What this IFA knows about power stations in the Middle East
Here is an interview with our entrepreneurial IFA member, Phil O'Connor:
What do you enjoy most about what you do?
I enjoy the interaction with my clients and helping them to achieve their goals. As your relationship with your money is possibly the most, if not THE most important relationship in life, it is imperative that this is a healthy and strong relationship, so that all other (and more important) relationships in your life can flourish.
What advice would you give someone just starting out in your line of business?
I would advise them to stay true to themselves to find a specific niche in which they can add considerable value, and to always at all times put their clients? needs and wants above their own.
What one thing would you do with your business if you knew you could not fail?
I would rapidly expand so that we had offices in every major city in the country.
What do you see as the coming trends in your sector of business?
More interaction via the internet with more intuitive systems and guides available for clients to self manage and orchestrate their own finances.
Describe the strangest or funniest incident you have experienced in your business?
Doing the due diligence and anti money laundering on the sale of a power station situated in the Middle East. It was all pucker in the end!
What ways have you found to be the most effective for promoting your business.
Networking and google adwords pay per click
What one sentence would you like people to use in describing the way you do business.
Phil is honest, caring and truthful and he is extremely professional putting his needs behind those of his clients.
