By the mid-1980s, he had worked his way up the corporate ladder into an operations manager position in Birmingham, AL. Having made enough money by age 29 to seek advice from a financial advisor about his long-term financial goals, he found a mentor in his financial planner who believed Brad had a natural instinct for the business.<\/p><p>Today, that \u201clittle start-up\u201d is Federal Express, and in spite of being drawn to the strategic aspects of investment and retirement planning, Brad admits he \u201cbled purple and orange\u201d at the time. However, after a couple of years, FedEx began maturing into a huge company, and Brad began having his own growing pains. Under constant coercion from his financial mentor to join him as a financial advisor, Brad decided a career move might give him more independence.<\/p><p>In 1987, still single at the time, Brad decided that if there was ever a time to do something crazy with his life this was probably the time to do it. He left his salaried corporate job with FedEx to embrace a commissioned job as an independent financial services representative, and he never looked back.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-66de800 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"66de800\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Advice From a Mentor<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cabff1d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cabff1d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>It didn\u2019t take long to realize that the rules and regulations in the financial services industry were ever-changing and that in order to survive, and most especially to succeed, he was going to have to be willing to change with it.<\/p><p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">&#8220;I received advice from my first boss that not only helped my career through the years, but has helped me help my clients over the years as well. He told me, &#8216;Brad, when you look back over the first twenty years of your career, make sure you are providing twenty years of financial planning experience and not one year of financial planning experience, twenty times.'&#8221;<\/p><p>Inspired by that advice, Brad made the commitment to participate in educational opportunities and training as often as possible.
