Chief Mom Officer Goes to FinCon 2018, Wins An Award, And Rounds Up 50+ Recaps
It’s been a few days since I flew home from FinCon 2018, and boy are my arms tired! Actually, it’s just me that’s tired. But in a great way.

How To Go From $22k Per Year To Six Figures. A Real Guide (No Ivy League. Not Quick. Not Easy.)
There’s a lot of stories out there about people who make six figures, but not much on how exactly to do it.

I’m going to change that. Today I have CMO’s complete guide to going from a low-paying job into a lucrative career. This is all either what I did to go from someone going to community college and earning $22,000 per year to an MBA earning six figures.
