Michigan and University of New Orleans
Tuesday I'm getting on a plane and heading back to Michigan. It has been a fun run here in Florida. I've met some great guys - brilliant entrepreneurs, pursuing their own dreams and passions. It has been fun playing both sides of the fence between work and personal with a group that are as intense and motivated as I am. These people want to see the world change at the tips of their fingers. To me that is freedom.
I am heading down to the University of New Orleans after my short-run trip to Michigan. I'll be packing my things and finding myself an apartment before starting summer classes. I look forward to maintaining long-term relationships with the people I've met down here. It has been fun.
I look forward to the time that I can jump in to my own entrepreneurial venture. Bridging the gap between what exists and what needs to exist to make society more productive is what drives me. Right now the only thing stopping me is capital.
Once I can secure a six figure job, working three days/week with summers off I think I'll feel confident to jump forward. Keeping in mind this goal is only three years away. I need to be accepted for my dissertation and than I can start applying for teaching positions at an AACSB accredited university for finance.
I did have a dream or vision last night. I'll include it because it is pertinent to the above.
I had this idea/dream/vision that in the not-so-distant future, maybe fifteen years I'll be harvesting corn. Starting a farm on a US wide basis but distributing on a global scale. I'll use my ability to trade commodities to hedge my risk against drought. I think this plays on multiple levels ranging from possible food shortage to a shortage of incentive for farmers. Trading commodities should back my ability to farm, while teaching will provide a stable platform. I'm not sure how this dream will change and mold but I'm interested in seeing things develop. I also see myself investing in multiple business ventures in the form of philanthropy. I want to see human kind develop. Another venture that I have my eye on is better/sustainable schools. I think we have been so rigid as a society in terms of what we think we need for education. Maybe we could be more productive focusing on our strengths from day one.
