Thanks Spencer!! Depends what you're optimizing for: Freedom or Security? Does your mind beat itself up more when you're forced into someone else's schedule, requirements and deadlines OR when you're not in control of your own progress and success? Going with a more experienced advisor is trading Freedom for Security. It will be much more stable, but you'll be sacrificing the ability to progress at the rate of your choosing and your ability to work on your own schedule. Building up your own book from scratch trades Security for Freedom. The first little bit will be extremely difficult and volatile. But you'll be able to go at your own pace, set your own schedule and 4-5 years down the road be the captain of your own ship. The second was better for me, but I completely respect the first option too. Everyone values different things.

Curious on your opinion, becoming a financial advisor at 30 years old… late to the party? Coming from accounting background

@JoshOlfertCFP

2 жыл бұрын

Its the opposite! I'm patiently waiting for my 30s for business to really boom. Typically most advisors find 80-90% of their clients are +/-10 years of their age. So when I started out my range was 9 years old to 29 years old. If your starting range is 20-40 that's much more feasible. I know many people who only started in their late 40s or 50s and still found massive success.

I have been working in real estate for the past 12 years in the province of Quebec and I am thinking of switching over to the financial industry, as I have completely lost the passion of real estate and I have been pondering about being a financial advisor for a better part of a decade now. Watching all of your videos, would you say there should be something more I should do, as a resident of Quebec (As our laws and what not are slightly different)?

You could still manage 401ks for clients with companies like Pontera.

I have a IRA annuity that gives me interest income on monthly basis, can the monthly income be converted to Roth by first rolling it over to ira rollover account(no tax on monthly income) and then converting(pay taxes) to Roth, it should be conversion not contribution. because contribution will have a limit of $6000/$7000 but conversion will not have any limit. Goal is to increase amount in Roth breaking the barrier of $6000/$7000. No where in google search some has asked this question.

Thanks for the video! I'm currently a business administration major and have been preparing for a few months to become a financial advisor (reading recommended books, trying to learn more about possible masters and learning as much as I can about finance), and I was wondering if there was any chance I could do my senior internship at Heaven.

In Canada we have what's called GRSPs. This is kind of the equivalent of a 401K in the states. Up here advisors can offer these to employers OR help clients transfer their group plan (GRSP, 401K) to their individual plan (RRSP, IRA) when the leave their employer. Not crystal clear on whether or not it works this way in the US.

No, thank you for yours!! I think at the end of the day you’re trying to build a deep sense of trust with people. So in that case the most underrated skill is sales - not the pressure used car salesman type of sales, but the “I’m going to see if you’re a good match for what I do, and IF YES I’m going to make it happen and keep you accountable because I’m the best person for the job” type of sales. So sales means: storytelling, being an active listener, the ability to match someone’s problem to a solution in a compelling way, getting things done on time, following up, reviewing and revisiting regularly. I did 18 months in car sales to prepare for this. It was way different but unbelievably helpful. Lastly, deep domain expertise in financial planning, investments, taxation, insurance and corporate structure - but that’s obvious. You combine the two and you’re golden.

Hey Josh! This is such an amazing video. I really enjoyed and benefited from it. Thank you! I have a financial planning degree and CSC certificate here in Ontario and I'm trying to get into the financial industry. Any advise or tips on what to expect or do/don't yes/no? Haha
