This week’s guest is Jonathon Jay - Associate Director level Financial Planner at Investec Wealth. Jonathon is a prime example of how ambition, hard work, self-belief and a clearly defined goal can propel your financial planning career forward within a short space of time. Jonathon didn’t leave school with the greatest of A-Levels and didn’t go to University. However, this didn’t stop him from achieving his Level 4 DipFA within 7 months and Chartered by the age of 26. Yet again, proving that your school grades do not define your future. Jonathon takes us on a career journey from an Administrator role in Dubai to Trainee Paraplanner for a small boutique firm in the UK to eventually becoming a Director level Financial Planner with Investec at the age of 29. In this podcast we cover: · Why you shouldn’t dismiss trainee paraplanning as a route to becoming a financial planner. · How to self-promote and take control of your career development. · How humility and stripping away entitlement is key to a fulfilling and rewarding career as a financial planner. · What to expect from an HNW financial planner career and why being a Chartered financial planner is a must. · The benefit of attending over 100 Client meetings before giving any advice as a financial planner. Loads of great stuff covered and a must listen to anyone looking to progress their financial planning career or interested i becoming a financial planner or trainee paraplanner.
