Once a teacher, always a teacher - or so the saying goes!
Way back in the `dark ages' I spent 8 years in the classroom teaching a wide range of business related subjects. Three of those years were spent as a lecturer in business studies in Papua New Guinea where I learned the art of teaching with the aid of simple language and the use of diagrams to help create perspective and clarity.
My experience has come to my aid every day since. The world of financial affairs is often complex and mysterious for many people, I get my first rewards when people say to me “thanks Bob, that's the first time anyone has made that clear to me, now I understand”. Helping people understand helps them to make decisions based on facts, not fears.
The grey whiskers tends to give the game away, I'm not 30 any more, in fact I have had more than 40 years in this business, mostly as a client focussed adviser. Like most people in their 60's I have a focus on my retirement needs. In the meantime I am active in the pursuit of serving client needs, accepting new clients into our fold and in mentoring our younger associates.
Over the next few years my focus will shift from helping wealth creators to giving more attention to helping people at the end of their working days. I see a great need for skilled advice to people who need to make urgent decisions about selecting appropriate Aged Care and how to best cover the costs and ongoing lifestyle needs.
NFS is structured so that there will always be a succession of qualified and caring advisers and staff to take care of your needs.
They had better, one day they will have to take care of mine!
