John Wetmore shares how he left accounting at $40k a year to enter the insurance industry as a producer, driven by frustration with the 9-to-5 grind and a hunger for entrepreneurship and something more fulfilling.
I was introduced to the business as a business, not introduced as an insurance producer, right? But certainly the producer side for me was an opportunity to get out of the 9-to-5 job I had. Yeah, I was making 40-something grand a year. That's how you're an accountant. Yeah, I was an accountant, not a CPA, like a staff corporate doing books at a private company. Did you enjoy that? I hated it. Yeah, I hated it. I hate— I don't make a good employee at all. No, but that's how your brain works though, right? Yeah, accountant standpoint. I was a fairly good accountant for my role. Yeah. And I got stuff done, but I didn't enjoy it. It didn't fulfill me. It didn't feel like I was accomplishing anything. It just— it was paying the bills. Yeah, you know, and that's— I was tired of that, man. I was 35 years old and tired of going through that rat race, to be honest. I've always wanted more. I just— I didn't have a platform. I didn't— I was always looking, but I didn't— I didn't find a platform that I had— I could execute on.
