Good Afternoon everyone and Welcome to our newest periodical, where we will discuss and showcase a plethora of finance-related subjects, valuable wealth-building tools, and ideas, divulge tips for financial success and well-being, and go over strategies to help boost and even maximize your potential to become money savvy. Each week, I will post on Sundays, so that everyone can start their Monday off on better financial footing!
Before we get into the upcoming juicy details, I cannot forego my manners and not introduce myself. My name is Serita Tillson, and I am a former student at the University of Phoenix, where I studied Financial Planning. Currently, I am awaiting re-entrance to Cambridge College Global, formerly known as the New England College of Business and Finance, here I intend to finish my Bachelors program and move onto a Masters's program. I might even go for a Ph.D., because well if I'm going to get a higher education, I may as well go all out. It is my dream to own and operate my own financial services business, or perhaps even teach Finance or Accounting to others as a career. Wherever this road leads me, I am determined that it will be successful!
So... about 5 years ago, I had a medical issue flare up out of nowhere, that had, unbeknownst to me, been there my whole life and I never knew about it. Three different specialists have all told me, "No more manufacturing, no more hard labor, you have to choose a new career, or else." That "or else" was a surgery that has an iffy success rate, and will lead to more surgeries down the road if I don't straighten my act up and wise up. That was a huge blow to my self-esteem because I was raised to work hard for what I have. I had to swallow some very bitter pride, and take my health and ability to be walking, and maintaining my physical mobility into consideration, and choose a new career path. So, I threw myself into school and worked from home full time. It has thus far been extremely challenging, there have been months at a time where I have not made more than pocket change and barely kept bills and rent paid, and I have sacrificed a lot. Throw in a worldwide pandemic and a few economic disasters in there, and all of Hades breaks loose. I have not given up on my dreams, I just have to find new ways to achieve them. I'm about to hit the big 4-0 in January 2023, and there is no better time than now to get this career going and make something grand of it. "Tillson Financial Services" will become more than just a name I created for a business, a Facebook page, and a budding entrepreneurship. This is my life from now on and I have to start living and breathing it.
I have had a lifelong passion for finance, entrepreneurship, and all things business and money-related. I strongly support women and minority-owned businesses and careers where women can lead. When other kids were reading the Sunday comics in the newspaper, I was the one reading the Finance section, reading job listings, and devouring any scrap of information I could find on how to make money. My first introduction to business building was to Avon when I was 14. I still love Avon products by the way, but I have outgrown that business model. MLM and Direct Sales jobs were my first taste of how to build and market a business, and it has taught me some valuable lessons about what works and what does not.
It's not a pretty world we live in and for the women trying to succeed in an extremely tough economic environment, the ability to get ahead and really stand out in the workforce and make a name for themselves is all important. In the past, I have been a small business owner, an entrepreneur, an author, and a Jane of All Trades. Recently I just re-opened a new Amazon Associates Account, and you will occasionally see affiliate links to products, services, books and etc. related to finance money, and business building posted here. I might throw in an oddball thing here and there just because. Next Sunday's post is going to be about Amazon and other companies and brands that offer affiliate programs because creating multiple streams of income is important to wealth building. If you want to know how that works and the details behind how to start earning a side income or even a full-time career doing affiliate work, then subscribe to this blog and be sure to check next Sunday's post. I'm going to sign off for tonight, and I will see everyone again next Sunday.
