S7:E7 - Shifting your mindset to become a CFP professional

In this week’s #YourFinancialPlanning Maestro podcast we talk to Oz Shtrosberg CFP™ from MAG Financial Services about his journey to become a CFP professional.   This is a fascinating conversation about how financial advisers need to shift their mindset to become CFP professionals.  Oz talks through the various aspects of the process to complete his financial plan for the CISI L7 assessment, where he was challenged and how it made him reconsider his approach to the assessment.   We also discuss what aspects of the business he went off and changed straight away!   #CFP #YourFinancialPlanningMaestro #podcast Oz Shtrosberg bio: Oz Shtrosberg CFP™ is a Financial Planner at MAG Financial Services Ltd.    He studied Economics at Manchester University and went on to complete a MSc in Management.
