This video does a good job in highlighting the stats behind what we know to be true - most Americans do a poor job in managing personal finances.
In Welcome to the Big Leagues, I address the very important area of Economic Wellbeing and provide tips on how to secure yours. Working in the corporate world allows you to make big money, but what good is it if you don't know how to keep it? The problem is that many of us are financially illiterate and this handicap leads to greater troubles down the road. Debt is stress and is considered by many to be the be the nastiest four letter word of all. Acquire too much debt and it will consume you. Living beyond your means, spending frivolously and making risky investments are surefire ways to self-destruct. I have watched poor financial management destroy marriages, families, businesses and the core values of individuals. Don't ever think for one moment that this crisis is beyond you. In order to be prepared, you must develop a winning strategy.

"Carmine identifies the critical components that are necessary to live, survive and succeed in the corporate world. He does so in a manner that parallels the world of baseball and adds a dash of humor along the way. He is right on the mark and hits home as I relate back to the early part of my career. The corporate world is a very competitive environment that can be loaded with stress, ill feelings towards others as well as being a very unhealthy place to be. It is only those who understand how to identify roadblocks and how to handle them who thrive in such settings. In his book, Carmine has done an excellent job in highlighting all of this and giving some great advice to the corporate rookie, but I will also say that it is a refreshing read for us veterans that have been through it. I found that I was very entertained and recommend it to all."
