Whew! This is a truth I have not heard before.
On another note, the success rate of CFPs is about the same as Real Estate agents. Both professions require extensive study to get the certification, but maybe 1 in 5 makes a living.
The certification does not help an agent hustle for clients. The agent must find ways to find that edge. These are hard occupations! Probably better than writing blogs, but still quite risky.
