Coming Up Corporate
I am not a sellout. Being my own boss would be a dream come true. But when I finished college two years ago, I didn’t have that million dollar idea.

Reining in Your Dreams?
I just read an article in the LA times talking about how people in my generation (I guess we’re the millenials?) are lowering their expectations about career and financial based success. I have to say, I’m not surprised by the article. I feel the crunch and I have a job that I like and a modicum of financial stability. I guess for me, the debate comes back to wrestling with that “American Dream”. I know it’s overused and now it’s more of a pipe dream than anything else these days, but it’s still there and real. Now, to repeat a resolve that is emerging among our peers—we need a new dream. I’m not going to spend time talking about economics that I only mildly understand—that’s for someone else. I’m not smart enough to come up with that new dream, but I want to focus on our comparison mentality and why change should start there.

Tangibly Passionate: 5 steps to Turning Inspirations into Realities
Passion. It’s an observable energy, both powerful and captivating in nature. You feel it within yourself and can see in others.
