Summary: Wonderful, Comprehensive Resource
Comment: This is a great resource for those who are looking for an understanding of what the industry is all about and step by step advice on how to enter the profession. Nancy's book was not the first book I read on Financial Planning. I'd read probably two or three others before she came out with her book and still had lots of questions about the nuts and bolts. I loved the book and found it very comprehensive. As a career changer, my biggest questions revolved around pros and cons of the various educational options and the process to move into the field. The chapter that discussed "planners who have been in the industry five years or less, and how they made the transition" was very enlightening for me.
Nancy's approach to the profession is definitely others-focused (you might say altruistic). You won't learn how to be a top producer from her narrative, but if you're looking for a multitude of insights into a profession that can be challenging, exciting, fulfilling, and rewarding through the service you provide to others, this is definitely the book. For me it was exactly what I was looking for.

Summary: Good starter
Comment: This book is a great overview of financial planning as a profession. It discusses the many facets and approaches to the business while maintaining an evenhanded approach throughout. It focuses the reader on one of the most important points when considering financial planning as a career, "what does financial planning mean to you, and do you want to spend your life doing that?"
