Quarter Life Crisis

So the career will bring in some income, some degree of
achievement, and some valuable industry experience.

On top of that, the investing and money management of that
income will provide some long term financial security.  GREAT!

So what are we missing here? There HAS to be more…right? While
most people deal with these questions half way through their lives, I’m preparing myself
for it early as part of my Quarter Life Crisis.

While working under someone is a valuable experience to
have, I can’t see myself doing that for the rest of my life.   I’ve
been blessed with some great bosses and am definitely not complaining about
them, but at some point, all that work, effort, stress and time you invest into
someone else’s business should be invested into your own.  Imagine an I-banking minion on Wall Street
working not-so-atypical 100 hour weeks. Sure they get paid pretty well, but
what if they spent that same 100 hours a week searching for a business
opportunity?  With that work ethic, a
capable team around you, and a sound opportunity - you've got yourself pretty
solid venture in the long run. 

At some point in your career, you may decide to start a
business.  You may be disgruntled with
your job or you may have come stumbled upon a business opportunity. Instead of
waiting for an opportunity or sucking it up till I can’t stand my job, I am
beginning my career with entrepreneurship in mind.  Keep in mind that being entrepreneurial doesn't
mean I’m going to start my career as an entrepreneur- But I will I try to build a
relevant skill set, knowledge base and meet the right people so that I am ready to start up when I do find that opportunity.
