Really respect your content.. thanks for posting this! Especially in an era where social media as glamourized entrepreneurship and put down the employee in America.

Great video; Taking my CFA l2 but am also a professional ( accountant), agreed with all your points on showing up and being the best employee

Great video and perspective! Entrepreneurship has been glamorized, but as always, it comes with major survivorship bias. You never hear from the failures.

Rule 1: never outshine the master. So dont be that great of an employee.

I wanted to ask you a serious question about education to help become a financial planner/financial advisor. I want to do what will in the long run give me the most opportunities and the highest salary. I am currently an accounting student about to earn my master's. I am in a program in which I can get an MFM in Wealth Management. So I will qualify to take the CPA and CFP. I am currently planning to try to get both.
What I want to ask you is if you believe that getting a CPA license is worth it to my career as a financial planner/advisor. Would this give me more opportunities and a higher salary than if I didn’t get one? To get a CPA license I will have to take that exam plus extra schooling than if I just pursued my CFP and tried to become a wealth advisor out of college.
What is your opinion on what I should do in my situation? My long-term goal is to work in the financing planning/wealth management industry.
Would you also say that getting a CPA plus a CFP would be similar to having a CFA and CFP in the field?

I agree, you’re way smarter than Cuban
