Best week!

[Ryan Caras]

I have never been in the field full time but when I was working in the field I would only work Saturdays and my best day was my first day in the field... I had 5 appointments, I made four presentations, I got no-showed on one, sold all four of my appointments for six applications worth 5300 in AP... I wish I could say I did it all by myself but I believe I had to call in for two favors that day... One of the apps I called Tim Winders and he helped me seal the deal and the other which was the big apps of the day $178 on the man and $120 on the woman I had to call Travis Tubbs to sell that one.. but to say the lease it was the day I made a lot of money in just eight hours of work...

I never would have been in the field if it wasn't for a personal challenge that Travis said to me, and I am always up for a challenge

I'm surprised you took a Monday off instead of becoming a marketer.

It is the Greatest Business in the world. Where can you go to make good money and have the flexibility to be close to home, watch your children grow-up and participate in the usual activities with your family.

Not Many Places...

Let's not get carried away here. It is a great business but if you step back and look from the outside in as a shark would, you would see there are:
-burdensome regulations
-a ton of liability for the agent
-advertising constraints
-a massive amount of competition

There is also the hell (from a business model perspective) of building a business at the retail level one customer at a time.

All I see are excuses for failing. Your list is the easiest to overcome. Where else can you have a business with easy solutions.

-"burdonsome regulations" CHANGE YOUR APPROACH
-"a ton of liability for the agent" ONLY IF YOU CREATE THE LIABILITY
-"advertising constraints" THERE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN CONSTRAINTS ON ADVERTISING COMPANY PRODUCTS
-"a massive amount of competition" NOT TRUE, COMPETITION IN ALL LINES HAVE LESSENED EACH YEAR THE PAST 7 YEARS, ACTIVE LICENSED AGENT COUNT HAS DECREASED EACH YEAR. IF YOU ARE IN A MARKET THAT IS SATURATED, CHANGE YOUR MARKET. Mortgage guys had their market dry up and then moved to an FE market......and were successful.

These excuses are typical of Life/A&H agents. They always try for the easy button. ObamaCare killed my Group Health business and I will loose a bunch of commission.....What did I do.....I changed my primary market and built a new Brand and Market. I did not die on the vine....I just worked through it. Sh...t happens and then you do something about it.
