I'm proud of this one. Becoming a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™️ Professional was one of the most difficult challenges I've faced and I had to work for years toward this goal. This week I officially received my credential after meeting all the requirements of the CFP Board. There are lots of degrees, certifications, and licenses out there but to me becoming a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™️ Professional has always been the gold standard. I look forward to putting the expertise and competency this credential represents to work for real people who are trying to make wise financial decisions that lead to living more generous, more secure, and less anxious lives. https://certificates.cfp.net/77d248c0-5148-4c9e-a946-429585167030
