In Need.


Do you ever walk into a room of people you know, but feel alone? Do you ever feel so miss understood so you just stay silent?

I was on the phone with my biological dad, venting as I always do about my personal life and telling him how business was going. After I hung up the call, I thought, “wow, I am all alone down here, doing the damn thing. This sucks.”

It’s crazy. People would never know but I’m low key awkward and enjoy being by myself. So I thought, until I started in the insurance industry. Not having a group of people to bounce ideas off of or to prospect with is low key lonely AF. I keep telling myself, it won’t be like this forever. After I move it will be easier to find like minded individuals. So I hope.


If you are seeing this and Live in West Virginia or Virginia. I need friends. Haha

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.

My Reason Why

I have been asked, “Why Life Insurance”?

I have typed out different versions of why over the last few months. I have deleted every version because I am not one to lie. Have you ever had an epiphany and thought wow—I have nothing lose. Life possibly can’t get any worse (haha).

When I first started almost a year ago now, I had one foot in the door and one foot out. Just in case I didn’t make it. I had a bunch of good ideas, but a bad mindset from the jump. I thought it was going to be easy, and I would be able to skate by with no problems.(lol). The joke was on me. I had no idea what I was setting myself up for—

I woke up at 6:30 this morning. Listened to my regular podcasts per usual. I always like to stay up to date with the Insurance Industry. I practiced my presentation in the shower (I know, it’s very bizarre—). Had my morning tea. Did my normal routine. I was ready to rock in roll by 9 o’clock and started door knocking by 10 o’clock. First stop: nice elderly man, but he already had a policy. Wasn’t a big deal, I was just happy that he was kind. Second stop no answer. Third stop not a known address—it went down hill from there. I also was doing dials in between stops and after my scheduled stops. I did not sell a single policy. By 4:00, I felt defeated. how do I go from scheduling appointments in a different state to nothing in my home state. (Country roads, you’re supposed to be taking me home—)

So, I pick my son up from summer camp. Mind you my day has been awful, and I’m sure he seen the look of disappointment on my face. Do you know what this kids says to me?

“Mommy, I passed out some of your business cards.”

Let me tell you the tears started pouring out of my eyes and my heart dropped—

My son is 8 years old, and has supported me and my business since day one. He ask people if they have life insurance, and even helped me put together my website (picked out the colors, helped with logo ideas). I have not had any support, other than him. I am very thankful. He keeps me going.

My son is my reason why. I am not here just to make a quick buck. I am trying to build a legacy. Something I can pass on to my son and so on. I also want to educate and help people, as I build that foundation.

I know there is a reason for everything, and I am still standing. I am not the religious type, but I have been finding myself praying often. I will succeed in this Industry. I might take a beating before I get there, but that is okay. I am a Life Insurance Agent with integrity who is still learning—I’m not a quitter.
