Bumping this thread...

Since the thread started I am still at the restaurant, will be going to UIC. I also let the finance firm pay for all my licensing (life, health, series 6, 63, and they will sponsor me in getting a Series 7 as well). After that I think i want to get into the stock brokerage side of it and away from the insurance.

I think I'm in a decent position getting my 7 since guys in this thread recommended getting over to a brokerage. I read the catch 22 with getting into a brokerage is you need a Series 7 to get in, but you need to get in to get sponsored for a Series 7. So I'm already getting sponsored and hopefully that will open a few doors.

My question is now, does anyone know people on the Sales side that sell a huge variety of things. For example I'm thinking of getting my real estate broker license as well as maybe even taking over my Grandfathers tax book (he's 75 and ready to get out of it, really only works a month or two out of the year.. retired besides for that, and its a decent book).

My question is would it be impossible to juggle all that or could it possibly be lucrative (considering I have a huge network to tell me I can help them out with insurance, mutual funds, individual stocks, tax, or even help them in the real estate market)? My gut tells me it would be pretty hard to juggle all of that to near impossible, I was just wondering if anyone knew of anyone who does anything similar?

I absolutely love the numbers side of it, competitive, and I feel I have the gut to be a trader but I also feel my best trait is being a salesman, i'm great with people and a hell of a networker. Looking for advice on what you guys think I should do?

Cliff Notes

  • Possible to juggle a variety of sales roles as a representative, insurance, mutual funds, annuities can all kind of be tied into one, also handle individual stocks, real estate, and tax work?

  • Whats your advice for me? great at math.. always tested top of charts, have had decent luck trading my own account albeit with not a ton of capital and not really trading more buying and holding, huge network for college kid and lucky enough to meet a ton of successful, wealthy people, business execs, and politicians (smooth enough and not shy at all where i been lucky enough to go hangout with some of theses guys as well), and last trait is I feel I'm a pretty good salesman.
