One Big Idea

I decided, enough research already, just do it. So I opened up an e-trade account to start investing now that my MBA is complete and I have a regular paycheque hitting my bank account. It got me thinking about the pros and cons of investing in stocks versus bonds, and the power of compound interest. 

Here in lies the One Big Idea:

Sidekicks!

It hit me. While out on the boat waterskiing with Andrew and Emily, it hit me why I revere them both, and its for ultimately the same reason.

Emily is a three-time Olympian and creator of a youth foundation, while Andrew is a former collegiate baseball player and MBA holder. That alone, already in their young lives, makes them remarkable. But what makes these people, in my eyes, king + queen of awesomeness, is their ability to communicate positive energy to another. An authentic enthusiasm for life. 

They make a connection with someone or something and leave it better than it was before.

In life, in business, in adventures, that is the kind of person I would choose to be alongside. 

Looking out at the wake the boat leaves behind as it roars ahead, it's a good question to contemplate, what kind of a wake do I leave?
