CFA Test Preparation Service

[ricardox]

English is my second language so if I've said something confusing let me know ; ) Also, I'm looking to practicar espoñol, si también lo estás aprendiendo, también avísame.

What's this business about?

• We try to create a CFA test prep service

What is CFA?

• It's a professional certification for investment management

Why you want to start this business

• It seems to align really well with what I've been enjoying doing and the life I'm looking forward to

How well you know about this market and how certain are you?

• I personally have gone through the tests myself.
• During the process, I have my own way of preparing for the tests, in a less boring and intimidating way I find.
• Given the current circumstance, we will give it a 30% successful rate (will revise this number as things progress)

Isn't that number a little bit low? Are you sure you wanna try?

• The Lean Startup written by Eric Ries offers us some interesting way of looking at startups. There is no need to figure out a perfect plan right from the get-go. It's like you drive a car from point A to point B. You don't have to plan for the exact moment or the exact force you step on your gas.
• In terms of reasons behind starting the business: it's something Jeff Bezos called regret minimization. It's not like my partners and I have some aversions towards jobs. Starting a business gives our lives meaning.
• For me, I can always get a job, but the opportunity cost of failing is escalating as I grow older

Why are you posting your progress here?

• I'm a little perfectionistic, and it can sometimes stop me from doing something. Considering I sometimes go for the extra mile to do things just to save face and avoid humiliations, why don't I use my fear of humiliation as a tool to go against my fear of losing? Now I have the issue of being masochistic?
• Joke aside, I have been loving this quote from David Rubenstein (at Robert H. Smith School of Business). He gave me a little laugh and some positive wisdom. Using my perfectionism is one of the funny implementations of such a rule.

What we going to do is follow the advice of Everett Dirksen. Everett Dirksen had been a Senate minority leader in the 1960s. He helped the Civil Rights Act get passed. He said: "When you're getting kicked out of town, get out in front and pretend you are leading a parade. What does that mean? That means to take advantage of the situation you find yourself in.
