As a self-employed professional I periodically reach a stage where I examine my client list and ask myself what on earth am I doing with these people? Do they take my advice seriously? Who do they listen to?
If they listen to commission salespeople who refer to themselves as Financial Advisers, I realize that I am working for a fool.
Being older and wiser, I do not suffer fools gladly. A person who is dumb enough to think that a commission salesperson is looking out for their best interests is too dumb to be on my client list. Time to perform my favourite activity that being my own boss allows me to do. Time to perform a cull.
My advice to people is simple, debt is a chain that enslaves a person. Get out of debt as fast as possible and gain control of your life. The financial Adviser on the other hand tells my client to take on debt to by shoddy investments and generate big commissions for the Financial Adviser. What is most disgusting is how almost every Financial Adviser claims to be smarter than Warren Buffet.
Today I make the phone call to people who have asked me to talk to their Financial Advisers. I will be telling them that I don't need their money and there is no place for them any longer on my client list. Time to rid myself of the 10% that are responsible for 90% of my headaches.
Madame Guillotine, it is time to sing your sweet song again. Whoooooooshhhhh
