Why Are Internships So Important? by Beth Braccio Hering

You're a recent college graduate with a killer cover letter, a stellar grade point average and glowing recommendations. 

But if one important item is missing from your résumé, good luck trying to get a position at The McTigue Financial Group in Chicago.

You need an internship.

This network office of Northwestern Mutual turns to its highly competitive internship program for new talent. Erika Milonas, director of campus recruitment, reviews more than 1,000 résumés in a given year and interviews 400-plus candidates to recruit 40 for McTigue's year-round internship program. 

The good news for those fortunate enough to earn a spot: One in four become a full-time financial representative after graduation.

​Internships and the economy

The hope of gaining an advantage for future employment has increased both the number and quality of internship applications. 

"Internships have become key in today's economy," says Melissa Benca, director of career services at Marymount Manhattan College in New York City. 

​"Graduating students with paid or unpaid internships on their résumé have a much better chance at landing a full-time position upon graduation. Students are doing internships as undergraduates, and it is now not unusual for recent grads to take an unpaid internship with hopes of turning it into a permanent position or at least making some contacts and building their résumé."

If you juggle a variety of projects every day, you’re in good company. We have LiquidPlanner customers who manage anywhere between 5 – 25 projects on any given day!

Business As Usual by Kasey Render

It’s currently 2:19 AM and I’m up writing a blog post in my notes on my iPhone 6s. I slept all day yesterday, not because I wanted to but because my body literally had to. Have you ever worked so hard for so long that your body and mind shuts down? Well that was what was starting to happen. I’ve been going non stop for years with small moments for rest or reflection. 

My life is starting to shape itself as my days are getting booked at a more frequent pace. The time for personal relaxation are slowly disappearing. I have to be here at this time, then there the next minute. I have to respond to this text while talking on the phone with this person. I have to update this website while posting that post. I have to keep a smile while feeling annoyed inside. 

I am blessed and grateful for my life and all of the great things that are happening but there’s a gift and a curse in this lifestyle. I am aware of my potential and how quickly life can turn around for the better. I also understand that it can turn for the worst even faster. This probably explains why my motor is as ramped up as it is. I don’t know if I’m chasing a dream or running away from a nightmare. 

My life is a constant battle for balance. My scales get tipped frequently as I desperately search for the middle. I get to live a life that millions dream of but I still don’t feel complete. A part of me still feels empty. I feel like a lonely soul. Of course everyone says they understand. Of course I have all of these supporters. But everything comes down to me and the effort I put out. I don’t survive if I stop. 

I’m sacrificing and working the equivalent of 7 overtimes a week so that I don’t have to live this life ever again. I drown myself in my dreams because reality is miserable. Society is silly. I’m not depressed or at least I don’t think I am but I am getting tired. I’m tired of being overlooked. I’m tired of struggling financially. I’m tired of people kindly lying behind “support”. People “support” the good or nice guys by saying they support. 

So many people want handouts. So many people will only wear your stuff if you give it to them for free. So many people will ignore what you say or write only to ask you for the same advice that was already openly given away because they “think” you are a meal ticket. I’m up because I can’t sleep. Part of it is because I slept all day yesterday and part is because I have to keep working and thinking of more ways to grow. 

I’m broke but I’m not poor. My mind is too rich to fall victim to the constraints of money. I’m struggling but I’m fighting. I will keep on striving for excellence. I represent too much to slow down...

Investing in yourself is one of the best return on investments you can have. Whether it’s investing in learning a new skill, developing yourself personally or professionally, tapping into your creativity or hiring a coach, you need to give to yourself first before you can give to others. It is our responsibility to take the time to develop our gifts and talents, so we can best serve others. Investing in yourself is an example of self-love, you must love yourself before you can expect others to love you. 

Why is investing in yourself so powerful?

Investing in yourself, sends a powerful message to yourself and the world. The message is: 
The value and potential that I possess, is important enough to me that I’m going to give it the energy, space and time to grow and create results.

When you’re willing to say yes, and take that leap of faith and invest in yourself, the universe will provide you with amazing rewards.

I would like to share some incredible ways that you can invest in yourself - the great news is they don’t all require money.

7 Clever Ways To Keep Getting Smarter Throughout Your Entire Life by Drake Baer

Coming up with original ideas — thinking outside the box, if you will — is hard to do, even for the highest-achieving among us. 

"Flash Boys" author Michael Lewis says that Ivy Leaguers flock to Wall Street because that's where they can become high-status and uber-rich without needing to think of anything new. 
If you, like the bankers Lewis calls out, need fresh ideas, turn to Quora. The discussion-heavy site has recently had a few threads loaded with insights on broadening your thinking. 

Here are the best tips. 

Start thinking about lateral thinking.
 "Lateral thinking is when an assumption that most people believe is true is challenged, leading to a new line of thought that would probably not have been considered otherwise," explains Anirudh Joshi. He suggests considering what folks thought about the PC when it first came out — a toy for geeks that wouldn't do anything helpful. But people who challenged that assumption and bet on the PC became legends: Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and the rest.
