This past week, I started to ask for more practical advice on making my leap – different financial planning tools (personal and professional), health insurance, etc. These items and the options they present take a good deal of planning and preparation and I wanted to start to collect as much data as I can from [...]

In any transition, we often focus on the end goal. In my year of leaping into full-time entrepreneurship, I’ve spent a lot of time planning how to successfully complete that transition: personal financial planning, long-term strategy for Compass Yoga, funding, and partnerships that will grow our programming. But there’s an often overlooked detail when we [...]

Beginning: Advice for Occupy Wall Street Protesters – You Need to Occupy the Banks’ Balance Sheets and Strategic Plans

Posted in business, change, money, New York City on November 22, 2011 | 4 Comments »

I knew this would happen. The company that owns Zuccotti Park also owns the office building where I work. On Friday, about 40 protestors made their way to our front door.
