My firm is pushing me to build a book, but I'm in my mid-20s, and my friends are mostly broke or just saving for weddings. They don't really need a wealth manager yet, and I can't wait a decade for them to hit it big. For those who didn't start with a wealthy network, how did you find your first few big clients? Was it by cold calling, or did you find a better way to get in front of the right people?

I’m currently signed on a contract for my first house for new construction that has gas heating.

I ignored the negative comments and we moved the conversation along. Not talking about that anymore!
