How many of you are planning to return back to the office? And how many folks are happy with WFH/Flexible Work Arrangements and would like to continue doing so?
**We are looking for bloggers:** I started blogging back in 2013, and my only regret was that I didn't get started earlier. Blogging is a great way to crystalize your ideas, network, and open yourself up to new opportunities. If you would like to write posts for the SVIC blog([svinvestorsclub.com/blogs/](svinvestorsclub.com/blogs/)) about investing, career development, or personal development, reach out to me with your idea and if it's a fit for SVIC, I can work with you to make your blog post a reality. Ping me on Facebook or send me an email at Jordan@svinestorsclub.com if you're interested.
