    Dear Charles, I believe that nothing is a con-incidence. I have been asking the universe for a mentor/guide. I heard you speak yesterday on Squawk Box (CNBC) and learnt of this course. I am currently at professional cross-roads trying to transition from the luxury industry into finance. Would you have a few minutes in your busy schedule to have a chat over the phone or on video? My email address is: sreelachatterjee@mac.com. Thank you for the course and your time! Sincerely Sreela

    I do not have the bandwidth to initiate personal conversations. However, I am available for coaching at a rate of $500 per hour. If that does not work for you, I will gladly answer questions on line as others will benefit from them as well.

    The personal coaching fee is not currently viable for me, unfortunately. I am not sure if my particular case will be pertinent to others. I have 16 years of experience in sales and business development in the luxury industry and would like to leverage this experience in equity sales or analysis. I have basic finance knowledge and am a CFA level 1 candidate. I am 40 years old with significance experience in my metier...but cording over is trying out to be challenging. What can I do to facilitate

    Your case is pertinent. The next block of lessons will be Money & How to Make It.

    There are two key points to being successful at in essence starting over. The first is to close open items related to your life, both personal and business. Completing open items should not just be a one time event, but rather a lifetime practice. Two, be willing to fail in your new venture. And every time you fail, make sure there are no open items. Network, talk to everybody you can talk to. Also important to do is discern where is it that you can create value for others in your chosen field.

    Sooner or later you will begin to be successful in your new arena. But it will take time. No one can do this for you. You need to do more then think. Waiting for the right opportunity is not a recipe for success. Attempting, failing, attempting again and again and sooner or later, you will win.

    Hope the above points were useful. I admit it is annoying that my return button is actually the send button on this site.

    Hi Charles, when will we see the new block of lessons. On of my open items is getting a job in finance...so can only close it once I get it. I actually have no problem failing...I know that every successful person has had failures to reach success and I don't view failures as failures just as hurdles that make the fruit of success sweeter.

    I have contacted lots of companies..though mainly on the buy side. Now I will try calling them with a stock pitch...I realize I have to be tenacious..but calling someone on the phone is always daunting. Cause you have 2 minutes to make an impression.

    oop..I meant sell side. I am not waiting around for something to drop in my lap. Perhaps am not being as tenacious as I need to be cause I hit a wall..and just went numb. I sat for my cfa level 1 and did not make it and will sit again in December. Even though I was not expecting to make it failure especially at such an extensive curriculum exam hurts!! Some days I just stare and don't do anything...case I am not are what to really do...will take your advise in consideration and try and tasks at
