Andy Neary delivers a short, direct message to insurance advisors urging them to invest in their own development rather than expecting employers or agencies to fund their coaching or mentorship. He emphasizes personal accountability—putting "all the chips" on yourself—and frames financial self-investment as the best way to create pressure and accountability for career success.

I'll be very honest with you. In this industry, I watch a lot of people, we have conversations with insurance advisors every week who know they need help with coaching or mentorship. They know they need to invest in themselves or they know they need to get better. They want to get better in their career, but they're just unwilling to invest in themselves. We hear it every day. We talk to advisors every day who are interested in our help, but then they immediately want to see if somebody else will invest financially for them. They want to see if their boss will invest, their agency will invest. That is not investing in yourself. That's hoping somebody else invests in your success. Can't do that. You've got to go all in on your own success. The only one who can put all the chips in on you is you. Make the investment, put the risk on the table that you are betting on your success. There's not a better way to put the pressure on to make sure you have success than investing in you.
