Losing Momentum= Loss In Optimism



You ever find your self saying, “It could be worse”; By that time you are chest deep in the weeds. Your anxiety is through the roof and you keep thinking, “here we go again”. Haha…

I slacked off for a couple of days, and I regret it. I kept saying, “I will do it tomorrow”. Well babe, tomorrow came and went. BUT there is a blessing in every lesson. (“A CHANGE IS GOING TO COME”)

I have learned the importance of focusing on me and my business. I have always put my needs and myself last. Probably the worst thing to do when you are trying to build–

As an infant we learn to roll from our backs to our bellies, we learn to crawl, and then we learn to walk. Through those stages, we do not give up. We keep going. What does that have to do with success?

You have to keep repeating the process of success everyday to keep seeing results. You cannot just pat yourself on the back for a few days of progress, and think you will be fine things will be better tomorrow. That is not how those before you were able to hit seven figures.

Pick up that momentum sis, it is time to get to work.

99 Problems & You are 1

From 0 to 100 real quick.

Rule #1: Stop over thinking

Rule #2: Do not procrastinate

Rule #3: Do not ever show your hand

Rule #4: Stay level headed

Rule #5: Stay Consistent

Rule #6: Smack every Financial Advisor who is NOT a licensed Insurance Agent/Advisor

Rule #7: Do Not forget RULE #6

No. I will not bite my tongue. The frustration I feel hearing clients say, “Oh my Financial Advisor said I did not need life insurance”. (Okay Dave Ramsey)
Just because you have a college degree does not make you knowledgeable when it comes to insurance. I said what I said.
I wish Financial Advisors and Insurance Agents would learn to work together. If both parties have the clients best interest at heart, then financial and retirement planning could be simplified.

Fixed and Indexed Annuities are beneficial to clients. I need every Financial Advisor to stop telling clients Annuities are a bad thing. Listen up. ANNUITIES ARE BENEFICIAL! If a client’s annuity is properly set up, they could stop risk of loss, while potentially gaining money, have income for life, and not have to work after retirement! It’s a win win situation. We all know Social Security is not enough to survive on. So stop lying to clients! (AND THE CHURCH SAID AMEN).

Now, let’s pray and play nice. Muah!

Looking for a mentor is this you?


I want a mentor who is where I want to be. Not a phony or a fake. I want someone who is living in their truth, who I can learn from. I want someone who knows the ends and outs of investing (insurance and stocks), who has successfully been able to build a brand, make seven figures, and who wants to give me a little bit of their time. To grow, I need to learn.












Do Not Disturb.


If you see an ambitious person on a mission to be successful and financially free; DO NOT DISTURB them.

So many of us are so distracted by people, places, or things that we tend to lose focus on our goals–

As I am writing this I can hear my Dad’s voice: “You need to focus. Stop worrying about ____”. I will let you guess what he said. Disclaimer: He did not raise me and we are more like friends. (Well my old man does have a point).

When you are chasing your dreams or in a multimillion dollar industry, you have to stick to your plan, and follow through with it or you will get lost in the sauce.

It is important to be able to take direction and stay focused. If that direction is going to make you seven figures, guess what? Distractions gone.

Ask yourself these questions:

Is that person paying your bills?

Is that place building your book of business?

Is that “thing” going to be able to be invested?

Is that person, place, or thing an asset or a liability?

If you are saying no to all of these and all of them are liabilities, turn your mind and heart to DND; You have an empire to build.

C’est la vie.

Broker Life.

Being a broker makes life easy. Especially on dial days. Do you know how many times I hear, “what insurance company are you with?” Let’s just say about every other call.

Let me tell you, the relief I hear in people’s voices when I tell them I am a brokerage and what that means for them is astounding. I always hear them start to relax a little! Many people get calls everyday from different agents, who probably are reading the same script.
Scripts are great, but personality is better.

Being in the Life Insurance industry, you have to have merit, integrity, a willingness to listen, and the ability to learn. In my opinion that makes you stand out from the rest, and those are the type of agents I want working in my Agency.

(Recruiting in a city near you)

Back to why being a broker makes life easy: people want options. Life insurance is not a one size fits all. The quicker you learn that, the better off you will be.

Happy Friday! Remember: Kindness goes along way.

PSA: Yes, new agents are welcome to join me on this journey.

SAY WHAT?!

Buy leads. Buy leads. BUY LEADS!!!
If had the right guidance and mentor sheesh I would be on a different track right now.

I took a gamble and spent a commission check on fresh,exclusive, never resold leads.

Let me tell you what, I am never going back to relying on “warm market or aged leads”. Literally it’s a relief to finally be booking appointments back to back. Worth every dollar I spent. I am going to do it again next month. Island Girl is on the rise baby! I feel amazing!

It is so comforting that I was able to talk to clients for long periods of time, and just banter back and forth. One week down. Thousands more to go.

With that being said if you need life insurance or you are looking into having a nice retirement plan. You can book an appointment on my website:

I Begin Again.

I read someone’s Facebook post a couple days ago, and it said something along the lines of, “Don’t be afraid to begin again”.

Today, I erased old goals on my white board and made new ones. I flipped through old insurance notes I had made through the year, and had a couple of laughs. I compiled old leads and scrubbed through social media and made a new call list. I opened up a book, “Millionaire Women Next Door” by Thomas J. Stanley, Ph.D. (highly recommend);I read half way through the book, and so far it has given me a new perspective. Today, I made phone calls that I usually would never make. I took the initiative to study for my SIE exam. Today, I began again.

As an Insurance Agent trying to build an agency, I had to ask myself several important questions today. The biggest one I had to ask is do I want a house that is already built, but has a foundation that is cracking? OR. Do I want to start from scratch with no foundation or brick?

Guess what? I am choosing no foundation or brick. I am going to give this industry all I have. When I come out on top, I will have two running Agencies. I am focusing on what I set out to do from day one, and ignoring all of the noise.

I am unapologetically different. See you on the otherside.

Too Many Lies & Only One Truth

“I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help me God”.

You ever look at someone, and think: “If you’re going to lie, make it sound good.” I have on several occasions. The biggest lies I have heard so far while being in the insurance industry are surrounding high compensation, mentorship, and “getting rich overnight”.

Agents who nonstop recruit are like drug dealers. They bait, line, and sink you. I said what I said. These are the same agents who wake up and thank God for their success. They should be thanking their downline for working and putting in overtime so they can line their pockets.

Disclaimer: this is not directed towards anyone but if the shoe fits, baby, you know what to do!

The truth: Not every Agent or Agency is in this industry for their own gain. Some are really out there helping new agents climb the ladder, helping them to build, and teaching them to put clients needs first.

I might not have it all figured it out, but I know who to count on. I know when I lay my head on my pillow at night, I have a clear conscience. I know when I go into the field I will always do right by my clients.


Island Girl

What do you do when you feel like you are on an Island by yourself?

I have been asking that same question for a good six months. I thought by joining someone else’s agency, I would not feel so lost in the sauce. Well I was wrong. Matter of fact, I feel more lost there than when I was by myself, studying my scripts, and doing my carriers trainings.  I was hoping to get actual guidance and a mentor in this industry; instead I have gotten more video training.

I am a hands on, interactive type of person–

I have learned how I want my Agency to run and not to run; The importance of recruiting. Like wow!

Sometimes being on an island alone is not so bad. I am selling life insurance and quoting more. I am learning patience and persistence. I would not have gotten this far if I finally did not force myself to get up off my ass.

Money does not come in unless you are putting in the work.
