What is something you have always wanted to do for your family but never had the time or the money for? This is the story of a first client, a first check, and what became possible after that.
Darin Stubbs still remembers his first client, a kind man in Boise who just wanted to make sure his young daughter would be taken care of. Helping that family felt good, and when the policy was approved, it proved something simple. This actually works.
The key is staying consistent, persistent, and disciplined. You will feel fear along the way, but the answer is massive action and constant correction, because action cures fear.
Years later, that discipline turned into a full month on Catalina Island with his kids, grandkids, and his 82 year old mother. Work until four, then watch the sunset on the beach. That is what time and freedom can look like when you build something that is yours.
I still remember my first client like it was yesterday. A kind man in Boise, 52 years old with congestive heart failure and a beautiful 10 year old daughter. He just wanted to know he had enough to cover the funeral and leave her a little to start with. I helped them, and when that policy got approved I checked my bank account and thought, wow, it actually works.
So stay consistent, be persistent, be disciplined. You will feel the fear, but the key is massive action and constant correction, because action cures fear.
One of my favorite places on earth is Catalina Island. My wife reminded me that I always tell people laptop, wifi, cell phone. So we rented a house and stayed a month with our kids, grandkids and my 82 year old mother. We worked until four, then watched the sunset on the beach.
What is something you have always wanted to do for your family but never had the time or money for?
Can you really work from anywhere in this business?
Yes. The work is built around a laptop, wifi, and a phone, so many agents work while they travel or spend extended time with family.
How soon can you start helping clients?
Once you are licensed and trained, you begin meeting with clients and writing policies. Support and mentorship guide you through your first cases.
Is this a good fit for people with families?
Many people choose this path specifically for the flexibility it gives them to be present for their families while building a career.
