A lot of people are surprised to find out that when I resigned from teaching 2 years ago, I didn't make money from writing or blogging yet.
So, they think it's an awfully brave thing to do, quit a well paying job without a back up job. But it wasn't a brave move. It was hardly a blind leap of faith! (I am not that crazy!)
I would never have done it if I didn't have good financial planning. I had enough liquid funds to survive at least a year very comfortably if I didn't have any income at all. And this gave me the reassurance that I could focus on my passion for a year and try to make it work.
And I am so glad I did, everything is working out now and I am happy.
I cannot imagine myself back in a rigid job. It's just not me.
A lot of people see Financial Consultants as persistent salesmen trying to push you to buy plans. Of course there are such low-lifes out there (they are in every profession). It's important to find a consultant whom you trust and is competent... don't let those few rotten eggs put you off financial planning.
Ok.. before I digress further...today's post is about a career in Financial Consultancy. So if you're looking for a new career or a part time job to earn extra income, today's post is for YOU.
- There are excellent career advancement opportunities where good performance will be rewarded with promotions, thus allowing recruitment of people and generation of passive income streams
- Top 20% of sales force will also be rewarded with overseas incentive trips which include places such as Europe, America, and Japan
This is a career that will take you places.

D-GUY.
Of course I earn money through blogging and writing.. it's my Full Time Job now!
What tht line meant was - 2 years ago, when I quit teaching, I wasn't earning $ Through blogging yet. but I was still able to qui teaching because of proper financial planning which allowed me to make sure I had cash on hand to surive in case following my passion and blogging didn't work out after a year.
But It did work out afterall.
[sorry, i thought It was clear in my post. didn't mean to mislead anyone!]
But hey it's really good to know ya doing well. Ive always liked stories about following one's passion, it's indeed motivating n inspiring.
(and there's no need to apologise!)
Am very glad ur following ur dreams too. I wish u all the best!
