A securities industry veteran explains why the Series 26 license is essential for becoming a Regional Vice President, then shares how he set a goal to earn a million dollars before 30 and hit it. He argues that precise, measurable targets matter more than the milestone itself.
Number 3, I would have got fully securities license faster. You know, I was able to get my securities license, I was 24 years old, but I didn't get my 26 license since I was, till I was about, I'm sorry, I got my securities license when I was about 21 years old, but I didn't get my 26 license all the way till I was 26. And I believe the reason that RVPs don't promote RVPs is because they don't have a Series 26 license, right? And that's just the truth. And you know, I come here, I came here to, you know, I didn't come here to make a million dollars, you know. I always said, hey, look, by the way, I had a goal. I used to say, you know, I'm gonna be, I'm gonna make a million dollars before I'm 30, before I'm 30, right? I'm gonna do it. And I did that, but I forgot to put in there make over a million dollars a year, right? So be very specific in your goals, you know. But truthfully, it's like, well, we hit the million or not, it's not a big deal.
