He went through hell to achieve his dreams, and it shot me back to my time as a new insurance agent that was like Chinese Water Torture.
Luckily I never had to endure the types of difficulties he faced, but there were certainly times where the future was bleak.
When I started as an agent, I had nothing given to me.
Okay, okay… I take that back, I did get a phone book and telephone.
I had dropped out of college in order to start this job cuz I was getting married in about 6 weeks. The big boss painted a beautiful picture for me. He sold me on the lifestyle, the money, the freedom, the GOLF!
So I gave up college and took up cold calling and getting kicked in the shorts instead.
I worked 2 jobs just to pay the bills. (My night job just about killed me, not kidding. I smashed my thumb open and then cracked my skull on the concrete floor. I’ll tell you about it sometime.) Our first Christmas married my entire commission for the month was $349.
For Christmas dinner we ate hot-pockets from 7-11. My wife (living 2000 miles away from her parents) cried when she called them on the phone.
Not one of my favorite moments. HOWEVER, these experiences drove me to be better. To accept nothing less than complete financial success and the freedom and security that it brings with it.
I realized that I needed to be BETTER, more Valuable to the market to get paid BIG money.
So I studied everything I could about persuasion, sales, marketing, advertising, copywriting. That study led me to develop the Value For Life Newsletter.
This newsletter is one of the best ways on the planet to get new leads, referrals, and increase commissions by cross-selling. http://www.massretention.com
So at the end of the day, like Will Smith’s character in “Happyness”, I feel extremely blessed to be able to achieve my goals in life. And I know ANYONE can get what they desire, if they work SMART and hard.
To more leads and bigger commissions,
Beach Broker
PS. I know I’ve promised to offer the monthly newsletter to everyone on an ongoing basis. Things have been crazy around here. Big commission just had a new baby boy, and we’ve been working on a new AWESOME live internet TV show for our subscribers, so that’s been taking up all my time.
I promise to have it ready to go next week.
