ABOUT MIKE BISSETT
Honestly, I would say the path that led me to the Financial Services Industry was a bit.unconventional. I think most Financial Advisors have some kind of economics or business background. I got here following a 16 year radio career.I remember when my career in radio came to an end. I had just spent my entire working life being a witty smart ass and didn\'t think those skill would transfer to anything else. It wasn\'t until I started in Financial Services that I realized radio taught me a lot more than how to add the odd \"zinger\" to a conversation (though, I\'m VERY good at that). Over those years, I was developing my listening skills (ironic when a lot of your job is talking). I was also learning how to relate complex topics in ways that make sense and shows you why they\'re important. I\'d be remise if I didn\'t mention the work ethic radio breeds. It\'s common to get used to working long days.Those three skills are huge advantages in the Financial Services Industry. If someone can\'t listen to you intently enough to understand your needs and goals, how can they give you accurate/applicable recommendations? It\'s not about showing you what Life Insurance is; it\'s about showing you why Life Insurance makes sense in your financial plan. I don\'t just show you the investment, I show you why that specific investment gets you to where you need to be. And finally, if someone isn\'t willing to work hard.well.I\'m glad I chose this industry. I love the fact that my career is still based around speaking with people, educating them, and helping them understand topics that can be quite complex. I\'m happy that I can help clients figure out what they want to accomplish, and then I can help them get there!Earned my CFP designation in 2022.If you\'d like to check me out on other drop me a line anytime:m•••@mikethefinancialadvisor.com
