Greetings

Now that I’ve seen responses elsewhere to my posts, I sense I’m not welcome.

The good news is that my friend was correct, and I did receive good advice here for my original questions. Thank you to those that took the time to speak with me. I do not take your time for granted. But I will take my leave.

If any of you live nearby, I am open to coffee or lunch. My email is Yahoo with this name as my handle. I enjoy fellowship and friendship.

I'm sorry to see you go.

The downside to this place is that some guys have a tendency towards running off people who would be helpful. Instead, we end up rehashing the same old discussions over and over.

I like this place and I'm sticking around but I do wish that we would take it a bit easier on new members. When was the last time we had a new member that actually stuck around, particularly one that actually contributes?

Most haven’t shared this much info and they’ve been here for years. You’ve been on a few days and you have shared the following - you have a massive practice, your income, a coulple philosophical rants, “alternative” religious beliefs, and my fav is people who talk negative here become invisible to you or something like that. All this while using words that are clearly above my EJ pay grade

We are suspicious you’re bullshitting us if that’s not obvious. A few of us want you to be real. I can’t wait for the juicy stuff if this is just “waiving hello.”

Stick around. You definitely offer a unique perspective

Perhaps that's because you walked into the room wearing a goat's head mask with a pentagram tattooed on your chest while waving your hand with fingernails painted black and sharpened to points.

When you shared your alternative...beliefs, can't really call them religious, it was easily the most interesting intro we've ever had here. Couple that with the screen name and our quick Google search for Left Hand Path and we're here thinking you're some kind of nut job.

Did you say yourself that you have learned that it turns a lot of people off when you share your beliefs with them? Did you expect it to be any different here?

FWIW, we'd all love to discuss your business. If you are in fact who you say you are, you're probably the top producing member of the forum. You'd obviously have many things to share. We could use some fresh ideas and insights from someone who isn't a rookie.

I figured this was you dicking around.

SinisterSister, excellent recommendation of The Million Dollar Financial Advisor. At your recommendation i decided to check it out just today from the library. I'm halfway through already and its an excellent read

That book is terrible. It seems like it is written by a sales manager that failed in production. Just a bunch of ideas of where to prospect.

I don't understand if you are doing 2mm in production why you would any to read a book that would make you just a million dollar producer....

Then you have not read it. Mullen trained hundreds of Merrill Lynch advisors.

That book uses a dozen of them as case studies, with business between $3 and $15 million, and assets between $500 million and $4 billion. I relate well with some of them.
