Dominique Smith, UncommonGoods Operations Administrator<\/em><\/p>\n

My hometown\u2026<\/strong>
\nI was born and raised in Brooklyn and then lived in the Poconos<\/a> for 5 years, then came back. Guess I couldn\u2019t stay away.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m inspired by\u2026<\/strong>
\nMusic and other people\u2019s personal experiences. I find motivation and loads of inspiration by hearing people tell stories about their life. Mostly rich people talk about obstacles they\u2019ve overcome. I always watch interviews and documentaries to learn more about people overall.<\/p>\n

The word or phrase that best describes me\u2026 <\/strong>
\nDifferent! I\u2019m a little bit of a lot. Awkward, inspirational, ambitious, unfiltered, humble, creative, mature, focused, etc. Most people compare me to other people my age (22) and stare at me in disbelief when I describe the things that I have done and want to do in my life. \u201cYou\u2019re so different!\u201d is what I hear the most. I\u2019m sure it\u2019s a good thing as that\u2019s usually followed up with how advanced I seem in comparison. I don\u2019t consider myself advanced; I\u2019d rather describe that as focused.<\/p>\n

When I\u2019m not working, I\u2019m\u2026 <\/strong>
\nAlways working, lol. When I\u2019m not working at UG, I\u2019m planning out how I\u2019m going to take over the world. Or at least how I\u2019m getting my first million dollars!!<\/p>\n

What is something you always wanted to be able to do?<\/strong>
\nI can do anything. If I really want to do it, I have plans in the works to get it done. If I only kinda sorta want to do it, I\u2019m not going to do it. I only move with passion and purpose.<\/p>\n

If I could learn to do one thing perfectly, it would be\u2026<\/strong>
\nHow to analyze stocks in order to make a living off it. Doesn\u2019t seem to be anything better than waking up in the morning, sitting at your computer in your plush loft in Miami with a bowl of cereal and trading stocks making thousands or dollars in a day over the course of a few hours. Solely my opinion.<\/p>\n

The best luck I\u2019ve had in my life so far was\u2026<\/strong>
\nI don\u2019t really believe in luck; however, some pretty awesome things happen to me sometimes. For example, a few months ago I went to a real estate workshop. The teacher was trying to teach us how important having a mentor is. At one point he asked a question and no one knew the answer, so I asked one of the guys they designated as mentors to help us. When I related his answer to the teacher, he handed me a $100 bill. The same thing happened the next day. $200 for doing nothing!<\/p>\n

If I could meet anyone, living or not, I would choose\u2026<\/strong>
\nBill Gates or Warren Buffet. Whichever one had about an hour of knowledge to give me. That\u2019d be the longest, most exciting hour of my life!!<\/p>\n

An uncommon fact about me\u2026<\/strong>
\nI want to be able to retire by the age of 35. I won\u2019t actually retire. I\u2019m just saying I want to be able to at that age, and then travel the world as a motivational speaker. I have 13 years to do it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
