The Facts of Life

Let me tell you something, starting off in the career of a Financial Adviser is not an easy thing. It takes a lot of work, and doesn't really pay a lot. I basically knock on doors over and over and over, then I call people and try to encourage them to invest with my company. It is a slow process that takes a lot of faith and confidence that the system works. So far I have had one big success, and I look forward to the next one. The big thing I think is to keep going and keep doing what it is that I am doing.
That being said I like the ability that I have to help people out, lots of folks say "Looks like you picked the wrong time to start in the business". I think thats very interesting, to me now is the best time to start. People don't need a financial adviser when you can randomly pick a stock and make sick cash, no they need a financial adviser when times are tough and the decisions are difficult. Its like going to the Dr. when you're healthy, yeah its probably a good idea but its hard to find time, but when you get cancer it may be a good idea to talk to the doc. People have lots of questions and I try to answer them as best as I can, hopefully these people will remember my good will and will eventually do some business with me :)
So there you go, a slightly longer post than my last one, its a hard knock life as a FA ( as we are called in the biz) but I will soon be making too much money to count, or at least $20, which is really not too much to count. Well, we won't worry about that for right now. Peace out and have a nice evening, morning afternoon or next year.

I should be working right now.

Hey, I ought to be working right now. I know this because it is true. So this post will be short. But I have not posted since I had a mere 23 days left of work in the active duty Army. I am not yet in the reserves, because the Army is stupid. So I am working for Edward Jones, Jacob can refer to himself in the third person, and Smokey is still alive, though she has lost some weight. Rebecca was working at a Children's mental place, now she is working at the VA- as of today that is. So there you go, I will not post a picture today, but another western has been released "Appaloosa", and I liked it. Hey, I gotta go.
