1. The lack of financial literacy in the United States is the cause of many problems including not following your dreams. Alot of times, we make financial decisions based upon other peoples’ goals

2. Make financial goals based on what’s best for YOU and your situations.

3. Practice mindfulness. Be strategic. Work smarter, not harder.

4. In order to be an entrepreneur, you have to be in charge of your emotions, believe in your goals, and stick to your path even though there is chaos. Things don’t always go as planned.
