One for the books

Today was a very historic day. President Barack Obama was sworn in and a new era has begun. I must say I am excited about the changes that may lay ahead. I know the new president has a lot on his plate but I am sure he will at least get us turned in the right direction. It is like a new beginning for everyone. I am looking forward to what this new year brings. Changes are coming, and things can only get better. (I hope) My new career is taking off nicely! I had a meeting last week with the management team and it appears that my hard work so far has not been unnoticed. They have me projected to go career (own my own branch) on March 1st. They told me if I get my series 6 license within the next month that they will lower my requirement of 45 policies to 30 policies and give me $5000 when I do go career to get my business started. Needless to say I was excited and I am up for the challenge. So far I have 14 policies and I have appointments set up for the end of the week. I'm really happy that this is going well for me. I really do enjoy it a lot and I can see the possibilities that this job can bring. Changes are definitely coming this year and so far it looks like it is for the good.

Time is Flying ...as usual

I can't believe its already 2009! Christmas was a blink and news years was just fast. I guess it always goes quicker when you are busy. Well I am a fully licensed insurance agent. Feels good to say that. It was the being n November that I decided to jump into this career and time has flown by since then. I was officially able to sell on December 29Th. since then I have 7 policies under my belt and 3 more appointments this week. I have been very busy lately. I really enjoy my job and I am thrilled at how well its going so far. The goal they gave me was to have 8 policies my first month. The goal I set for myself was 20 the first month. I am really excited about the possibilities that this career can bring me. i have a feeling though that it is going to get much harder. Right now sine I am working out of the corporate office they are giving me free leads, and the leads are great, but I know they are going to stop giving me the freebies soon. I am just starting my marketing plan this week and hopefully it generates some new business for me. I'll let you know how it goes!
