I'm new to the forum here and this is my first post.  Ive spent a while lurking all the threads and have found some good value (and comedy!) out of a lot of the content here.  Thank you to everyone that helps support this channel and I look forward to learning from you all. 

Here's a short background on myself:  Im a rural EJ advisor in the midwest, roughly 11 months post can sell. I'm loving the process thus far, and look forward to learning from you all.  Any help is appreciated.

Thank you!

Just keep trusting the process and keep your head down. You'll be just fine. 

I know a thing or two about how to build a business at Jones.

what's your 40 time?

What is your "Go to Mutual Fund??"

What's your AUM? How's it going so far? How did you end up at Jones?

Do you have an office? If so, do you have a picture of Ted on your wall?

Lastly, what are your pronouns?

1: 40 time - I once drank 2 of them taped to my hands in 3 minutes in college, but I'm out of shape now so I am probably a 6 minute guy for one. 

2: Pronouns - I preferred to be referred to as "The Man", and if you refuse you're violating my rights and practicing hate speech. 

3:  Political Quadrant - It's a spectrum, my views can't be placed into 1 "quadrant", how dare you.  

So far it's going great, I've always wanted to be an advisor and am loving it.  Love making new friends and helping people out every day. 

Ended up at Jones being recruited by an existing FA, I was in a different career prior.

I am in a "legacy office", and yes there is a picture of Ted.

Pronouns answered in prior post 

Is Ted's horse in the picture as well? 

Thanks for the question and have fun roasting!

Hold up. They gave you $10M with zero experience... and then you brought in $15M in your first 18 months on the job?

What were you doing beforehand?

How have you been finding clients?

Hahah I love it. That's great.

FYI. Press the "Quote" button when replying. This board was designed in the 90's. It takes some adjusting to.

How would describe someone when they're acting like 'a Karen"?

Also, because with identifying as The Man. You may find yourself with a one way ticket to the Chorus when the hall monitor finds out.

Ya the GK was roughly 10m, zero experience and I actually brought in 15m in 11 mos.  I just looked at my original post and I have no idea why I put 18 months Post can serve, my 1 year anniversary is next month.  I did Finance at a local auto dealer for the past 5ish years, was in college before that.  Finding clients through existing personal network, door knocking, asking for referrals, and working the goodknight really hard.  

  THIS is what happens when you trust the process boys & girls and others.  

Well done!  The weather is warming up.  Time to get out there and knock on some doors!

You are gonna fit it just right.  

Edit.  Don’t ever say can serve.   Just a word of advice.

Maybe Sun will fit in just right with you, for me I need more info. 

I dont blame you a bit.  Beth Dutton wouldnt trust anyone after just a couple of forum posts either, so how can we expect you to?

They/them had me at taping 40s to their hands.  Sounds like a Chico thing to do.  

Agree 

In newdude's honor I'm going to quote above the quote for awhile. I hope this guy stays at least until he gets fired for being White.

Dont assume my gender and dont assume my race

A story far too long for this thread 

Isn’t a Sunpiper an airplane?

That would be a Piper Cub

Not gonna lie, the comment about chugging 40s that were ducktaped to your hands had me assuming you are a man. Also the comment where your preferred pronoun is . . . “The Man.” If I’ve misgendered you, I offer my sincere apologies.

Thanks

Hahahaha. I Was definitely just joking, you hit the nail on the head   

Ya, there are definitely some things that were beneficial. 

Ya don't be too quick to assume.  We used to call this "edward 40 hands" in college.  We would do it with a partner.  The one between you both of you shared and it was a competition.  I always tried to get the hottest chick to be my partner.  good times.... 

Can't believe you fell for this. 

Come on. The guy was a used car salesman. 

Finally a black chick for me!

I preferred the “3/5ths compromise”. Handcuff three people together until the finish a 1/5th of vodka. 

Each person has a fifth?  Or 3 people combined drink 1 fifth?  

If it's the latter, that's super weak.  

When I talked with them, I was bringing assets with me and they seem weren't giving me shit. 

They probably looked at your YouTube history and thought this fucker is high risk.
