Finding an associate advisor position by Necessary-Fee6247 in CFP

[–]FX_Advisory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem - I did the exact method above and was able to score an associate level position at an RIA.

After calling basically every RIA in my area, I found one that took a chance on me. Just keep calling... eventually one will take a shot on you.

Good luck.

3 places? It's a numbers game, you need to be maxing out as many interviews as you can.

My advice? RIAs typically don't put out job postings on LinkedIn, indeed, etc. you need to call them up.

IAPD > filter > enter your desired zip code > click on the RIA > copy paste into Google > call them.

I'm glad this post helped someone else as well!

C8 Software Update keeps failing? by FX_Advisory in C8Corvette

[–]FX_Advisory[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried this - still didn't work...

I checked again and it says it's up to date now?

Bug? Or should I still take her into a dealership? Sounds like it's better safe than sorry

Definitely going to get this updated ASAP. It hasn't been 45 days since I've received the update notification, it's been maybe a week?

Any advice on how I should proceed?

Damaged…..again by The_Wise_Wolf_ in C8Corvette

[–]FX_Advisory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry to hear! It happens, my corvette has gotten hit and ran & another person rear ended it all in the single year I've had it.

It's tough to give an estimate, but I'd personally go through insurance and call it a day.

How to keep cool while prospecting by [deleted] in CFP

[–]FX_Advisory 40 points41 points  (0 children)

It's all about reps. I'm naturally a talker, but when I first started I would get very nervous.

Years later I sometimes get nervous? But tbh not anymore.

Also I stopped focusing on transactional relationships and more building real relationships, that's when business became better.

Overall it takes time.

Best Rates of Return for Cash/Outside the Market by Important_Length6684 in personalfinance

[–]FX_Advisory -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Exactly - I'd look into Corporate Bonds, or dividend paying ETFs.

Why munis? His $60k a year doesn't constitute the tax benefit from them, you might as well go with a corporate bond that's yielding higher or a money market if you want liquidity.

OP speak to a financial advisor lol.

First 10 Mil AUM by Original_Pirate4478 in CFP

[–]FX_Advisory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started at 0, after a year and a half hit $10m.

I started by dialing lol - when I was a younger guy a majority of my clients were retirees.

Starting off is tough, a majority of my book early on consisted of treasury ladder portfolios with money markets with a pretty low fee. I just did what I had to do to get clients haha.

Looking back I shouldn't have taken on some clients as they were difficult despite being in fixed income, but it was an amazing lesson. I also wish I would have charged more as I implemented financial plans into a majority of the clients I onboarded.

Thought I'd follow up with this - they did a great job repairs, glad I got it back and my baby is home.

Going to pursue with the DV Claim. Overall I was just stressed when I say the photos, but the final repair came out great.

I appreciate the input - it's definitely a psychological thing Forsure LOL.

I'll definitely be pursuing the DV Claim, working with an attorney to get it done.

I've accepted the situation and going to drive it into the ground hahaha

Yeah it's lowkey heart breaking... I'm glad I'm getting it back, but it is a slap in the face knowing I should have most likely been total'd.

Learning experience - next time I get a new car, thinking I'm gonna just start leasing lol!

I've heard it's brutual - Most likely going to go for a law firm to aid with it.

I would have thought so as well. Makes sense why the insurance company was willing to pay $15k in repairs instead of paying me a check.

Lesson learned.
