Constantly evaluate the things that drive profit, with Rob Berger.
Episode 159
Rob Berger has practiced law since 1992 — and then in 2007 — he started a personal finance and investing blog. It was more of a hobby than a business — but — over the next several years, however, it turned into a business. By 2009, he was making a full-time living, and by 2010 he was making more from his blog than practicing law. Today, Rob runs DoughRoller.net and AllCards.com. He also writes for Forbes, U.S. News, and The Huffington Post.
