EP 119 How To Rise Above The Chaos and Embrace The Calm with Irene Nakamura

Being a financial advisor can be stressful — especially now, when banks have collapsed and it’s unclear how the state of the economy will affect your business. It can also be anxiety inducing to be a woman in a predominantly male industry. When I was a financial advisor, I encountered potential clients who didn’t want to work with me just because I’m a woman. That stuff still happens! Less than 1% of the managed money in the United States is managed by women, so it’s up to us to hold our ground. It’s essential to learn how to adapt to these stressful situations, so that you don’t compromise your success when everything seems to be going wrong. 

Irene Nakamura knows all about protecting her calm. She’s an award winning author, speaker, and a court reporter and litigation supporter in three states. Her company works specifically with women and minority court reporters, and she is no stranger to the challenges of being a woman in a “boy’s club.” During our episode she talks about how you can develop routines to stay level-headed when things get tough.
