BILL DALLAS
“What is the difference between the wealthy people and average people?” Bill Dallas said. He added, “Investment.” Bill Dallas is the chairman and CEO of Skyline Financial Corp and is best known for building First Franklin into Wall Street. He visited Oaks Christian School to give students advices as a successful serial entrepreneur. Since his advice was targeted to high school students who are interested in entrepreneurship, he started off explaining how to succeed and exhibit full potential of leadership.
Means and Meanings were the first thing that he explained about business. He emphasized to students to always keep in mind to have meanings behind all of our actions. The purpose and meaning for certain actions and decisions matter in the direction one entrepreneur will pave through. This meaningful passion of an entrepreneur then requires some thoughts of ways, or meaning, to pursue one’s dream. The means of pursuing something is as significant as the meaning behind one’s passion.
He then tells us to ask ourselves “what do you love? What do you dominate? And how do you make money?” While thinking the monetary value that I will make, it must be something that I can win over to dominate the industry or market and most importantly, what I am truly passionate about. It is important to discover a way to create pecuniary benefits of myself to save and later invest. Bill Dallas strongly insists that “if one cannot save money, he or she can never be a rich. Also if one does not know how to invest to grow and manipulate the monetary value, he or she can never be successful.”
“It is always important not to mix up the order of your life,” Bill Dallas said. As Dallas explains, there is clearly a path of life that won’t ruin my dreams and future life. From high school, he tells us to attend college, then find a job, marry after thirty-years-old, and have kids. If the order is mixed, he said a person will play catch-up entire life. Attending college is important because humans will always need to learn, and college education becomes the first step into real society that gives base and foundation of following steps of life. Marrying early would be a disaster because one will not be able save money and will barely make a living out of limited salary. Until thirty-years-old, whatever one’s dream is, he or she should safely plan out and save some money for future investments to expand wealth.
He tells us to become an entrepreneur who are humble and consistently learn. Do what you love, do what you can dominate, do what you will earn the most.
