Why I get up in the morning:
Each morning is a fresh start and getting up is pretty great when you know that going to work means you get to do what you love. Every day at AFS 401(k) is an opportunity to expand my knowledge, make new connections, and ultimately help make an impact in someone’s financial life.

Why I get up in the morning:
I am a problem solver. Every day has a new challenge and a new set of solutions, so we have to approach them one by one. Every day also brings a new opportunity to learn. On those rare occasions, we get to learn how to solve a new challenge, you can feel true accomplishment with your day.

Why I get up in the morning:
Every morning when I get up I think about whose life I can possibly change that day. The best way I can create a positive change in someone’s life is to support our team of advisors as they help our clients work towards their financial goals, whether it be helping someone figure out how to best pay down their debts, building their emergency savings, or planning for their retirement to name a few. 

Why I get up in the morning:
It was Bill Gates that said, “you don’t really start getting old until you stop learning”. I get up every day hoping to learn something new. In the retirement industry, trends, government regulations, people, and the markets are constantly evolving, and I think it’s essential to maintain curiosity and develop new skills that can help guide you through retirement and life. I think that being a persistent learner is key to having a fulfilling life.

Why I get up in the morning:
I wake up in the morning hesitantly & groggy like everyone else, but after an iced coffee (or two) I am hopeful & energized for the possibilities of the day. While I seem to be the perpetual optimist, I am always thinking up backup plans—just in case. In life, we need to be flexible and adapt to each new day and a new challenge that arises. In that, I guess my additional fuel for the day is finding order in the chaos that can unfold.
