There’s no better time than college to start a business.

In college, having a side business that brings […]

Everyone wants to create something thing they can call their own and be able to inspire others to follow on your footsteps.

One of my biggest focuses to build wealth is simply earning more money. For many, that involves creating a side hustle. For some, that side hustle or passion can turn into a full time gig.

“College students don’t invest because they don’t have any money!” Have you heard that before? A reader called me out and said that my story about working and investing while in college was rare, and that most college students earn next to nothing. I call B.S. In fact, I think most college students can earn decent […]

Some people seem to be born with entrepreneurship running through their veins while others have stumbled on it through a series of life events, such as working a soul-sucking job. After reading the Better Know a Young Millionaire series, it’s apparent that an entrepreneur can find extreme success even at a very young age. While […]

For as long as I can remember, I have been labeled as an idea man. I’m excellent at creating theoretical schemes, and proposing grand solutions to problems. In a group setting, I am usually the one throwing out ideas and ways to solve a problem. I have a notebook of business ideas that I carry […]

Too often, college kids and recent graduates (like me) get sold  the same pale of career and investing advice: save up your money, make wise stock investments, dump some cash into your 401(k), and dear God, take absolutely no risk…take joy in sitting in your cubicle crunching numbers all day!
