| Q: |
A woman’s dream, to put family first |
| A: |
Working as a merchandiser, the long hours, high pressure and no social life made my life miserable. What’s worse was I had no time to take care of my family and be there for my daughter as she grew up. So, after 20 years in my merchandising career, I decided to give it up, knowing that the situation wouldn’t improve. Finding the perfect balance between my career and family became my ultimate dream. Now I am glad I joined the financial-planning industry because it has given me flexibility in terms of time to take full care of my daughter, who had a stroke when she was nine and had multiple brain surgeries. What’s more, I was able to afford the cost of her medical treatment. |
| Q: |
Barriers to entry, solved by company training |
| A: |
Before I joined the company, my family didn’t believe I could find enough customers. Thanks to the professional training programs from MassMutual and support from my team, I learnt how everything starts with caring. Whenever I go shopping, buying medicine or getting a facial treatment, I try to befriend those I meet in order to understand more about their needs. In due course, most of them become my customers. |
| Q: |
“Help oneself and others” – my greatest satisfaction |
| A: |
Joining the financial-planning industry has not only given me more spare time and financial freedom, it has also given me the chance to help others realize their dreams. No matter whether my clients want more savings or protection, I can help by providing different financial-planning solutions. And if they want to earn more, they can join my team and realize that dream. I am glad I didn’t just wait for luck to come along. Instead, I steadily worked my way into my dream career, a lifelong career where you can realize the meaning and value of your life. |
