📢 An Inspiring Journey into Financial Advice! I recently had the privilege of interviewing Emmanuel Asuquo - 'Eman' for Future Financial Adviser, and his story is one to remember. Eman's journey showcases how determination and transferable skills can shape a remarkable career. Growing up as a young black man in East London, inspired by the gleaming towers of Canary Wharf, Eman was determined to change his path. He began in retail, physically working in Canary Wharf, where he discovered his passion for engaging with people and helping others. The people skills he developed enabled him to transition to a cashier role at a bank, where he later transitioned into financial advice at just 22 years old. Fast forward 15 years, and Eman is a successful financial adviser, author, and financial educator, sharing his knowledge and inspiring others. Whether you're exploring a career in financial advice or just looking for an uplifting story of perseverance and growth, this interview is a must-watch. Head to the Future Financial Adviser website to watch the full video and hear Eman's incredible journey first-hand. 🚀 https://lnkd.in/e6pGNbmj #FinancialAdvice #Inspiration #CareerJourney #FutureFinancialAdviser St. James's Place Financial Adviser Academy Money Marketing Piers Johnson

12 days of career change: Day 11🎅 As you face into a career change, the opportunity for growth means that you have a chance to let go of things that have been weighing you down. 🎄Just like Christmas decorations, some things just need to be put away: 1. Responsibilities/ burdens from your old job 2. Pressure from a previous manager 3. Imposter syndrome 4. Negative self-talk 5. Turning down opportunities because they're out of your comfort zone 6. Not committing to networking 7. Ignoring personal development or learning opportunities 8. Putting off getting that qualification 9. The 'what if's' of opportunities you could've taken 10. Letting your past define your future 11. Being closed-minded about your potential Remember, your growth is limited by your perception of what is possible! ⭐ #12DaysOfCareerChange #SJPAcademy #12DaysOfChristmas
