My "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" Experience

Описание: If you've been following the YouTube Channel at all, you know that Rich Dad, Poor Dad had a huge impact on my life.

📕 It was by far one of the most influential books I've read.

But one thing I dind't relaize when I read the book was that it was acutally a foreshadow of what would happen in my own life.

With my own Rich Dad and my own Poor Dad. 👨‍👨‍👦

I just want to share some of my journey with you today.

🎓 I was a financial major in college and became a financial advisor. It started with an internship in a local investment firm, which turned into a part-time job, which then turned into a full-time position.

I started out part time by cold calling and finding people for a top producer in the firm. I was supposed to make calls and find leads that he could close. What ended up happening was I was making the calls, finding the leads, and then closing the deal.

📅 After about a year of this he came to me and told me what a great job I was doing. However, he didn't really need someone to close the leads for him, just find them. He offered me two options for a new postion:

➡️ Option 1 - I could become his Administrative Assistant with a guaranteed salary (12K more than I was currently making).

➡️ Option 2 - Become a Jr. Financial Advisor and find and close my own leads. This position did not have a guaranteed salary as I would only earn based on the deals I closed.

He gave me the weekend to think about it.

🤔 I had a big decision to make!

I decided I need to make a couple of calls. One to my real dad and one to my step dad.

My real dad, who had always worked hard for not a lot of money, advised me to take Option 1 - with a guaranteed salary.

My step dad, who always had a lot of money - but I never really knew what he did, advised me to take Option 2.

He said "Jeff, it sounds like you have already been doing this for a while. You've proven that you can do it and you enjoy it."

While both offered good, sound advice. I decided to go with Option 2 - because I knew I could do it and be successful. It also felt like the best career decision for me.
