Ep #205: Career Changing from Marketing to Financial Planning - The Career of Sara Stanich
May 22, 2019
Today XYPN member Sara Stanich, founder of Cultivating Wealth, joins the show to discuss her unique journey to finding her place in financial planning. We will discuss why she made a career change out of marketing after 12 years and how having experience in multiple industries has led to her success as a financial advisor and business owner. Sara will share what pushed her to launch her own SEC-Registered firm in 2016 and why she sought out full independence.
Listen in to learn why Sara believes there are fantastic opportunities for independent fee-only advisers in general—and for women in particular—and how she balances running a successful business with being a mother of three young kids. If you’re prepared to finally make that career change into financial planning, then this is the episode for you.
