Hi,
I'm a career changer looking forward to life as an FA. This will be the second major career change in my life - first going from social services into education, and now from education into a position as a financial advisor.
I understand that getting started is really tough, and many people drop out before they see any real success. Not being in that small group who make it work, is not something I'm willing to consider or accept. I'm hoping all the experts among you, will share your tips and tricks for success, so I can learn from you.

At least you know what it's like to live without any money. That's a good start. I just hope you're wired to actually want to make money, as that is the next challenge for you to overcome.

Yeah that's an excellent point. I was used to living like a broke college student when I started out . That's a big reason I was able to make it those first couple years.

That's all it takes. You can learn and become polished along the way if that's true
