Spending your entire career at one company was once the thing to do. It was stable. You had a pension. You were respected for your loyalty to the company.

Do you mentor and guide other women without regard for how it could help you? Do you share your wisdom or keep it guarded for fear of someone one-upping you?

Having worked with many different producers in my underwriting days, and along side many others when I became a producer myself, I've come to realize there are essentially 2 types of people:

Insurance can feel like the wild west at times. Some of the stuff I have seen and stories I've heard lately.... I'm dumbfounded.

"SALES" makes many (dare I say, most?) people cringe. 😬

If you're a producer not focused on selling by BOR, you're making life way harder than it needs to be.

One of the best bosses I ever had gave me the boot - for my own good.

In my underwriting days, I worked with one of the very best underwriting assistants I've ever seen.

I almost didn't start my business. I decided to quit my job and do this nearly a year before I actually did.

This morning as I stood at my kitchen sink, I looked out and saw a parent wrangling 2 tiny children into the car.

Being an insurance producer is a great gig, but make no mistake - the highs are high and the lows are low.

If you're struggling to move forward in the process after speaking with recruiters/hiring managers, it's likely not for the reasons you think.
