Mid Life Changes?

July 6th, 2024

Going back to my roots?

Ripping the bandaid off?

At 38 - I’ve decided to make a life altering change…

I graduated from college 16 years ago with a degree that gave me access to an industry that (at that time) gave me little to no opportunities for success - so instead of waiting around I went immediately into a job that was right in front of me - beer sales.

I then spent the next 13 to 14 years focused on trying to move on and up in the only industry I knew.

After COVID, I was tapped out, so I took a gamble and left…only to find another industry that was similar enough to where I felt comfortable. Now, 2 years into that industry and I’ve found myself at a crossroads once more. 

16 years of B2B sales, 16 years of working thru multiple companies but facing the same challenges and hurdles, 16 years of never really feeling that this was my endgame.

So, months ago I looked myself in the mirror and told myself that I have to take control - if I really wanted the future I dreamt of for my family…things had to change. The change I needed wasn’t just going to come from another version or form of the same job I’ve had over the years….it would have to come with drastic change.

So, what can I do? What skills do I have? What sets me apart?

I had to look into my past…

That degree 16 years ago was personal financial planning.

I had to look into my track record….

My years of talking and selling. 

My years of self marketing. 

My years of having difficult conversations. 

My years of social involvement. 

Helps me look into my future….

As of July, I’ve started running my financial planning practice for Northwestern Mutual. This decision has been months in the making and I feel like this is the best and most appropriate time for me to make this change.

I have new motivations, a new drive, I have different life habits, bigger goals…

38 year old Kyle is obviously a drastically different human being than 21 year old Kyle but he’s also very different than 30 year old and even a more improved version of 35 year old Kyle.

This is a big move. It’s the right move and I can’t wait to bring you all on this journey with me.

I plan on bringing you all on this journey. Focusing on the human, emotional, personal aspect of this business.
