Has anyone else made the switch from hobby investor to qualified financial advisor? If so, how did you deal with the psychological change? I'm half way through the DipFA and planning for the next step after my last exam, but still really struggle with the confidence aspect. Investing/finance has been just a hobby for the last decade or so and the idea of getting paid to dish out advice seems 'wrong' when I've been managing/advising people for free until now and always refused payment. How/when did you start to feel ok about accepting money for it?
