Yep that's what I thought you were doing.
Damn Dave, you come up with some weird looking avatars. This one might be the weirdest yet.
At least he's not showing off his tongue like Newby.

I'm a handy guy to have around when you have a lot of postage stamps that need licking.

David,
Is this tongue in cheek or an actual good book?
Because if a lot of people buy it, offering your book for $129 seems like a pretty good way to get rich selling...

It's an actual good book... but buy it used.

Y'all are gonna hate me for saying this but I gotta get it off my chest.
Is it really a "business" if you can't replace yourself?
The only "business" aspect to having the "120% contracts & full cost leads" type insurance opportunity is the ridiculously high expenses.
You're almost always a slave to the ENTIRE sales process, meaning if you don't work you don't get paid.
That's not a business. That's a 1099 sales gig where you have to pay for ALL marketing. Meanwhile your IMO is making 30-50% overrides + $3-$5 per DM lead no matter how much YOU actually NET at the end of the year. That's right, they make their money whether you made ANYTHING after expenses! Now, that IMO side is definitely a business if I ever saw one!
Trust me I know. I have a 150 with Mutual of Omaha after having a license 3 years next month. (Hint: & I didn't get there by selling myself.) So now if I wanted to I could give agents 120 and have them spend thousands of dollars on leads, sit in cat piss trailers, & put thousands of miles on their car while I sit in my ivory tower & make 30% overrides for giving them the same freakin training they could find on YouTube for free ON DEMAND. Sorry, but y'all agents are crazy for allowing this to happen. If you look around and can't find the sucker, it's you.

You have/had equal opportunity as anyone else. But at 19 you don't have much seasoning on you. If I was placing bets there is no 19 year old that would be the horse I would bet on. But if you can make it to 25 and have 6- years of industry knowledge and experience you will be way ahead of your peer group and still very young.
I would trade all my experience and everything I have accomplished to trade ages with you.
