Refresh and just do it. Call out to some advisor friends and start a friendly competition for AUN or new accounts. Make advising fun again.

I would maybe change your routine. Hit the gym in the A.M. , or leave early and do some thing fun. I get together with 5-6 advisors every 2 months for a dinner. We meet up, talk about what’s working and exchange ideas together. It’s a fun and informative night.

Common at 3-4 years for the outcome of your efforts to stall out and seem like things aren’t moving. This is the time when I advise newer advisors I’m mentoring to take charge and control what they can control. Keep your activities and attitude up and this will pass.

“Success will happen all of a sudden”

Hang in there and keep plugging away

New in TCS but couldn't understand PF procedure and it's deduction from salary.
I am paying PF of amount 2040 getting deducted 2 times from my salary 1st according to CTC and after salary is getting credited then again same amount is deducted, so my question is this correct.
CTC is: PF+ 76185
Salary is: 76185-PF.
PF: 2040 so it's getting deducted 2 times same amount every month. Before salary is paid and after.
