KSE: Knowledge, Strategy, Execution

KSE: Knowledge, Strategy, Execution

Knowledge: Learn from those who are succeeding where you want to be. Make them your mentor, either in person or by example.  Knowledge alone will not get you anywhere but is the first step to create a great strategy. Strategy: Use your acquired knowledge to develop a solid strategy.  Think deeply on the knowledge found.  A strategy is not a plan; plans are step by step actions that do not account…

Re-educating Myself

As Robert Kiyosaki talks about in  Rich Dad Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not!most of us go through life, educated but poor.  The school systems have taught us how to have a career but never how to use, save, and handle our money.  So the wealthy learn how to make money work for them, and the poor work for money.  Unfortunately I am like so…

Breckenridge Spartan Beast

I had a hard time sleeping the night before my race.  The Beast looming in my mind. If I was prepared enough, had enough energy bars/electrolyte gummies, would the weather work out, would I actually have to swim through mountain water, how much snow would be on the ground, how hot would the sun be at this elevation… That’s what I do though, overthink, and sometimes over prepare.  I stayed at a…

Just bought a stock!

there are many out there who might think, “So what?��; but this is a big deal for me. Sure I’ve had retirement accounts through my various jobs through the years but I put time and effort into looking at stocks and reading up on it. Then I bought 1 share of DDD or 3D Systems Corp, a 3D printing company. Why 1 share you ask, because stocks are expensive and I don’t have any money. This is more…
