Lorin Williams – Financial Planner
In his late age, Lauren Williams set a goal to attend college, to receive his title and become a financial planner. He reached his goal and is currently running his own financial business, but it did not happen, as expected. Becoming the fastest woman in the world (2005 Winning the 100-meter-run world championships) and winning medals in the summer and winter Olympics have never been planned.
“When I was probably 19, I couldn’t imagine being a professional athlete. One thing that my parents were injected in me. Thus, although the light of athletics took me to many places, I didn’t know that another way, except for education, could give me what I wanted. Even when I was offered a college scholarship, I saw it as something that would give me a free education. Actually has never been A: I want to deal with a light athletics because I want to deal with the light of athletics. It was like this was a way to get me the education I wanted because education would be the key to what I wanted to do.
“I liked the competition aspect. I liked the experience of being the best, but in reality I hadn’t actually taken into the Olympics like others. I really didn’t see its way. Professional sport was really not in my radar until the junior year of college, when I ran the world’s second fastest time. Many Halabalou talked about it, for example, who is this little young girl who just ran so fast? He is now the fastest American this year for the Olympic year. At that time, it turned out that I could submit the US team at the Olympics. “
When in 2004? In June, he ran to 10.97 to win at NCAA in Austin, Texas, his life changed. “On a night. It’s fun how the Lord works is not. It happened overnight. The last night I lay down to sleep only by the NCAA title, hoping that I would run a little faster than my main rival, Muna Lee, who was my opponent throughout my childhood. I won the NCAA title and spent the second fastest time of the year in the world. And it was like the first to reach the finish line, but it opened a whole new world, a whole new doors and completely changed my life on that day. “
In one night he left a typical student, a lack of money, driving his words, “Old Machine on the Last Feet.” Shoe companies suddenly knocked on his door. He decided to sign a contract with Nike to refuse college right. You had to choose one or another in those days, but he graduated his degree, remembering the parent’s counsel that he needs a college title to prosper. He wrote in the contract that Nike would pay for the last semester of the school he had to finish. On a night, as he says, “From one day to another, you’re a kind of broken college student, just bring to the end, do you everything to compete in your sport. Now I have to make good decisions with the means provided to me. ” He needed a financial planner to help him. He did well, buying a house and a new car.
He graduated from his scientific degree and MBA and worked professionally from 2004 to 2013. He started his financial business based on his own athlete experience. Adapted to what I needed as a young and athlete. And I felt that we deserved something better. The more I started learning about the finances, the more I realized that I didn’t know what was going on in my financial world. Then I started asking my friends and realized that I was not the only one who didn’t know. Athletes gangs and gangs work money, but it’s so short window that you earn a good field in Athletics. But most people only have Career 2-3 years. “
In the second article, he remembers some of his great tribes.
