SHOULD I  BUILD A NETWORK TO ENHANCE MY CAREER?

This week I sat down with CPA, financial influencer and networker extraordinaire, Philip “PT” Taylor.

Philip is a CPA, husband and father of three. He created PTMoney.com back in 2007, and he founded FinCon, the annual marketing conference for financial influencers and professionals, in 2011. He got rid of debt, learned to live lean, saved his money, and eventually left his unsatisfying corporate career to pursue his entrepreneurial ventures full-time.

HERE'S WHAT YOU’LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE:

• The simple things you can do to take control of your finances.
