It wasn’t glamorous, but it was the start of something incredible. My first job in digital health didn’t come with a big paycheck or prestige. In fact, it barely covered my bills, and I often wondered if I’d made the right choice. I had friends with more traditional careers who seemed to be racing ahead financially, and I couldn’t help but feel I was falling behind. But deep down, I knew there was potential in the path I had chosen—even if it didn’t look like success yet.
That job, modest as it was, became the foundation of everything that came after. It wasn’t just a job—it was a door. I learned new skills, built relationships, and gained insights that set me apart. Each project I worked on helped me become more valuable in the marketplace. And while the paychecks weren’t impressive at first, the experience I gained was worth more than I could have imagined. It wasn’t long before other opportunities began to find me, and each new role came with more responsibility, better pay, and—most importantly—greater freedom.
But let me be honest: the journey wasn’t always smooth. There were times I felt stuck, frustrated, and unsure if all the effort would pay off. I thought about giving up and settling for something safer. Maybe you’ve felt that way, too—working hard but not seeing the financial growth you hoped for, questioning whether all your hustle is getting you anywhere. It’s exhausting and disheartening, and if you’ve been there, I get it. I’ve walked that road.
The turning point came when I stopped seeing my job as just a job and started treating it like a stepping stone. I began to actively invest in myself—taking courses, seeking mentors, and leaning into challenges that others might avoid. Every new role became an opportunity to refine my skills and expand my influence. Slowly at first, then in bounding leaps, my income grew. First, enough to comfortably pay off my student loans. Then enough to save and invest for my future. Eventually, I reached a point of such abundance I was investing more than I had made before tax early in my career.
Let me tell you, there’s a moment when you realize you’re no longer just working to survive. You’re building something that lasts. Today, I’m financially secure—not because I got lucky but because I made intentional choices to develop my career and grow my skills. Now, I can help others climb the same mountain.
