INTRO
After a three year hiatus from the Wealth Management industry, I am done having fun and ready to get back to work. This will be somewhat of a journal filled with calculated success and missteps. As of today, I am quite far from the starting line. The idea is to check off all the appropriate boxes to enter into production either Q1 or Q2 next year (2012)...some (many, many, many...) tasks will need to be completed prior to this. Being at the true epicenter, I have very little to report, however, my intention with this journal is to catalog all that I encounter along the way from the planning of the business, to the logistics of compliance, licensing, prospecting, staffing, custodian selection, etc.
My experiences will provide some comedy in hindsight, as well as a foundation for others that may have similar desires to start, or transition to a Registered Investment Advisor business model. Please be patient, as I am not a professional writer, nor have I ever kept a journal on a consistent basis.
A few details about me:
30 yr old male.
4 years experience at a wirehouse.
Currently unlicensed. Pursuing CFP and Series 65.
More details will surface along the way...
