoming you on this year. This note is to not only encourage myself as an entrepreneur and a habitual goal accomplisher, but to encourage others to make sure to do all that they can to be successful this coming year. We are all setting goals as we approach yet another turn to change our own history and to achieve. We make long lists of things that we are going to do in the upcoming year, things that we are going to accomplish, money that we are going to save and so on. But this time, there are a few things that I will encourage others to do to make sure that they [...]

Goals and aspirations are a part of life. From the everyday items you would like to complete or simply the longer term goals for yourself, we think of these "goals" moment to moment. As business owners and entrepreneurs we must continuously goal set. Our goals are a bit different, as our strategies will lead to success within our companies and field. Without setting goals for the company and for the brand, we are essentially setting our company up for failure by not establishing benchmarks for what success is. We all set individual goals for ourselves, whether in the workforce or as an entrepreneur. We must do the same for our businesses. We must develop a list of goals we would like to achieve, and then begin brainstorming [...]
