My vision,my goal, my future.

Ive had so many different goals for myself throughout the years,i consider myself to be a person who likes to encounter and experience different things. Most people have a certain trade or hobby that they turn into something profitable in the future, but me i think i've tapped a little into everything,kind of like your all-around player. Not specializing in anything but knows a little of everything. With that said, my first vision that i have that i want to build on the next 3 to 5 years is my career as an accountant. I really want to help people with their financial situations especially lower income families around where i live.Taking action by pursuing my education here at baruch, and hopefully a C.P.A. notch to back it, i can come out guns blazing and just turn things around for people and also companies who need some financial help.Second on my list of goals for the next 3 to 5 years is my poker career.. Its something i picked up as a hobby about a year ago, and as i've been playing noticed that i wasn't bad at the various games that it offers. Poker is very analogous to the every day life struggles we experience. It's hard to explain but if you give it a try, maybe you'll see what i mean. you have to take calculated risks, and sometimes go beyond that,a mantra i like to go by is"you have to be willing to die,to really live". This class has helped me with my bankroll management which is vital to a career at poker.I try to committ at least an hour or two a day if i can at my favorite poker site,fulltiltpoker.com.My bankroll has grown considerably since i started playing and i think its something that i want to pursue, with the vision of being semi-pro in about 2-3 years,and if things go really well,maybe i'll think about making it a full time thing,MAYBE, lol(but I gotta have a lock on at least $500k or more for that). My third goal within the next 3 to 5 years has to be developing my own business. I think primarily i would go towards opening a business embodying whatever degree i get, in my case accounting. Knowing myself though i can go as far as a restaurant, or even a massage therapy business.It's one of my most important goals, that goes the furthest out of all of my goals.Through family members and a few business clients at the bank, ive learned different types of business structures, and how to go about opening one.

Poker: wow I never saw it like that. Interesting. I guess its true. Your taking risks and Life is all about risks. So I guess it prepares you. This is a very unique goal.
"you have to be willing to die,to really live". That’s a nice quote.

A massage therapy business I would have never thought you had interest in that. That’s cool. Well, it says about you. So, I was wondering if you could share with me some of the tips you learned on opening up a business.? Well good luck on all your goals and have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Some big goals up there!
I'm surprised, I noticed most people, including me, take business as their major for selfish reasons. But you wanted to be accountant to help people, that's very kind of you!
I felt a bit ashame that I major finance just for myself.LOL.
