Milestones
My road in life took a while to figure out.
Went to college and didn't finish my degree, was able to join the Army.
Got the call to become a part time teller.
Was able to go back to school, but went to school for graphic design.
Always worked part time at the bank, wasn't sure of staying.
Client cried about how I was the only person that actually listened and answered his question.
Realized from that moment, that banking was my forte.

Day to Day
It begins with getting into work early to set up your day. Reviewing yesterday's successes and setting individual goals for the upcoming day. After sitting with clients, re-evaluating my conversation, I try to uncover any hidden opportunities that I may have missed. Clients are puzzles that need to be solved. Hopefully I would show the student that you can't always finish the puzzle, and sometimes help is needed.
Advice for Getting Started
Here's the first step for college students
The first step for someone to pursue my occupation is the ability to want to help people day in and day out. Stay prepared and you can achieve greatness. "Perfect practice prevents poor play"--something I learned playing football, and has helped me throughout my career.
