What am I doing wrong?

Actually its just over $220 and I have one month to go. I'm hoping to hit $250k. It's not front end loaded and I do all the trades myself. I've not even finished year two and already have just under 2/3 of your entire book LOL. Year 3 goal is $40k wrapped and $400k gross. At the pace I'm going now I'll probably up that. The little dog syndrome you display in just the few posts you've made makes you appear anything but impressive. Hell, you wrote in another one of your sympering vagina tirades that ..."After I left the branch manager told other FA's and sales assistants I was "lazy"" He he he he he he ho ho ho ho. Do you want to beat me up too? BUT you are damned funny!!!!! grumpy grumble grumble. Was it an event or more of a process that's made you such an angry little fella?Triple me? So you assume that grossing 200K one year proves lifetime success? I have seen guys like you come and go. Grossing 200K does not mean much to me, especially if its front loaded business. So you think you will keep building and I will not grow? Or is your math that poor? I doubt you will have a 90 million fee based book at 5 years. My guess is that you live in some hodunk town in the middle of the south, not a whole lot of potential, and a pretty pathetic life. Excuse me while I go hit the beach of SoCal.
LA Polesmoker, please explain how you built a $30mm book in one year. Also, what is so frustrating about building a book when you’re doing $300,000 in fees, just by showing up on January 1? How is it that “you are starting out” and experiencing “up and down pay” when your gross goes from zero to $300,000 in one year? Where is the down part?
You are a f***ing liar.

Alice,
I wrote this earlier in this thread ..."The two surest signs of a weakling on a BBS are tough guy talk and complaining about somebodies sentence structure...yawn" This is very true it means they have nothing, a dead give away. I guess this moron fits the model perfectly. I think that post was more about a small pair of stones when it comes to making calls and prospecting than variable paychecks.LA jackass - change your name before you come back. Zero credibility after Alice found your dumbass post. Try and stay a little consistent with your lies next time.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaahahahahahahaahahaahahahahahahaaaaaa
Man, I need a cigarette and I don't even smoke.LA jackass - change your name before you come back. Zero credibility after Alice found your dumbass post. Try and stay a little consistent with your lies next time.

Owned, and owned.
No answer - he must still be at the SoCal beaches charging little girls $30 to braid their hair. Either that or he’s waxing the surfboards of the guys in his firm that do actually produce.

He’s a CFP. There’s no way he could close for a $30 braid order. Even when he shows the kid a computer enhanced image of what she would look like with braids.

Waxing it is then!
Why is it hard to believe he brought in $30mm in 4 years? That's only $7.5/year. It's a hell of a lot easier to sell fee based than commish business. Clients will pay a fee as long as their is valued added, doesn't always come down to performance. I do all fee based, only commish is fixed income and annuities. Must be hard to get a new client to pay an upfront load of 2 - 4%.[quote=LA Broker]Gaddock, I don’t even know what you were trying to say. Learn how to write a complete sentence rookie. If you are finishing your second year you are not even in my league buddy. I have my MBA, CFP, built a fee based book on my own to 30 million and have not reached the age of 28, I don’t need your advice. I was not trying to be an internet “tough guy”, though I thought that was pretty clever. Alice Cooper was ripping on some poor girl who was looking for serious career advice. You do not need to call her fat or ugly, he could probably never get a girl half as good and I have never met or seen her. I have no idea what Alice Coopers qualifications are but I do know the guy is a jerk. If he showed that side to his clients they would quickly fire him. I have not seen one positive, constructive comment from him on this forum. I read this forum because I want to keep learning from some of the vets with good ideas, not a fool like Cooper, I can get that trash talking from any ESPN forum. If you someone wants to give a piker a hard time, I think its funny, but when you cross the line with personal comments from somebody who is just trying to improve that is going to far.[/quote]
Let’s do some math…Assume that you got your undergrad at 21. Assuming that you weren’t required to have work experience before you started grad school, you got your mba at age 23. Furthermore, assume that you started working toward cfp immediately, and consider the 3 year work requirement, you are minted a cfp at age 26. You claim to have raised $30mm over a 4 year period, during a bear market, when people don’t want to pay fees to lose money.
I think you’re full of sh*t. Stop lying.
What is hard to believe? I went to night school to complete my MBA while working, I self studied for the CFP, I have been in the business over 6 years now. I have been building a new book for the past two years, switch firms for a better deal and a few established accounts. I know this does not happen in hodunk edward jones towns but in Los Angeles people have big money and you can build quickly when you close business because everyone has 1 million or more in my area. Yeah, before I switch firms I looked at the idea of buying a book, so have a lot of guys but took this deal instead and it has worked out.
Again, this is not about me, this was about Alice Cooper making smart comments to every post I have read. When you started calling that girl fat and ugly, I said something because nobody else did. I don't have anything to prove to Gaddock and I won't post any more comments to him. Everyone can agree 2 years does not prove anything in this business. I don't think my 6 years have proven anything yet, but I have been in this longer than Gaddock. Until you are consistently putting up 600K gross in this business your job is not safe, I am not there yet but getting closer.[quote=LA Broker]

1) Again, this is not about me, 2) I don't have anything to prove to Gaddock and I won't post any more comments to him. [/quote] 1) True, since you have been turned out as a liar and a poser, I would agree. 2) You sure were posting like it did tough guy. Turns out you're the coward I thought. Did I hurt your fragile little feelings? Pretty pathetic dude, but then, we already knew that. You said I wasn't in the same league as you... THANK GOD FOR THAT!! Does LA stand for; Lil Artificial Broker? LOLI am in very wealthy area, a small 2 bedroom house costs more than 2 million, small 2 bedroom condos start at 750k, so in many ways almost everyone has a million and most have that or more in investable cash. The toughest part is the competition. Unlike the midewest, we have CFP’s, CFA’s, private banks at every corner. Only thing we lack are Jones offices because rent is so high and nobody would take them serious door knocking the spanish maids.
So what you’re saying is that even IF you were telling the truth about your AUM/production/career in general (which, you aren’t), you’d STILL be pretty much a relative failure in your area. That about right?[/quote][quote=LA Broker]I am in very wealthy area, a small 2 bedroom house costs more than 2 million, small 2 bedroom condos start at 750k, so in many ways almost everyone has a million and most have that or more in investable cash.
