What a great video, it made me smile as I can relate to the providers phone calls.

Thank you 🙌. It's a never-ending struggle!

Im on my journey so really appreciate this

Thanks for providing the first video of what a financial advisor actually does. So sick of the videos stating "day in the life of a financial advisor" and then just show themselves waking up and and eating.

Wow finally a direct video which isn’t a video of walking and eating also loved the phone part 😂

Thank you! 🙌 That's exactly what I was aiming for as in being helpful and only marginally self-indulgent! 🙃 Appreciate you watching.

Brilliant video thanks George! 👍 it’s great to see some of the day to day stuff and personally I’d love to see more of this sort of thing. Thanks for taking the time to make it despite being so busy. I have recently passed my R01 exam so this content is very well timed. Oh and I drive a hairdressers car as well! 😂👍

😂😂 thanks. Originally this type of content worked well for the YT algorithm. It does not seem to like it now! I will try and walk the line between personal finance, pensions and financial adviser stuff. 👍 Appreciate the support 🙌

Thanks for another excellent video. Keep up the good work.

This is an outstanding video, really paints a clear picture about what to expect day to day while being down to earth and not taking yourself too seriously. Really, thank you very much. For the qualifications is there someone you recommend for the training online? I'm not the best sit down and read a book person and react much better to audio and videos with a person talking etc

Thank you! Grateful for you watching and your support. I used Expert Pensions for my AF exams who do both study days and video learning. I know the CII do paid training days but I never used them. Hear they were ok (not brilliant, but ok.) I also used Brand FT for some tests which can be useful, unsure if they do face to face. Beyond that, the majority was learning on the job and studying in my own time. I'm sure there are lots of other in-person routes that I will have not mentioned there though. Wish you all the best with your studies.

First time discovering this channel and look forward to finding some more content 👌 I’m studying for CeMAP and have been wanting to get into financial services for a while. Had some experience as an Admin but the repor with my colleagues let me down so decided to leave finish my studying and go back into it. In the long term I’d love to do more advanced financial planning 👍 subscribed

Thank you for sharing your experience. It is very useful for people like me who have just obtained the DipFA diploma and want to learn more about the profession. It is interesting that everybody mentions the lack of Financial Advisors and that nearly 50% of the current advisors will retire in the next 5 years. However, it is very difficult to find the right opportunity. It is kind of a contradiction. Do you have any advice on how to get a foot in the industry?

Hi, thanks for watching. For me I've always wanted to be an independent adviser and I feel some of the restricted larger firms offer more sales-type roles where you are there mainly to plug their funds, which are often quite expensive. So not for me. I do however fully appreciate that many have to start somewhere and there's nothing wrong with these roles. On my website link I address some of the issues in trying to find the right firm which may be very challenging at the start of your journey. All the best, George

Whats the average yearly income from each client?

That question doesn't make any sense. What are you trying to understand?

@@PrinciplesPersonalFinance Each of your client pays a AUM fee, which is a income. I'm trying to ascertain what a realistic figure is based on industry benchmarks for the income received per client and income received per year operating as a Financial Advisor. So e.g. self employed FA year 1 =x, 20 clients. FA year 2=, x, 35 clients. Etc.

are you employed or self employed?
