How Big Is The 2020 Stock Market Crash? Let’s Find Out
The hustle is a very important part of a successful entrepreneur‘s profile. Having to understand the business aspects as well as putting in the work to make things happen is typical for most successful business people. Serial entrepreneur Terron Tidwell learned to utilize those skills when he started a limo and taxi transportation company that he ran for 12 years before selling his
business. He then used his profits to start an independent music label and in the midst of file sharing privacy affecting the industry in a negative way, Tidwell was provided an opportunity to enter the world of Wall Street.
His many years of travel as a stockbroker has led to his current partnership with HudsonPoint Capital, where he provides personable full-rounded financial management to his list of clients. Black Enterprise was able to catch up with Tidwell to discuss what led to his entrepreneurial ways and how he is able to be successful in the finance game.
I’ve always had a penchant for being good with money. At the age of 13, I had a consistent cash-flow from my grass-cutting and snow removing clients. It came second nature to save and watch my money multiply. Those same principles of helping people with their problems, while earning a living, aligned perfectly with the financial industry. As far as dealing with clients, I try to find their comfort zone. Some clients are meticulous and want to know every little detail, while others just prefer the big picture. So, I work to serve them in that manner.
Prior to coming to Wall Street, I was a small business owner who had success and failures with multiple businesses. Not only did I work my tail off to raise capital, but I also hired people who knew more about the business than I did. That alone helped me avoid a lot of headaches. Learning personable skills, time management, and being tenacious are all transferable traits needed in this industry. After selling one of my business, I looked for ways to re-invent myself. I reached out to a contact in the finance business, who took me under the wing and the rest is history.
I look to see if there’s a vibe to build a relationship upon because it’s like a marriage. Everyone is not a fit for me and I’m not the right fit for everyone. Also, working with those who have similar needs not only provides a rinse and repeat cycle but helps me hone those skills necessary to address those problems.
One of the keys to keeping clients happy is being available and getting back to them in a timely manner. Also, showing that you care about them beyond their money. We provide them with financial planning, wealth management, investment banking, and risk solutions.
I would say to find out quickly if this business is for you. See if you have the stomach for rejection and prepare to work beyond your typical 9 to 5 job hours. Find a mentor who cares about your success or align with those who are where you’re looking to go.
