I recently talked with a business owner that thought their business could not afford an incentive plan for its employees. It was just too small and too early since it was a startup. His observation was that other business owners had tried bonus plans and had less than successful results. Do you feel the same way about your business? Should this really be the case?

Having $2,000 to $3,000 to invest is a good feeling, but how you allocate those funds can impact your finances more than you might realize. Where investing your small nest egg and adding to it regularly can lead to significant returns over time, stuffing $2,000 to $3,000 in cash under your mattress can mean losing money to inflation over time. Before you decide where to invest $2,000 to $3,000, think about when you’ll need the money.

It kinda killed my motivation to write yet another pierce discussing Fed actions.

In the climb from contributor to leader, the rules quietly change. If you’re aiming for the summit, the air gets thinner—and what got you here won’t be enough to get you to the top (a concept first popularized by Marshall Goldsmith in his book What Got You Here Won’t Get You There ). What made you successful early in your finance career—technical accuracy, sharp analysis, flawless execution—won’t be what carries you to the next level.
