It sounds like some IMOs expect you to either quite for FT job or be sitting at home doing nothing in order for them to bring you on. I don't know how that will work for me. I plan on starting out part time for maybe the first 3-6 months before quitting my FT job. This will give me time to learn the business and build up a bank roll. I'm a workaholic and really pressed for more income right now so I undoubtedly know I can make this work.
Probably because most have been there, done that.
Ben was correct, most people who think they are going to do it part time grossly overestimate how much time they have available.
One, FE is really not evening activity for the most part. Two, assuming you work a 9-5 job. Even if you head directly from work to your first appointment, you realistically are looking at 6pm for your first appointment in most cases. So you may can run an appointment or two that evening. Rather unlikely anyone will set an appointment after 8, although it is possible. Which means when you get home, kids are probably in bed or on their way there. Plus you now just worked a 12 hour day.
Even Saturday, if you have kids are you willing to forgo basically all activities with them?
Reardon made it work, so you may want to ask him about his experience.
The reality is, very few succeed in insurance. And then adding in part time work and you stack the odds even more against you.
