Hey there,
Can someone explain the significance and benefits of attending an FPA workshop, and how it contributes to professional development in the field?

Hi Jason… Yeah sure. I attended one last week and it was worth it. Here’s why:
Networking opportunities: FPA workshops bring together professionals from various areas of financial planning, providing valuable networking opportunities. Connecting with peers, mentors, and industry experts can lead to new business partnerships, collaborations, and career opportunities.
Continuing education: FPA workshops often offer educational sessions, seminars, and presentations on topics relevant to financial planning. These sessions can help professionals stay updated on industry trends, regulations, and best practices, enhancing their knowledge and skills.
Professional development: By attending FPA workshops, professionals can participate in interactive sessions, panel discussions, and workshops designed to improve their professional skills and expertise. This can include topics like client communication, practice management, investment strategies, and more.
Access to resources: FPA workshops may provide access to valuable resources such as industry research, tools, templates, and software that can streamline processes and improve efficiency in financial planning practices.
Industry recognition: Participation in FPA workshops demonstrates a commitment to professional development and ongoing learning, which can enhance credibility and reputation within the financial planning community. It may also lead to opportunities for speaking engagements, writing opportunities, and leadership roles within the association.
The benefits can go on and on…

I enrolled at Fiction Profits Academy, and I caution you to proceed cautiously. This program shows you how to choose successful niches and themes for your kindle fiction novels. You can then employ ghostwriters to create the books—though most people choose not to—and sell them on Amazon. Although there are undoubtedly successful members of the organization who really offer a great deal of help, there is a serious issue with the program that involves misleading marketing.
It is stated clearly in the free webinar that sells the service that the total cost to generate each ebook is $250.
(The program tells you that in order to build a profitable business, you should write one book per month.) This is untrue. It quickly becomes evident once you’re inside the program that NO ONE is writing popular books for that little money. The truth is that each book requires more than $1000–1200 in expenditures to manufacture. Significant change. Essentially, you will need to invest several thousand dollars in production expenditures before you start to see money pouring in when you take into account the timetable of how the process works. This is more than the program enrollment fee. And because more individuals are becoming involved in this, it’s possible that book manufacturing costs will rise even further (albeit this is just my guess at this point).

We were ripped off for $8000. My husband was initially told $400. But it was $8000! And when I watched her video for the Boot Camp, she said if you want to cancel in six months that is fine. What she did not say, dear Karla, is that in order for you to cancel you have to finish getting a ghost rider and editor, a cover advertising free book initially, and it will take you forever and ever to even get your investment back. I tried to ask questions on Facebook under their group as far as how much it would cost after all of these factors were included, and they deleted my request. All input onto their Facebook page is reviewed by admin and deleted immediately if it has nothing positive to say. so anyone looking at that group would think everybody is hunky-dory. They are a scam. They make money off of you at every step. They make a profit off of your books, your editors, everything that you’re paying for they get money for. My husband had brain surgery and is on tons of medication and should not even be in front of the computer but he signed up for this. Legally, this contract is Noll and void but these people will not do what is legally correct. We are trying to sue them right now and we are working with the Attorney General. The difficult part is because they do not want to have feet on ground, they’re very difficult to contact. It’s all online shit. Which in itself is very, very shady. Karla is shady, other coaches are shady. Sure, they are good at what they do, because they are fantastic manipulators. If you’re even thinking of this… Don’t…
