Becoming a top 1% insurance agent in the country didn't happen by chance.
It also didn't happen by following the standard playbook.
When I started, I sold absolutely nothing in my first month.
Intentionally.
I knew that in order to get to where I wanted to go, I was going to have to be the best. And to do that, I needed to lay the foundationĀ for my path as I took each step.
I had heard it all:
Stay in your lane.
Stay in your region.
There's only so much work available in that niche/this region.
There's not enough work available in that niche/this region.
If I had followed the statue quo. I would have listened to my then-managers and built a portfolio of farms, and that would have been great–if I wanted a slower paced lifestyle.
I didn't.
I knew very early on that I wanted to work on contracts where the day-to-day was always something new, where quick decisions needed to be made. I also knew I wanted to travel and be able to spend time with my kids.
My background was in selling hay, but my dream niche was construction and resorts.
Now I work in an industry that I love, with incredible clients who trust me because they know I'll go to bat for them.
