@@Louise.Fitzgerald_IFA Thank you Louise. What advice would you give to someone starting the diploma in regulated financial planning, with the end goal of being self employed asap? I appreciate your time and comments. :)
@@jacknottingham9492 Great question! Here are a few tips to get started: 1. Focus on understanding, not just passing: The diploma gives you the technical foundation, but truly understanding the material will help you in the long run, especially when you're self-employed. 2. Network early: Build connections with other professionals, mentors, and potential clients from the start. Your network will be invaluable when you go solo. 3. Start planning your business now: While you're studying, start laying the groundwork for your self-employed practice. Think about your niche, marketing, compliance, and client acquisition strategies. 4. Stay organised: Balancing studying and planning your self-employment path can be tricky, so use tools like study schedules and business plans to keep on track. 5. Get real-world experience: If possible, gain practical experience alongside your studies, whether it's through internships, shadowing, or part-time roles. Good luck, and feel free to reach out if you need more advice!

What sources do you use for reviewing market news??
Market publications such as Professional Adviser, The Financial Times, Citywire, and other publications are good to keep up to date
