HAPPY NEW YEAR 2023

AND A SPECIAL HAPPY NEW YEAR TO MY FELLOW MISFITS!
I confess I am a lifelong misfit. Waterboarding is NOT required to get my confession. Carrot Cake, works MUCH BETTER!
Being a misfit can be a good thing because it can allow a person to think differently and bring fresh perspectives to a group or situation. Like many misfits, I am an introvert and avid reader who loves to learn and tackle real-world problems. My natural traits allowed me to excel in my career.
As a misfit, I struggled to make true friends in High School and College. I had a few fake friends, and we quickly lost contact after school. The people I was attracted to, with similar values and aspirations, have remained steadfast and good friends. Friends I learn from and rely on.

IT IS YOUR UNIQUENESS THAT MAKES YOU EXCEPTIONAL
Years ago, at the back of the classroom sat a boy whose teachers considered him a misfit. When the teacher called on him, he struggled with words. The teacher informed the boy’s parents the child had no prospects; how could he when he couldn’t even form a sentence? A few years later, the boy is expelled for being rebellious and negatively influencing his peers.
The boy mentioned above was Albert Einstein, who, after being expelled, went on to win the Nobel Prize and become one of the world’s most famous scientists.
Imagine if his parents had listened to that teacher!

ABOUT ME
I am a proud nerd (as my beautiful wife and daughter have told me), investment and finance blogger with an N.C. State, Chemical Engineering, University Rutgers, MBA and Harvard University, Advanced Management education.
I left a corporate career because I desired to make a difference as a speaker and writer. I was blessed to be coached and mentored by strong women and men in my family and professional life. It is my time to serve and give back.
DISCLAIMER
I started my first business at ~13 years of age (a small but brilliantly created plant nursery). I am a successful investor in stocks, options, real estate and am happy to share my finance and investment lessons. I am NOT a licensed financial advisor. Please do not construe my suggestions on this blog as recommendations for your situation. As an investor, you must establish your risk/loss tolerance. Investment in any asset involves risk, including complete loss.
Please seek your licensed CPA or fiduciary financial advisors for individual financial advice.
I write this weekly blog to make an impact by reaching an audience and demonstrating the need for financial literacy. I will help you get there.
