MKTG 6101 Week 8 Ascend Your Start-UP: Consider
Your Future
By: Freddy Garcia 6/21/2022
I am now six classes away from completing the MBA program once this class ends. I took a journey six years to make the decision to leave one of the biggest investment firms and partner up with someone who had the same desire to go independent and create an investment firm on his own terms. It turned out it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The business decision also effected the rest of my life and changed my quality of life. Unfortunately, I still got divorced but that was going to happen regardless. The decision has allowed me to become financially secure and even through stressful events like a divorce it has allowed me to remain financially secure and still provide for my family and not have to worry about the divorce being financially devastating as well.
As
I consider the future, I know I am at the top of my career. I have been working
25 years to get this point and it feels amazing to finally get there. The reason
for me getting my MBA is to continue to self-improve. I want to learn more and
network with others and learn from them. As I read Ascend Your Start-UP it
reminded me of the journey I took to get where I am. I realize that the journey
never actually ends as there is still more to learn and do. I focused so much
on investments that I did not focus on marketing and if I want to continue to grow
our small firm then marketing will play huge part of it. I am not looking to
become a marketing specialist, but I do want to learn more about it and then
perhaps partner up with someone who is an expert in that area.
