He turns it around. "Oh, it just says ____ Bank Finance Division."
"So, are you in finance?"
"I've been a financial planner for over 30 years. I started at ____ Bank, but then moved on to greener pastures."
I asked him what it takes to be a good financial planner.
"Here's the thing. Like in every business, there are people who work hard at what they do, and they make a lot of money. There are people who are just okay, and they do all right. There are people to don't work hard, and they get out of the business...fast. In the beginning, you make mistakes, and you lose your clients a lot money. But after about three months, you either learn or quit."
Work hard, do well. Just work, do okay. Don't try, quit. Pretty simple.
This is so true. Business (and life!) is all about changing, learning and adapting. If you can't do these things you won't survive.
