Chapters
A buddy of mine that I hired in the mortgage industry introduced me to insurance. Guy by the name of Jeremy. He's like, hey, there's this thing. I'm into insurance. There's a guy reminds me of you. I think you'd do well here. And I got introduced and I started doing it part-time in 2012, the summer of 2012. I was doing accounting work full-time, making $40,000 a year. And then I was doing insurance on the side part-time. So literally 10 years ago, I was a part-time insurance sales guy with terrible comp, with no leads, no clue how to sell. I was miserable with people. Again, I'm from Boston. I'm an accountant. I dislike people. I was really bad at the sales side. So, but I saw, you know, for me, I saw a lot of people as I started going through this thing, building wealth in insurance. And one thing that I've always had that I wish more of you have, and probably people here do, that's why you come to events like this, is like, I believe that whatever Cody can do, I can do. I just don't think there's— I just think if he can show me, why can't I do it too? Like if there's a path, if there's a process, there's a system, if there's a play, like why not me too? And do y'all— does anybody struggle with that?
