Detroit, who taught him about
building and maintaining rela-
tionships, and his former rabbi in
Baltimore from whom he obtained
a rabbinical degree.
Paley also suggests having assets
set up to provide a rainy day fund
until things get moving. Describing
an entrepreneur as someone who
"bites off more than they can chew,
and only then figures out how to
chew it" — he says a good busi-
ness plan is essential, and then
you've got to "figure out the angles?'
Finding a mentor in your business
is also important, and he's grate-
ful that a colleague at Wilshire
Financial Group in Troy has
assumed that role.
Finally, "Have no fear and be
enthusiastic about what you want
to do. Energy and motivation is the
key:' he says. One trick he uses is
to wear a Mickey Mouse watch to
remind him of family and why he is
working so hard.
Paley recognizes that people are
nervous about the current state of
the economy and financial regula-
tions, but he says regulation is
pretty intense," especially after the
debacle of the Enron bankruptcy in
2001.
And decisions have to be made:
"Life goes on. You can't stuff your
money in a mattress."
So Paley is working hard to build
on his success. He's got more than
200 clients, just completed his MBA
and admits that besides work and
family "right now I really don't have
a life."
His plan is to devote three years
of hard work to get things off the
ground and build a successful
financial services practice. "You've
got to create a foundation," he says.
He's busy building. El
