Anyone else ever feel insecure about their success? I come from a low income background, and never in my wildest dreams imagined I’d be where I am today. Often feel like I don’t deserve it.

Yes.

I try to “pay it forward” by giving money away or helping out when I can. I even tip drive through people, or the rank and file at the jiffy lube. Why? Because I could very easily be them, if not for a few good breaks and a few good role models in my life.

Don’t get me wrong.; I work hard. And I built my business the right way. But I’m not an ER nurse. I’m not a social worker. I’m not a special Ed teacher... these folks work way harder than I do every day and don’t make squat. Our job is an important one. And we make good money. But I believe we need to share it with others who work hard and might not be recognized for the contributions that they make.

The law of prosperity confirms that the more you give, the more you will receive. I’ve seen it happen in my life and I believe it. Or, maybe I’m just a hippy in a suit. Either way.. those are my two cents.

Add to that, I get invited to nice places, homes etc. My circle of friends has changed and I have to pinch myself. I practice gratitude and that has helped me overcome it. I never tell my sisters or cousins where I travel or where I’ve been as not to make them feel bad. Congrats to you. We deserve it. Out hard work has paid off. We got this. Hugs 👱🏻‍♀️

Had a very unpleasant experience with the entire interview process at Paytm. First of all they kept all three rounds in a single day . It started from the morning and ended up till the final round at late evenings. After all the rounds were cleared, the HR asked for the expected package, and when I gave him my quote which was just 35% more than my current CTC, he got reluctant and said we only have a budget of an X amount which was just 10% more than my current CTC. Who on earth does that..?

I'm a little confused on Danko - does he offer a self-study option for the coursework requirement?

Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?

TIA
