The financial planning profession is a wonderful, much-needed one -- but for far too long, there hasn't been much direction or advice for next generation talent interested in pursuing a financial planning career. There aren't widely-available answers to the tough questions about how to start or get your foot in the door as an advisor who really cares about financial planning for clients they care about. Resources are scarce and it's not always easy to find a mentor to help understand how to break into the profession and succeed in the industry.With So You Want to Be a Financial Planner, Nancy Langdon Jones covers just about every angle of the topic that anyone looking to enter this industry will want to get familiar with. Nancy provides answers, ideas, and solutions for people eager to start down this career track, and gives countless resources to follow up on when you're ready to ask more advanced questions and dive deep into complicated topics like starting your own firm.This is a must-read for anyone considering a career change, looking to transition to financial planning from another position within the financial industry, or currently pursuing higher education in financial planning. I'm excited Nancy has put together this comprehensive guide -- it gives future financial planners the excellent start they need to succeed.
This is THE guide if you're thinking about switching career fields to becoming a Financial Planner. I personally bought this book about 2 editions ago and continue to get the updated versions. Since purchasing, I have completed nearly all the coursework for my CFP certification and right now I'm in the process of getting registered with the state to start my own RIA. It's been a long journey but Nancy's book has given me honest and clear guidance every step of the way. Even after 2 years of having this guide, just last week I brought it back out to get some help on a subject I needed help with. As someone who has a library of books on entering and being successful in this field, I can say you will not get a more honest, kind author in Nancy Langdon Jones to help you get started with your journey.
Fabulous objective view of the Financial Planning business. Wished I would have found it years ago... and saved myself a lot of trial and error.
