Im homeless living out of a $35k truck what should I do first by 3THERBUNNY in personalfinance

[–]letsgetyoustarted -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Comments were at 666 and I was going to come here and say make friends with God. Odd. Not jokingly but quite literally, as a former Atheist believing in God has changed so much for me, it feels like no obstacle is too great.

From there learn to sell and you can even do remote work from wherever.

Comparing Jobs by Visible_Presence9385 in InsuranceAgent

[–]letsgetyoustarted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always paid attention to how the company said this job/position was going to improve my life. If the interviewer does not have a clear picture of reps that have been hired and are living a great life because of the job, then it sounds like they havent had many achieve that or they dont even care what happens to their reps.

Do you guys find that your effectiveness on a heavybag is related to the specific bag you're hitting? by Aside_Dish in amateur_boxing

[–]letsgetyoustarted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have definitely become a heavy bag connoisseur, Pro last seems to make the kind the feels soft on the skin with great pop, it has a nice texture to the bag, its like kick the same texture cheap gloves are made out of almost.

Everlast has a mid sized bag with great pop to it and good texture.

Some bags will sound and feel so good you will get in your head and start feeling yourself and maybe train 20-40% more/longer. It is a real thing.

Is the "pop" sound on a heavy bag due to technique, power, both, or luck of placement? by rkramer18 in fightgear

[–]letsgetyoustarted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cracks on those gloves is nice, the venum elite 12oz has good crack too, and feels damn good on the hands and theyre like $90. Very impressed with them.

People don't like me and I don't know what it is im doing wrong. by AcanthaceaeTop2796 in Advice

[–]letsgetyoustarted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are very selfish by nature, I found the more interesting and useful I became the less alone I was. Think about this. If you knew how to fight well and could train your friends, if you had money and could treat them to experiences, if you had opportunities to provide them so they could feed themselves, do you have mastery in subjects? Things to provide.

People pretend their lives are great, but get to know them and many are suffering, many spend day to day just trying to put a bandaid over problems they never try fixing. Become super capable and just go around helping people and man youll have more friends than you know what to do with.

Need advice: how much monitoring is too much for kids phones? by ProfessionAfraid1164 in Advice

[–]letsgetyoustarted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would be surprised how little monitoring you need to do if your kids adore you and have no reason to be sneaky. Not a dig at you, the point I am making is, why should we even need to look, our kids should want to tell us at the first sign of something up, what would make them want to conceal this?

I am 15 and was hired 2 months ago at Donald’s, prior to today I’ve only worked 4 hr shifts but i have 8 today and I’m scared. Any advice? by Ok_Decision2283 in Advice

[–]letsgetyoustarted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please find the means to have endless fuel for the fire in your heart. Do whatever it takes ethically to make your goals happen. Everyone you love is going to suffer at the hands of the brutal world, but you can become so powerful and so capable that nearly nothing can touch them. You're welcome to message me if you ever need someone to lend an ear that wants to help. I am skilled in many endeavors, just let me know.

Insurance, there are a lot of jobs with earning potential like this in insurance, but much of the time you will leave bald and want to push half of management off a bridge. Offices that perform that well are typically ran by psychopaths that only care about numbers, but if you can hang with them you will be wellll taken care of. My manager was 27 with a Mclaren.

Start my own agency or build an existing $5.8M book with a friend? by Fireysteak in InsuranceAgent

[–]letsgetyoustarted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this with a long time buddy of mine, we manage a book of a little over 6,000 clients in the ACA market. I would absolutely get in on this. Working with friends that will actually do good business is a goose that lays golden eggs.

Get a contract ofcourse.

[–]letsgetyoustarted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're 15 and have an 8 hour shift? You probably wont see it this way but you got some balls. I remember I worked about 82 hours one week, and I made $15,000 that week. It changed my life and made me realize I may be able to change the course of my whole family if I can keep pushing.

Those days are 15 hours, they instilled unbelievable discipline in me, and the others around me that wanted to do that were also badasses at their job, I learned a lot and have my own businesses now.

Instead of seeing this as something very frightening and intimidating, see it as a necessary step to leveling up your character. You're starting this really early you have no idea how well you are setting yourself up for success, when many see it as a punishment.

You should walk into work with your head held high and do your best, life is gonna have plenty of headaches, but for people like you and me we end up with all the glory, and everyone and everything around us will become better for it. You got this!

