I must have the most boring-sounding job in the world. Financial planner — what a snoozer.
Some of my friends have really interesting-sounding jobs: veterinarian, airline pilot, architect,
contractor, writer, executive, entrepreneur, school principal, charter boat captain.
I even know a rapper now, although I'd be lying if I said we were friends, I've only
talked to the guy one time -- but it's an interesting-sounding job, don't you think?
And a good buddy of mine just landed a job taking care of a barn full of 16 horses, that
sounds like a lot of fun. But financial planner on the other hand? I
don't know, it sure sounds dull. But when somebody asks me what I do I have to tell
the truth, I can't say that I'm a veterinarian or a charter boat captain or an architect.
But what IS a financial planner? Well if it's done right, it's really a lot of different
jobs, and actually they're all pretty interesting. A financial planner IS an architect — we
help people design their futures, which is at least as important as designing buildings.
I'm an entrepreneur, an organizational leader, a therapist
(yeah, definitely a therapist), a coach, a cheerleader, philosopher, teacher, writer, public speaker-- video producer.
In fact, I'm kind of an advertising executive too. I guess I must be pretty good at
it — I just made you sit through a commercial for me.
That's it for now. If you or someone you know needs a— a therapist, a coach, a
cheerleader, a teacher — or an architect — please drop me an email or give us a call
here at Millard & Company. Thanks for watching, have a great day, and we'll see you next time.
