Show Notes
We're excited to have XYPN member Lamar Watson, owner of Dream Financial planning, a fee-only firm out of Reston, VA, on the show today.
Lamar started his career in this industry before he even went to college! He was an avid follower of the stock market and reader of Warren Buffet. While he was in college, he secured an internship at a diverse Scottrade branch where he received valuable insight, training, and mentorship in the financial services industry. Lamar walks us through his career from how he pitched himself in an interview before he even graduated from college to how he climbed the ranks and finally to how and why he decided to open his own RIA. Lamar talks about what it was like to move from a steady high-paying job to working one-on-one with his ideal types of clients—the newbies who have never worked with a financial planner before.
If you want to learn about what it's like to work your way up through this industry and then launch your dream firm, this show is for you.
