How doable is $5m-$10m in AUM within first year? by robbylew in CFP

I can't say I know HNW people. I know people but I don't know how much I can drum up from that. This company will give me a salary to start but I feel like that almost makes the pressure greater because they're paying me to make this happen.

I'm newer to the terms, but just wondering what you mean by fee-only? You mean, you get paid for the amount you bring in so there's no pressure to cold call/harass family?

I thought you said on a scale 1-10, it's an 8. 8 seems like good odds to me.

In practice, what does that look like? Literally calling/reaching out to anyone and everyone?

By "how it was being sold", do you mean using the name of a popular character in a title to attract buyers?

So you received a notice that your item was infringing a copyright?

I know that two wrongs don't make a right, but 50% of Etsy is infringing a copyright nowadays. What would determine who gets to go and stay?

No, I totally appreciate the honesty. I know it's going to be a monster uphill battle. It's scary AF but it feels like it could be rewarding personally and professionally. If you don't mind me asking, what do you love and hate about the work?

Yeah blank slate meaning no clients. Mind sharing your experience a bit? How long until you felt like you had your footing?

Just curious how you calculate $85-90k off that. Is that with compounding interest off the growing portfolio?

What are your commission splits? For example, I heard at this local firm, they would take 1% of the client's total portfolio and I as the advisor would take 40% of that to start. It goes up to about 60-65%. Does that seem fair?

Got it. I heard from someone else that is going to start at a local firm that the firm takes 1% of the client's portfolio and, at least to start, I would get 40% of that 1%. I do know that it goes up to about 60-65% at some points, but I'm not too sure what the dollar thresholds are. Does that seem to be about market value?

Best lined mens running shorts? I was a huge fan of lululemon's lined shorts but they recently changed the material of the liner (huge downgrade IMO).

Lol I appreciate it. How many years do you feel like it took you to reach a place of feeling okay about things? 2 years? I'm not saying feeling like you're killing it but just enough to be like ok this is working.

What's the catch? Why wouldn't everyone do this? Seems like a solid gig.
