Update.

I went. I drove my happy butt about eight hours away to the agent summit near Atlanta. No regrets.

The major thing I learned: I AM SURROUNDED BY THE WRONG PEOPLE.

I am looking to be elevated in my career, and how can I do that without being surrounded by people who are not motivated to take the leap or the next level in this industry? It makes it tough.

I am going to stay optimistic. I am going to keep my drive.
