Erin joins me today to share why you need a will and a powers of attorney. Erin highlights the traits she believes lead to success and the importance of focusing on networking and your personal brand. She reveals why it is vital to make a will and assign a powers of attorney and why you should create a document of your intentions, including intentions for your digital footprint and pets. Erin also shares why being young is the best time to take risks with your career and finances.
“If you pass away without a will, the government has a series of rules that govern how they distribute your stuff and it probably wouldn’t match what you want.” - Erin Bury
