  1. How To Know if Being a Financial Advisor is Right for You

  2. Financial advisors are called by many names.

  3. You may have heard of designations such as financial advisor, financial planner, personal financial consultant, wealth management advisor and the seldom used term financial products sales person.

  4. These individuals earn their keep by helping people choose their investments, sort through their fiscal troubles, and work on their financial plans.

  5. These advisors also extend their services on matters relating to college funding, retirement planning, estate planning, and general investment analysis.

  6. If you are planning to undertake a career as a financial advisor, this article might be for you. Read on and see if you have what it takes to become one.

  7. Are you a social person? Do you enjoy the comfort of being with so many people? The core of the business as a financial advisor is having a broad social network.

  8. To thrive in this line of work, you need clients, and to do that, you have to build a strong customer base. Every person is a potential client; thus, you need to keep a keen eye and be mindful of this at all times.

  9. So how does one gather clients? Most experienced financial advisors would engage in a wide range of activities such as giving lectures or organizing seminars.

  10. It is through these social and professional contacts that you can start building on your customer base. Of course, you can also experiment on cold calling as well as asking for referrals from friends and family.

  11. Bear in mind that maintaining and expanding your social circle can contribute to the increase of your clients.

  12. What did you study in college? Your university major can play a huge factor in your employment as a financial consultant.

  13. Most banks and financial corporations look for graduates of finance or accounting-related courses.

  14. Having an extensive educational background in law, economics, mathematics, or business can also greatly improve your chances of being hired by these prospective employers.

  15. It should also be noted that many financial planners who have thrived in this profession have worked before as an accountant or auditor, lawyer, insurance sales agent, orsecurities sales specialist.

  16. To further excel in the profession, many of these advisors have also proceeded to broaden their knowledge by enrolling in courses that teach about investments, risk management, and taxes.

  17. Are you concerned that your educational background might not be sufficient to meet the minimum employment requirements set by most financial employers?

  18. Put those worries aside because educational programs relating to financial planning are widely offered by many universities and colleges.

  19. Generally you don’t need to have a license to engage in this line of work, but for financial advisors that deal with mutual funds, stocks, bonds, or insurance, a license may be required before they can operate in that line of work.

  20. To earn that license, one must take certain exams.

  21. According to statistics, 4 of 10 financial advisors run their own practice or operate their own firm; the others work for insurance or finance companies, brokers of securities and commodities, and investment firms.

  22. The Bureau of Labor Statistics also added that the number of financial planners is expected to increase due to the rise in investment among businesses and individuals.

  23. There is also a growing demand for their services as a result of the upsurge for retirement plans and the increasing number of baby boomers saving for their retirement.

  24. A better-educated and well-informed population owes its wealth to sound investment advice.

  25. Do you have what it takes to become a financial advisor and help people make good decisions with their money?
