With so many financial planner out there, how to really be the one who can make it and do well?

Best Answer:
Nothing succeeds like SUCCESS !! According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_planner "A Financial Planner or Personal Financial Planner is a practicing professional who helps people to deal with various personal financial issues through proper planning, which includes but is not limited to these major areas: cash flow management, education planning, retirement planning, investment planning, risk management and insurance planning, tax planning, estate planning and business succession planning. The clients should repose 100 % confidence in you, since you are dealing with their finance and its planning !!

As a financial services pro, I can tell you that it is not easy. It is still primarily a sales position and just now evolving into more. I suggest getting hired by a firm that recognizes planning as a comprehensive approach and encourages seeking certification as a CFP. Also as a financial services executive, I recommend checking out www.learntosucceed.biz. They can make the difference, sound career advice and they will answer your specific questions. Good Luck.
