Hidden Gems: Meet Marcus Johnson of Johnson Capital Planning

Today we’d like to introduce you to Marcus Johnson.

Hi Marcus, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
My introduction to finance started in college when I was the President of the Economic and Finance Society. I was tasked with implementing a program that would teach us more about how the stock market works. From there I learned that this was the industry I wanted to be a part of. I started my career working on wall st as an analyst. I spent a few years there and quickly realized that I wanted to educate my community about how money works, so I decided to become a Financial Advisor. I started out with Edward Jones and after a few years there, I took the leap of faith and started my own firm Johnson Capital Planning, LLC.

Our goal at Johnson Capital Planning, LLC is to give our clients the blueprint to achieve their individual version of financial success.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Absolutely not! This is a tough business to get started in. Although you are talking to clients about money, it takes a while for cash flow to become steady. This business is truly about building the right relationships and that takes time. This business is rooted in longevity, the longer you stay the better it gets. My first year in business I remember almost giving up, but thanks to the support of my loved ones I was able to push through and keep working towards building a solid business. I tell new advisor all the time that I quit almost every day in my head, but I had to remember my WHY. My WHY is what consistently got me through the ups and flows of this business.
