What it Really Means to Be an Expert in Your Field | Brunch on a Wednesday

Brunch on a Wednesday: How to Create a Financial Future That’s All Yours

I feel like I've been running into a similar conversation a lot with clients lately. It usually goes something like this: Me: I see you have a goal of buying a house. You: Yeah... Me: That's great, are you planning to stay where you are now for a while? You:…

Brunch on a Wednesday: Why a bad day doesn’t have to mean a bad month
