Too Little, Too Much!
People always told me, you’re doing too many things at once, focus on one thing and do it the best you can instead of being average at a bunch of things. I believed it and that’s what I tried, one thing at a time. I dedicated my life to one talent or hobby months at a time. Trying out one thing after the.

5 Tips to Choose an Accountant
As a 20-something millennial, I thought that the time for accountants was still in my distant future. I thought that I would have ample time to prepare myself emotionally for what I thought was essentially someone noseying through my finances and telling me how badly I was doing.

Why Blogging Doesn't Have to Be Your Full Time Job
It's been just under a month since I've begun this 'blogging' thing. I sort of picked it up thinking it would be a sweet side hobby to have to reignite what used to be my passion for writing. I find that my brain is quite good at talking to itself most days, and I wondered what it would be like to read those thoughts aloud to myself sometimes.

Discovering Time Management I
Some people seem to live life with 12 extra hours they discover at 5am. I know and love a dear aunt who wakes up early in the morning to get in a run, makes breakfast and lunch for her 2 kids, works a full time job, helps out with school functions and extras when they come up, keeps her marriage happy, and makes time for her friends and family. She does all of this without ever seeming overwhelmed or exhausted. I am not that person, but I want to be.

Balance in the Team
“I think it’s good to hire for a balance in the team rather than individual skills. I like to have a balance of men and women in the team because I think women are naturally better at some of those skills which men don’t have and it rounds out the team’s capabilities.”

Things I Learned as a Dropshipper
I assume you know what dropshipping means, but if not, it is really simple: connect a manufacturer with a customer (probably more like manufacturers with customers). No inventory, experience, knowledge, or startup cash required. It is easy, right? Well, yes and no.

It's Okay to Get Rejected from Every Job You Apply To
When I was in elementary school I remember thinking that 23 was old; like, 23 was the age you had your life together and were an adult. Well, I can confidently say I don’t feel that way now. Now, it’s more like I hope I have my life together by 27, but I’m only 20, so let's see how I feel at 25. To me, it's crazy when my mom tells me that after high school she moved into an apartment in Los Angeles with her brother, and they both had separate rooms and just minimum wage jobs, and had time for social lives on top of that. That idea that one minimum wage job can get you your own room in a decent apartment in Los Angeles is now impossible. Nowadays, we go to college, still use our parents' money and loan money, our minimum wage or slightly better job then pays for our extracurriculars and fun, followed by moving back home after college. Not because we want to, but because it's too expensive to live without help. The other day I was having a conversation with my parents about how people are getting married so late and I just responded, “We can’t afford living on our own, how do you expect two people to afford getting married?” Not the wedding part, but the fact that you can’t have roommates anymore to split the rent, it's just the two of you and one room. What a daunting idea just financially. After working my first job at Jamba Juice for a year and a half, I remember thinking to myself, “This job motivates me to do more with my life, because I don’t want to do a minimum wage job like this again.” My first job was a walk in the park; I was friends with the majority of my coworkers, my boss trusted me, I was promoted so I was the boss most of the time, the pay was good and the hours were even better. It just got so mind numbing that I tried doing any more work I could do.
