Bulls and Bears. Sounds scary doesn’t it? You’ve likely heard of the stock market being bullish or bearish. So, what does that really mean? A bull market is favorable, where prices are going up and shares traded are high value. A bear market is the opposite, where the market is showing a lack of confidence and values drop. The trick to making a good investment is all in the timing. Buy low and sell high. This will give you a profit. Easy right? Unfortunately, investors are often emotional, and sell quickly in a bear market and buy in a bull …

Traditionally, we think of management as measuring an employee’s performance based on how well they execute tasks. Throughout my career, each position of leadership I’ve held has become increasingly complex. Makes sense, right?

I strongly believe that is because the ‘American Dream’ has changed drastically. Young women and men are no longer dreaming about only buying a house, starting a family, and …

“I’m convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.” – Charles R. Swindoll I feel that this quote set the foundation for my career with TitleMax® early on (thanks to my manager at the time, Dickson Sipemba!) What this means to me: be flexible and embrace change with an open and positive mind! Prior to working in the Dallas Corporate Office, I was a General Manager in the field. To say it was an adjustment is an understatement. I was so used to the everyday chaos that consumes a General Manager, that …

Asking a coworker or supervisor for honest feedback can sometimes be harder to navigate than it seems. Even when you decide “Okay, I am going to ask for some hard-hitting truth here,” and directly ask for it, the information you receive can be difficult to digest. When receiving negative feedback on my performance at the TMX Finance® Family of Companies, I know that whoever is giving me feedback wants me to get better and wants me to succeed. Sometimes I have an idea of where I could improve, and those suspicions are confirmed after simply asking for feedback. Other times, …
