@umbdude Woah! Someone agreed with me on YouTube! haha! I think the main thing is finding a way to be your own boss…but to never lose the feeling of responsibility towards your employees (if you have employees). It’s ok to make money, but you should share it with the ppl who help you make it. Easy to say, but not always easy to follow through with, right?
The advice sounds good at first, but truly, how many college grads are like Lauren, who knows with 100% certainty what she wants to do with her life? Most are just exploring the fields and sometimes stumbled upon paths they hadn’t imagined but end up liking it.
So unless you have a real passion for something and can’t picture doing anything else, take whatever pays the bills as long as you know that you won’t absolutely hate it. In some cases, you’ll actually end up enjoying the job.

Yeah I do agree…it’s really not just about merits and working hard. I’ve seen so many super smart people working hours and hours only to be taken for granted. And when they leave, the boss simply said, “anyone is replaceable” and there’re tons of people waiting in line to work that 60-70 hours week. At the same time, incompetent folks who know how to kiss ass and talk rise up the corporate ladder.
She comes across as a mainstream, corporate lawyer. Does she look like an average person to you? No, of course not. Look at her outfit here, that was not bought at Target or Walmart ! The average people are the audience, not Suze.
@lilseggy I totally agree. Employers these days are greedy bastards; the only reason to work hard is when it’s for yourself, or it benefits you directly.
Ok, I call bullshit on this clip. Yes, those concepts worked 20-30 years ago, but these days, work harder for less and your boss will enjoy sticking it to you. Everyone wants more for less…it affects that “bottom line.” I’d say the only way this advice would work, is if you work for someone who actually has a soul and rewards hard work, etc. Otherwise, you’re the #1 douche, while everyone else is getting ahead, not by meritt, but by schmoozing middle and upper management.
@lilseggy she said good USES..not necessarily good debt. she was emphasizing the importance of financial maturity. that you only buy things that you need, not excessively squander on the things you want.
i thought it was a bad thing not to ask for a raise when you really deserve it? i think working at a company past the scheduled hours is “poor time management”… im so confused right now…
@lilseggy what she’s trying to say is that the asset here is yourself, so you’re paying on food and gas for your living. develop this asset to increase it’s value, by gaining respect and experience in the shoe industry. also, i believe that before you can set up your own shoe company, you need experience working in a shoe company first. jumping into an area you’ve never ventured before is really risky and that is a bad investment. also remember, she DOES NOT want to be a toy designer
If this lady follows her OWN advice she cant be RICH. Buying Gas and food is a good use of credit cards???????? Come on! buying consumer goods on credit will keep people broke. The only thing she is right about is that there is a such thing as good debt! However, she don’t know what it is. she suggest that $10,000 worth of credit card debt spent groceries and gas is good debt? She cant be serious….Good debt is using your credit card to by some Asset that will bring you more money.
Foolish Advice! She should have taking the $65,000 a year a job saved up her money & started her own shoe company! Rather then slaving 7am-8pm for another company, a company which she could NEVER own. I would have told the young lady to take the $65,000 a year job work her 9am – 5pm at that company during the day. and at night work on developing her own shoe company 6pm -10pm….And grow that Shoe company until its able to support her full time. If ur going to work hard, work hard for yourself!
Please read her new book2011 “The Money Class” everything has changed since she made this video in 2009. The advice she would give today would likely be to take the $65K job and be glad it hasn’t been out sourced. Her advice keeps up to date with the changing financial complexion of the day. Don’t go by outdated sources like this one.

I just don’t trust this Orman woman here.
She comes across as a mainstream, corporate lawyer. Does she look like an average person to you? No, of course not. Look at her outfit here, that was not bought at Target or Walmart ! The average people are the audience, not Suze.
@r8448
of course, she will be looking out for No# 1. She is just another filthy rich, financial guru to the adoring, unwashed masses.
I think she gets her 65k $ in one evening telling feel-good stories.
I totally agree with this clip, once you decide Its about money, you lose perspective of your goals.
@lilseggy I totally agree. Employers these days are greedy bastards; the only reason to work hard is when it’s for yourself, or it benefits you directly.

whats the difference between shoe designing and toy designing?
i thought it was a bad thing not to ask for a raise when you really deserve it? i think working at a company past the scheduled hours is “poor time management”… im so confused right now…
WTF !!!!!!!!!!!!!

i understand.

@dangolf1890 Not like she didn’t earn it..
g-d her teeth are so white…i bet that was money well spent (roll eyes)
Every time I see Suze Ormon, I can’t help but ask my self one very important question more important than all the financial questions in the world.
“Would I tap that ass like a champ and make her cum benjamins?”
Suze is a lesbo who is full of sheet.
@alfie008 yeah you got that right…i think she is all bullshit…i wouldnt spend a dime to listen to her fuckin ass!!!!
