Hey, what’s going on? Rich here with Summit Life Group. Here we are in the middle of the holiday season, as I’m recording this between Thanksgiving and Christmas. This is the time when so many agents take off or wait to get started. They say, “I’ll get started after the holidays,” or “I’ll get back to it after the holidays.” I just want to encourage you to maintain your activity and momentum through the holidays.
We actually had one of our biggest weeks of the entire year last week in December, setting the pace approaching Christmas—right between Thanksgiving and Christmas—when so many people are taking time off. This is the time to set the pace, keep the momentum, and finish the year strong. The year is not over. If you had goals for 2024, remember, the year is not over. Run to the finish line as hard as you can.
Hey, listen, we all want to enjoy the holidays—enjoy Christmas, enjoy Thanksgiving (which, of course, has already passed), and enjoy the New Year—but stay in the game. Most people with jobs don’t take the entire month off, right? If you owned a restaurant, you wouldn’t shut down for the last three weeks or the final month of the year. You’d go out of business. So, as an independent life insurance agent, I challenge you to stay in the game, whether you’re part-time or full-time.
I know if you’re part-time, it might be easy to say, “Hey, I’ll just push it to the side and get started next year.” But that’s what average agents do. Don’t be average. Average agents fail and don’t make any money. If you want to be part of what we call “above average,” then remember—the enemy is average. Fight against that. Run hard for your goals, don’t slow down, and keep the momentum going. This is the time to create momentum going into 2024, so you can have your best year ever in this business.
I just want to give you some encouragement. If you’re an independent agent out there, keep running, keep hitting it hard, and let’s finish the year strong. Let’s go into 2024 with momentum.
