Honestly since I was 6 years old I have been saving, advising and investing. Right now the advising is on hold until I get licensed. My passion is helping people. I love to motivate, inform and work with people. Also I have an excellent offer from a partner that would be hard for anyone to turn down.

After real life experience in numerous industries I know my personality and skills are a good fit.

When I come on here I am upbeat and positive, but I do understand extreme challenging times await. This career has unlimited potential, but the failure rate is 9 out of 10.

As for investigating there is none. The decision has been made and I will make a move shortly.

Exec,

I like your upbeat attitude and enthusiasm a lot. Hope you take off like a rocket when you start production.

What part of the country are you located? Asking because you got a real good deal from the firm.

I have to agree that Exec has a great attitude. Since the majority of these posts are bashing exec, you're taking it really well. It don't think that it's right if you'd been advising people if you're not even licsensed. I don't want to judge you though. I am a newbie in the industry, but I am looking to start a sucessful career (like everyone else).

Thanks for the support. To me forum has really helped my development and maturity. Thank you for that.

As for advising I gave general common sense advice and that was in the past. One can point out common sense and give general advice. 

Things such as its smart to have an IRA since one in the 30% tax bracket makes about $1200 day one. Get maximum matching contribution from TSP. Look long term instead of going crazy by constant movement in the market. Be frugal and invest consistently. Set up a plan. Dont get cought up in the hype of .com or real estate. Rule of 72 and 7 years (real estate).

We all know most people spend 10 hours a week watching sports and soap operas, but only 10 seconds on their finances and future.

What you read here is what I am in real life. I have an optomistic childish enjoyment for life. For the most part I am an outspoken leader who is motivated to make a difference. If one does not like positive, optomistic people then they will not like me. On the other hand if one needs advice or help I am an excellent person to have on your side.

The bottom line is I have an inner desire to succeed and so far my plan is moving forward. This is not to say there has not been challenges. The journey is what makes the man or woman. So never stop dreaming and I will see you on the top!

Location mid size city on the east coast. When a big producer takes on a new rookie they need integrity. If the potential new guy has anything on his record or questions about his integrity this is not going to work. It's not worth the risk.

Where are you going with this? Is this just random babble. Have you taken your 7 yet? Do you have a test date?

Going to Europe for a month. Maybe I will spend 5 minutes studying. Wish me luck. Testing in January.
