So you have a lot of agency owners actually at a point of saying, should we just sell off our small business? Who's thinking about just cutting bait? Yeah, they're a waste of our time. We're spending too much time on it.
Call me. We'll help you. I'm happy to take those off your hands. Honestly, I think there's a reality to that because one of the things I have also found is you have to have a good motor and high energy to really focus and really want to put forth a good product in the space. You have to really be passionate about it. You can't fake passion here at all or else it just falls flat. So I would say You're either in it or you're not, and get out of it if you're not. Find a good buyer that will take on that book of business for you, or commit in the space. And if it's not you, bring on somebody that it is, and then bring sexy back.
