Bet On Yourself. Invest In Yourself. Welcome to the episode 5 of the 2nd season of “WE WERE ON A BREAK” - Ross Voice. The series where the host, Stephen Brent Sargeant (Compliance Consultant to Bitfinex) talks to industry professionals during the CoronaVirus (COVID-19) quarantine and gains industry insights and expertise. My inbox is flooded with professionals (especially those in AML and Compliance) that feel stuck in their career. They aren’t getting the career opportunities that they hoped for or they are struggling to find jobs or earn a substantial income. In this episode, I explain why investing in my ideas and personal and professional development coaching has exponentially grew my career and increased my happiness. For those that wish to know the secret to my success, feel free to check out my Professional / Personal Development Coach (Hina Khan - https://www.hinakhan.ca/) and my body composition coach (Jase Stevens - http://www.manthefup.com/). If you aren’t earning the money that you want, not living the life you had aspired for or are waking up every day frustrated, this is a must listen. **This interview was recorded on March 15, 2021 **Disclaimer The views and opinions expressed in this episode (and all episodes) are those of the host and the guests.
