I always liked the idea of being a
business owner but wasn't sure how to go
about it i really like to have
conversations around what is suitable
for this person and not feel any
pressure to have to be pushing them
towards one product or another
I had in my head that is very numbers
oriented it's very much more solutions
based having meaningful conversations
with people about what's important to
them as an advertising person going to
businesses and introducing myself and
saying this is what I can do for you
I had about four years of practice to
build my Empire Jones business
even though I didn't know a lot about
the financial industry at the time the
study program was excellent
a lot of the training and support comes
from the other ever Jones offices right
around where you will be situated i'm
not in competition with the other edward
jones advisors in the area the culture
and community with Jones is just
unparalleled everyone is here to help
you and work towards your success in
addition to their own
having a boa to share the office with
and really be a team with an excellent
she helps me better serve our clients
because she's gonna follow up with them
with all of those service aspects of the
job which keeps me focused on doing what
I need to be doing which is reaching out
to my clients and prospects we set goals
together she helped set those goals
she helps drive me you know we're really
working as a team to accomplish a goal
the compensation that you take home is
totally and directly correlated to how
much effort you put into it work
autonomously there's no one telling you
when you have to work what you have to
do and you the paycheck did you learn is
the one that you deserve and the one
that you want really because they live
the earnings are really unlimited
FAA's whatever Jones get invited to
college graduations family saying you
know you were you helped us make this
possible
that's that's pretty cool to be involved
with such a critical level I think you
would be hard-pressed to find financial
advisors that care more about doing the
right thing for the clients just the
fact that we're a partnership makes a
ton of the bias and conflicts of
interests out of what we do the system
right way to run on business if you ask
me
