**I walked away from a successful hedge fund because I realized making money wasn't my only purpose.**

Back in 2008, I was working with Citigroup.

It wasn't an easy year. The market was down 40%, and financial companies were down 57%.

But I still managed to make money for Citigroup's shareholders.

The following year, they gave me more money to manage. And that continued.

Then a new law prevented banks from owning hedge funds, and I was laid off.

Instead of seeing it as the end of my career, I saw it as an opportunity to start my own fund.

And it did really well.

But four years later, something happened that changed the way I looked at my work.

I attended a personal development course where a speaker claimed that stock options were the only way to get rich, requiring little money and being essentially risk-free.

I knew that wasn't true.

Having worked in the financial industry, I understood the risks involved. And I felt uncomfortable knowing that people might believe something so misleading.

I spoke up and shared what I knew with people who asked me about it.

That night, I couldn't sleep.

I kept thinking about what had happened and what I truly wanted to do with my knowledge and experience.

Eventually, I made a decision.

I shut down my funds and started figuring out my true purpose.

Because I realized something:

**Making money is important. But how you make it, what you stand for, and the impact you create matter, too.**

Have you ever reached a point where what you're doing no longer feels aligned with who you want to become?

I had a highly paid job on Wall Street. But there was one problem… I wasn't having fun.

Back when I was working as an actuary, I thought I had a pretty good career.

It paid well. It was a respectable profession.

But deep inside, I knew something was missing.

I started thinking…

"What if I could make a living doing the things I genuinely love? Wouldn't work become more enjoyable?"

So I started asking other actuaries on Wall Street for their advice.

Most of them told me the same thing:

"Stay as an actuary."

And honestly, I understood why. It was a good, stable career.

But there was one person who gave me a different perspective.

That person showed me a possible path toward a life that aligned more with what I truly wanted.

I listened. I followed much of that advice. And eventually, I found myself living a life where I could pursue my passions instead of simply holding on to what looked like the best job.

Here's what I learned:

Sometimes, the biggest opportunity in your life comes when you're willing to question what everyone else considers the right path.

A good career can give you financial security. But don't forget to ask yourself what kind of life you actually want to build.

💬 DM me PURPOSE if you're thinking about creating a life that aligns more with your passions and financial goals.

Have you ever felt that you're successful on paper, but something is still missing?

What if your money mindset is shaping more than your finances?

The way we think about money can influence the decisions we make, the opportunities we pursue, and the goals we set.

Sometimes, the next step isn't simply working harder. It's taking time to understand the beliefs behind our financial decisions.

**Purpose and Prosperity** by Jackie Roberge and Joel Salomon explores the relationship between personal purpose, money mindset, and financial growth.

If you're an entrepreneur who wants to think more intentionally about success and prosperity, this book may be worth exploring.

Before you set your next financial goal, ask yourself one question: WHY?

Why does this goal matter to you?

Is it about creating more choices? Growing a business? Building something meaningful? Or becoming the person you've always wanted to be?

Your answer can help you reflect on your priorities and the direction you're taking.

Because setting a goal is one thing. Understanding what drives it is another.

What if success wasn't just about how much you earn, but also about what you're building and why?

Financial goals matter. So do your values, your priorities, and the purpose behind your ambitions.

You don't have to stop pursuing growth to start reflecting on what meaningful success looks like for you.

The first step may simply be rethinking the way you define prosperity.

Life doesn't require a trade-off between meaningful contribution and financial well-being.

That's the idea behind my latest book, Your Path to Purpose and Prosperity, which I wrote with purpose coach Jackie Roberge. She comes at it through purpose and values. I come at it through money and the beliefs we carry about it.

Too many people believe they have to choose: do work that matters, or do work that pays. You can have both, and the first step is noticing which beliefs are making you choose.

I talked about this with Richard Lowe on Leaders and Their Stories:
