What does developing people mean to you?

Stay in consulting long enough and you won't have a choice. That's a big component that I've leveraged in order to climb up. Everyone is so self absorbed it's easy to miss coaching opportunities among peers and subordinates. Plus, you can make some good friends in the process. People development is a facet that matters more than any dumb alphabet soup of certifications, only exceeded by sales credit.

New to investing. I want to open a Roth IRA and put 3000$ in to buy VTSAX. My plan after that is to contribute 200- 300$ at the end of each month. Is that how you guys do it? Do you watch the market and buy on a specific day when the market is low or do you just pick a day of the month- lets say every 30th day of the month to add to your acct? Thanks
