Doug - I really LOVE this story about "John!" So true. Obviously - it IS possible to get rich by selling insurance...lots of people have...but there's a catch...IT'S NOT EASY!!! Other than the "one-hit wonders" or those fortunate ones who happen to hit it out of the park in their first year or so...it's a slow process which requires long hours, dealing with frequent rejection, and often a negative perception surrounding the career. IF you can overcome all these obstacles, and IF you devote the time...you can be successful and have a rewarding and prosperous insurance practice. If you are client-focused and not product or income-focused - it will pay huge dividends in the long run through referrals and client loyalty. Do what's right, help your clients and the success and wealth will follow!

ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments. They are spot on!
I posted this blog for two reasons, one was to show a bit of humor but the other was to reflect on what you mentioned as "one hit wonders" or "elephant hunting" as I call it. All too often people get in this business for the wrong reasons. They expect to either win the lottery or bring down some big game, like an elephant.
Good luck in your career
