Yeah, so right now I'm a financial adviser in Lynchburg, Virginia, And then I also have, like any other entrepreneur, some other things on the side that I'm trying to do. So I built a woodworking business, and I also help manage some rental properties involved with. And they also do some cleaning services for an Airbnb also, So I'm trying to do a couple of different things right now. Well, I think that's pretty important. Um, some kind. I think it's important to have diversification in your income, even if it's smaller pieces. And they end up to be smaller across the board as a financial advisor and learned not to put all your eggs in one basket. So I don't know why would now practice that same thing with something as important as my income. So I've just been trying to, I guess, diversify my income streams as of late. And I guess my story that that's pushing on that path was never really having one specific passion. I've always liked doing a bunch of different things. So little is I've always envisioned myself being able to do multiple different things now that I'm finding myself in a position where I am doing multiple things. I think that that has been been very helpful for my development. Um, no, I was a I was an athlete on my life, so being able to react quickly on my feet and switching from different topics and decisions has always been important to me.
the responsibilities and decisions over the same. So I'll do that burst. The responsibilities are acting in the best interest of my client's first and foremost and then from there, um, maintaining smart decisions for them, keeping up with what's going on in the market and in the world. And now that's going to effect my clients really and then regular communicating with them and also making sure that their and investments that bit what they're trying to do with their life. Some people come in and say they're really aggressive, really aggressive, really aggressive. But then they tell you about their bowls and in reality that we need to be very aggressive to get there. They can be a little more conservative and helping people navigate kind of what they think, and then how it lines up with what's really going on with their financial situation. And so that's I do. A lot of that is kind of where I baseline story, everything is to look after the client and give them the best advice and opportunities and thinking they could have. And then in terms of all my my day to day looks like now in terms of travel and working from home. I'm pretty much entirely work from home. My client base is is fortunately for for Mia's in building my business and very busy. And so, since they're very busy during the work hours, I actually end up working different hours. I worked usually more, uh, at night and first thing in the morning before they're really getting into the office. I might have some calls. We're not have claws after work, but a lot of them were essential workers right now. So as there are Fighting Cove, it kind of on the front lines. I guess you know that they're busy enough with work. And so I have touch pieces with an actor. But really, it's just been it's been mostly virtual and been kind of working from home. I've allowed it's allowed me to really build out some of those other income streams, which expecting is vitally important year. And while I do myself with a financial advisor as my career, um, I think the most important advice I would give anybody is find an opportunity for whatever their work they're looking for. Find that opportunity so that they have the opportunities to search for other things. Um, you know, I think that just for example, you know, I think investment banking is an incredible career, and you can do a lot of great things with that. I chose the more. I chose the private well throughout instead of the investment banking route because of the amount of time that it would give me to do other things. And that was important to me. I'm not one track minded. I don't do a good job of focusing on one specific thing like being just defending so adviser 100 hours a week. Well, I wanted to have some other things coming in, so I would just say it's, you know, it's important to to figure out what's wanna work best for you as a person and then go from there and don't do what what everyone else is saying that you're supposed to do
depth, and it does a great job of of giving me pretty important information in a way that's fairly easy to understand. And so that's the main thing. And then I also use a lot of financial planning, software and insurance planning software and state planning software. And I'm talking to different people in my home office about ways that I can better use those approaches toe help my clients at different points, you know, So depending on what the client is, and with their life cycles vary a lot of in the title off software and models that I'm using for them. It's mostly financial planning base, so that once we create a financial plan, we can create and we get to baseline for everyone, operates to that client and help them moving forward. We have this baseline, okay, these are your goals. Let's make sure we're getting in there, and then once we have the goals identified, then we can branch out and use different models and algorithms to help him get there. Um, but it kind of starts that financial plan as our key piece there where we go moving forward
