T-B-C Turns One & FPA Uni Student of the Year Finalist!!
What a way to celebrate the first year of blogging and starting Take Back Control, by getting told that I made the top 3 in the inaugural award of Financial Planning Associations “University Student of the Year!”
You could imagine the surprise I was feeling when I got the call, it started off with myself wondering “who was calling me on a Friday morning?”
Other than my mother or wife, no one calls me during work hours, so I thought about just leaving it, but I just felt like I should pick it up. I am glad I did, because the next thing I know, I am getting told…
“Congratulations, you are a finalist for the FPA university student of the year!”
I was a little dumbfounded at first, and a bit unsure, but as the conversation continued, it started to hit me. The main thing that I felt when it hit me was how grateful I am to being recognised as a finalist. Being acknowledged for all the extra work that I put in and the passion I have for the Financial Planning profession, it is a rewarding feeling.
Of course, a lot of people have spent a heap of time with me, talking to me about the financial planning profession and teaching me what I needed to know to get me to where I am right now. The acceleration in my growth is all thanks to each and every Financial Planner who took time out of their day to talk to me over the last two years, to all the industry professionals and mentors who have made it their mission to see me improve, all of this and more led me to applying for the university student of the year award,
I couldn’t list all of you here, but you know who you are, so thank you for spending the most precious commodity we have on this planet, your time, to nurture my growth.
Now, the plan was to write about the previous year and to write about some of the most read blogs of the year, but the news caught me off guard and I just had to share it with you guys. As my loyal reader’s and to anyone looking to Take Back Control of your Life-Health-Wealth, you can make it happen, you can become better and take back control.
All you need to do is change a few behaviours, set some goals and dream big, really big…
There is more to it than just that, but its a great starting point, so I will leave you with that and link you to one of my favourite articles I wrote very early on, based on how you can start to dream big yourself, and also a link to the most viewed blog article I wrote as well.
