I am a big fan of the late, great business philosopher Jim Rohn.
I highly recommend you study him. Let his books and wealth of business information mentor you. You will quickly become a big fan too.

The role that firefighters play in our society is certain and secure. I have friends and family who are and have been firefighters. I personally hold them in high regard.
Great firefighters are leaders of their teams in situations far beyond what most of us could imagine.
No matter where you are in your leadership journey, you can move forward. It’s not something that just happens overnight. Sometimes it isn’t easy. It takes time, experience, training, discipline, and a few other things.

It's customary for either the service/sales provider (you) and the person being served (customer/prospect) to say "thank you" in one form or another.

We are going through an unprecedented time in our lives. Many of us are unsure of our future and are having to implement quick changes to our normal daily routines.
Thinking of how this has affected you and your family; how do you think it is affecting your customers?
Are your customers fully protected for the unknown?
As an insurance agent, it is our responsibility to make sure our customers have no gaps in their coverage.

Mike Tyson famously said, “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face.”
Last fall Vanessa and I were staying at the same hotel as her beloved Auburn Tiger football team as they hosted their archrival Georgia Bulldogs the next day.
