It’s my 3rd year attending the Million Dollar Round Table MDRT! Now the trip to Canada, Vancouver is not the easiest with me being in Singapore and each year I fly 18-20 hours to just attend a 5 day conference and to fly back to start work the next day! I get questioned by friends & family as to why I would even do such a thing and I felt expressing my thoughts would help! For the uninitiated its basically the Tech Conference but for financial advisory practitioners, its a 5 day event that’s packed with learnings and networking with the goal being to improve ones understanding of their practices. Each year that I go there I learn how big the world really is and how small I might be thinking with how I could improve my advisory practices to impact my clients life better! The most important reason that I attend however is that I feel like a student all over again. I meet with people who are 70-80 years old and I realise how early I am to this business and how long I could go for if I make this sustainable. I meet with people who inspire me to change the way I think and are supportive despite being strangers! Its a great event and I look forward to attending this and sharing my insights each year!

😂 seeing people older than you at conferences is one that Ive never heard, but yeah it does make a lot of sense

2moCongratulations for doing the right thing. It is important not only to qualify, but also to participate. Only then MDRT will give the results 🙂
