Advice to Those just Starting Out

SAVE
this is the best advise I can give. No matter how much, just make a pledge that you will save a fix amount per month and then stick to it no matter what. When person is single, its EASY to spend freely and thats where your discipline will be tested.

ENJOY
When you are single, you can take risks and also enjoy life at the same time. Once you have a family, your decisions (specially career decisions) become more conservative.

Direct deposit a fixed amount into a savings account every month that you dont touch or see...the rest should go into your personal checking.

Build trust with folks you are working with. Dont go for immediate small gains at the expense of others. Look at big picture. Be honest. Do each task that is assigned to you to the best of your ability. Be reliable. Deliver more than you promise. Share. Dont kiss up and kick down.

Enjoy your work. Absorb like a sponge - but also share what you know. Keep in mind every transaction has to be 2-way. Give back at least as much as you receive.

Once you build trust and reputation for honesty and reliability, interesting projects will come your way.

Take time building relationships/friendships.

If the purpose for work is to get wealth.........

Get Married!

Like the sages say: aik = aik

However dou = giarah

one person alone is only equal to one

but when there are two people together they equal eleven!
