When I first got licensed in 2014 it was to create leads for an office moving sales job I had, I had grown up around the company, and I thought it'd be a clever way to bring in leads.
It actually kind of backfired, I think we my leads sources thought I was distracted, and they dried up a bit.
On my first renewal (2016) I was doubling down on this Insurance thing being interesting, and seeing the upside of renewals and having a lot of paperwork, but no crews to handle.
On my last renewal (2018) I had worked a year in personal lines, sold leads for a bit, and was about to have my last fulltime job selling supplemental benefits and HR resources. The last two jobs were a little rough, as sales jobs can be, and I decided to see what I could do on my own.
Stepping out and building my own agency allowed me the flexibility to work with Finaeo Inc. It gave me the ability to work with Blake Maxwell and Maxwell Agency Insurance Services to learn commercial P&C too.
Sometimes you just have to "go." You just have to start. The road won't be clear, but certain muscles will develop that you haven't used before. You'll become a different animal. Often I think people are as strong as they have to be. Don't be scared to ask yourself to be strong.
