Worst investment ever

Jacent had this checklist that she felt she needed to check off to be considered successful when growing up. So she went to school, got her diploma, went to college, got a good degree, and then got a good job. In her pursuit to fulfill societal expectations, she decided to join graduate school. Grad school left her with about $70,000 in student loans. Jacent was so hang up on fulfilling expectations that she didn't even consider looking for a scholarship. She feels that the worst mistake she ever made was taking up this debt.

Lessons learned

• Put boundaries, stipulations, and structure in your life.
• Success is not about feeling like doing something at the moment. It's about being convicted to the point that you must do it because you recognize the consequences would be higher if you don't follow through.
• Instead of focusing on being attached to an outcome, experiment and observe the data you receive. Then be open to what comes after that.

Andrew's takeaways

• Have a clear vision about where you want to be.
• Close your financial books every month.
