    Not Fulfilled? Depressed? Maybe You Need An Alignment

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Hey @eliquid, Just wanted to check-in and give my preliminary bout of thanks to you and to this thread. There is so much I want to write about regarding my experiences with all of this so far --learning that I'm an INFP, a Type 4w3, and in general just more about what is meaningful to me (core...

    QUESTION: Should I stay or should I go?

    Good point. I just know there is a place somewhere in the paperwork I signed that mentions the prohibition of work outside the bank itself, but it's more specific towards getting a job at another financial institution. Also, using my "on the clock" time for personal financial gain. That being...

    QUESTION: Should I stay or should I go?

    To your point, I'm still very much in "I need an idea" mode, so I'm marrying that into the use of my time. Software development has been an on-again-off-again interest of mine since I was 15 years old (when I first saw my software developer brother open up the Terminal on my Macbook and type...

    QUESTION: Should I stay or should I go?

    Update: A business owner came through the drive-thru window at the bank today and I asked them about how their day had been and how business had been going. They mentioned it was going well, and then I just bluntly asked if they had any pain points (I literally said pain points) and they...

    QUESTION: Should I stay or should I go?

    Currently, no. And I realize now that I really should have included that in my initial post! The change wouldn't be happening immediately. It'd be later in the year. My question is more along the lines of whether or not leaving the line of business I'm currently in (client-facing as a teller...

    QUESTION: Should I stay or should I go?

    I have spoken with a couple of the bankers over their experiences in making the switch from teller to banker, but I haven't asked any questions with that purpose in mind. I'll make a note of that! Thanks for the reply, @Sheens!

    QUESTION: Should I stay or should I go?

    T That's a really good point! And yes, I do speak with business owners, even as a teller (for the aforementioned basic transactions). I'm going into to work today in a couple hours, so I challenge myself to uncover at least one data point/pain point for any of the business owners I get today...

    QUESTION: Should I stay or should I go?

    I'm hoping I chose the appropriate sub-forum to post this, so here it goes... For context: I'm currently working as a bilingual teller (English/Spanish) part-time at a bank in my area. I have 30+ 3-5 minute conversations with people from all walks of life at my window every time I'm at work...

    Hey there, @NMdad ! Thanks for the reply. I've noticed this in other intro threads, and I really appreciate seeing new people greeted here. It really does feel like a community :) I'm currently in "I need an idea(s)" mode, so my focus is on that. I've also been studying computer science and...

    Billionaire Ray Dalio: Meditation is ‘the single most important reason' for my success

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    What an awesome thread so far! I'd been vacillating between several articles, quotes, tips and tricks on an optimal mediation practice for some time and finally decided to pick up The Miracle of Mindfulness by Thich Nhat Hanh. While I must admit I'm definitely a novice when it comes to the...

    I've Read UNSCRIPTED!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I can gladly say I've read Unscripted! There are so many things that I'd want to quote here, but I'll go ahead and use this one: "Does selling five decades of youthful time so you can buy ten elderly years sound smart?". For me, this really encapsulates part of the heart of this book. To think...

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I'm just now jumping over here from having just posted my intro in that thread. I'm very happy to be here! And yes, I've read The Millionaire Fastlane. And "earthquake" book that shattered everything in the best way possible. A good chunk of its pages have notes scribbled all over in the margins.
