Every advisor who begins this journey, they struggle with confidence early on. So how did you push through that?
Confidence for me really hasn't been an issue in the past, just based on my previous career. You know, you go through a lot of adversity and you have to persevere a lot through challenging times. And that right there will help build your confidence. Once you have an understanding and a good grasp on what you're trying to understand and teach people, You know, your confidence will slowly build over time. It wasn't the confidence bit, it was just the lack of knowledge to being able to pass that on to people. But once I got a grip on that and I was coached through and given all the proper resources to bring myself up to that level, I was able to tap into my life experience and confidence that I already have and then communicate that in an effective way to help people achieve what they want to financially as well.
