Earlier this week I was informed that I’ve been selected to the Young Professionals of Central Indiana (YPCI) Board of Directors for 2019. I made it a goal for myself to attend at least 2 networking events each month this year and YPCI is one of the organizations whose events I’ve been attending. I’ve really enjoyed my time at YPCI’s events and have made some great connections through them.

To me, there are “talkers” and there are “doers”. Usually people aren’t both. I like to think of myself as a doer (at least, I do my best to be a doer). Whenever I get an idea that I’m excited about and I think is worth acting on, I try to learn as much about it as possible within the shortest amount of time that I can and then execute it to the best of my abilities. It’s silly, but sometimes I actually get frustrated with people who I perceive as talkers – people who I hear continue to talk about things that they want to do rather than actually making them happen. This especially frustrates me when I feel like the thing they talk about doing could make their life much better, such as improving their financial situation or health, but they just won’t do it.

I was fortunate enough to meet with many successful fee-only financial planners who are passionate about NAPFA’s mission as well as NAPFA Genesis’ mission.
