Business Outlook

Pros

Great people and atmosphere, Morristown is a good town to work in, Flexibility, if you have a big family or know a lot of wealthy people who you would feel comfortable approaching you can make a good amount of money pretty easily and quickly. Compensation is great once you start getting clients. Once you have all of your licenses you can offer most financial services and actually offer comprehensive plans not just pure investments or pure insurance.

Cons

You are responsible for getting in front of people so if you don't know a lot of people who would be willing to let you review their situation, cold prospecting can be difficult and time consuming. Be prepared to not see income for a good amount of time while you are starting out, unless you get lucky, building a solid book of business takes time. You also have to get your series 7, 66, life and health which can take a while and are tough for some people.
