I’ll be honest, this title or new job that I recently obtained has its fair share of stigma. I get this feeling most believe I’m here to scam their money away. Hmm I don’t know I sure hope I’m wrong, but the walls built are thick and tall.
Anyways I’ve strategised to take a step back, and recalibrate on how to share about this valuable path that I believe is super basic, and severely essential, for every individual to partake in.
Because of how valuable my service is, I’m only going to share it with those who would like to put in the effort to at least be open enough to listen.
So right now if trust is the problem, I’d be the friend; yes as a financial advisor but I’m allowing myself to understand the people I meet, their background, their current struggles and what their aspirations are. This makes it simpler for me to assess if they are in fact in the right state of mind and place to be ready to find ways where they can grow and change.
My message is simple - it’s all mindset. It’s all awareness - Its whether the person knows how our current times have changed from our parents’, and how our kids will be facing tougher challenges than us, financially or otherwise. Because discipline, consistency and perseverance is lacking, yet most want to see change and see them quick. I’m going to now focus on those whose eyes are wide open to the changes, and embracing them with a readiness to learn ways to get better. These people may be rare, but these people are those worth helping.
So all these people I’ve been meeting, I’m planting seeds. They do know what I offer, and if they are ready they’d have asked for more.
And right now, I’m loving this stage I’m at. I get to be myself and be a friend and a listening ear. And I get to see this world through the lens of people from different lifestyle and different walks of life. It’s both humbling, and fulfilling to do so. I’m right where I want to be, alhamdulillah.
