Make It

Friday, June 8, 2019

When we were first designing this site we looked to other sites that had the spirit and themes of what we thought we wanted to convey. This included:

• Financial advice
• Inspiration
• Educational tools
• Mentors
• Successful people
• Retirement and stock advice
• People that were living good lives
• Innovators
• Creativity
• People that thought out of the box
• And people that didn’t follow the typical mold

We think CNBC’s Make It platform is a great site for money makers and entrepreneurs, older people and millennials alike. We recommend reading the articles and looking at all the information to get informed on thought processes and thought patterns and how people handle adversity and other difficult situations. They say that you are the sum of the top ten people you surround yourself with or the people that you hang around the most and so if your circle of influence is such that you don’t normally get to hang around a lot of smart inspirational, motivational people, this gives you a great resource to improve your outlook and business savvy.

Their site gives success tips, ways to make money including side hustles, showcases other successful people you can learn and emulate, young successful business individuals, how to make sure you’re earning and spending your money right, saving advice, and getting out of debt. Other advice includes getting a good job and landing a great career by pleasing your boss or if you’re so inclined how to have your own business and be the boss. There is also great advice for various other topics like food, technology, travel, books, culture, health and other success videos.

Sometimes you might get tips on saving money through deals as well as trending topics like lottery and interest rates or hip entrepreneurs like Elon Musk and Richard Branson.

You can ask questions and also check out their newsletter. It really is a great resource for people to stay on top of the latest trends in the business world. When you pair it with another site like CNBC (it’s parent company) which gives you daily access to stocks quotes, bond prices, indexes, currencies, commodities and digital currencies you really have a great combination for success.

Often the news includes a lot of stories of unfortunate events or tragedy and so it is nice to see a site that can help people starting their second stage of life on how to be successful, make their careers work and get ahead in life and stay successful.

Another area of life is not just money but also life skills, and how to be an upright outstanding person which you can glean from the people featured on the site. However it’s not just one thing to have a lot of money. You also have to be health and happy. Your body is not easily replaceable and so having the ability to stay healthy is crucial to a good long happy life.

Travel is another way to showcase success because of the ability to learn more about the world around you and also expand your horizons in various customs and also just a way to refresh one’s outlook in life.

And another section that is sometimes featured is good fast, top of the line cars with the latest tech because of the prestige and social status associate with the vehicles and also the ingenuity behind it.
