I know, it’s been ages. But I promise you I’ve been working on how to continue the dialogue on Lessons Learned.

One pet project of mine is what I call Personal Profitability….it’s a framework, a mindset, a set of tools (excel spreadsheets) which helped me get to a place where I could get a handle on my financial health. None of it is particularly earthshattering, but I just found a huge gap between saving money and what to do next. And I just sort of stumbled through it: opening an IRA, contributing to a 401k, buying an apartment, working for 25+ years.

Looking back, there were some things I did right. There were also some things I did very wrong (Gordon Gekko was right “first lesson in business is: Don’t get emotional about stock”).  So, I’m starting a new chapter about Personal Profitability.

One note…I still think my lessons learned is relevant. Because a big contributor of financial security is the ability to perform at work. The better you perform, the more you’re valued,  the more you’re paid, and the more likely you’ll be a valued member of the team.

So stay posted….. GP