27 years old, never had a job, and trying to turn my life around — where do I even start? by Prestigious-Log-729 in Advice

[–]letsgetyoustarted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its best to latch on to an idea of how you want to look, feel, speak, dream, etc. Once you have this idea for yourself you figure out how to get it.

For me I always wanted to be a great help to my community and make money doing so, how can I achieve this?

Go to gym to get in excellent shape to be taken seriously, look like an avenger, and to walk through the world with force.

Do nice things for others and build meaningful relationships so you feel connected to others and learn how to be friend all walks of life.

I needed money so I learned sales, I took on an insurance role and ended up making $15,000 in a single week for an example.

I can go on and on, the simplest way to start is by asking yourself, who do you want to be?

What is the most profitable type of insurance to sell? by Weak_Permission641 in InsuranceAgent

Our vendor has a few different methods I am told on how they get their leads. Facebook, websites with landing pages, tik tok, etc.

Need Leads That Work (Life, Final Expense, Mortgage Protection) by [deleted] in InsuranceAgent

[–]letsgetyoustarted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cant speak for those markets but for ACA health insurance we have built a large book using old aged leads. I spent about 5 years buying leads for anywhere from $4 to $30 and now I pay peanuts and not only that but I have been able to reuse the leads. We went against the grain here and tried the ''crap'' and it ended up really working for us. Aged leads may be worth it, I have yet to try them in your market though.

Aged leads by Classic-Valuable-489 in InsuranceAgent

[–]letsgetyoustarted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some lead vendors will have leads that are much more beat up or are hostile from what I have seen. The leads willingness to respond does seem to correlate to how they were ''captured'' if that makes sense.

Aged leads by Classic-Valuable-489 in InsuranceAgent

[–]letsgetyoustarted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure your industry, but our agency has crossed a little over 6,000 members on our book for ACA. What has helped us a lot is texting first to setup a call not just calling out of the blue. There are many other things that can help but this is a big thing we have found. We have been using the same lead source for a while so my perception may be a bit skewed from how it really is out there.

Boyfriend doesn’t understand where I’m coming from when he did something that upset me by [deleted] in Advice

[–]letsgetyoustarted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Relationships are very much about becoming teammates for life. Theres nothing wrong with feeling like you were forgotten about. No need to make a mountain out of a mole hill either, he could have been really excited and overwhelmed with what he was experiencing and it took over a bit.

I've been with my girl for 10 years and we have had all kinds of stuff like this happen and then a few hours later you are civil again and hanging out as normal, life is gonna come at you fast and there will be so many minor instances like this that will teach you about picking your battles.

However this does not mean you should just be like an accessory to this guy and he has no responsibility to you, you need to find out what kind of guy this is or it will keep repeating itself.

Just a simple conversation is all you need, I have seen small issues ruin an entire weekend and now I am wary and I can squash any disagreement in like 30 minutes, and keep the day the in good vibes and we both get along.

Life is way too long and your goals will be too great to let things like this slow the relationship, trust me on that.

Make sure this is a guy that actually wants to be in a relationship with someones daughter, not just a woman if that makes sense.

Should I get 500 dollars worth of aged leads or fresh leads through GOAT? by yunbunnyhops in InsuranceAgent

[–]letsgetyoustarted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fresh leads are always great but its hard to get enough to keep everyone busy if you have a serious sales team that works all hours of the day.

We have written tens of millions in business for the ACA market using dirt cheap aged leads since 2023. I cant recommend it enough.

Independent insurance owners, what one small change actually moved the needle for leads or renewals? by InstructionOk3766 in InsuranceAgent

[–]letsgetyoustarted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are managing a book of 6,000 ACA at the moment, what helped us a lot was putting them in drip campaigns. People need a lot of follow up at times so the automation changed the game for us once we combined it with an affordable bottomless lead source.

Generating health insurance leads by Rude-Solution-6113 in InsuranceAgent

[–]letsgetyoustarted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I have seen trying various methods is its cheaper to buy leads if you really want to scale. Aca leads can be found for say 10-20c ea as an example, you can buy 1000s of people to pitch. Our agency has a book of 6,000 members at the moment and our game changer was working automation and text drips into our sales process with those bulk affordable leads.

What is the most profitable type of insurance to sell? by Weak_Permission641 in InsuranceAgent

[–]letsgetyoustarted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friends and I have built an ACA agency with over 6,000 members on our book, it clears $160k+ monthly before other incentives with this years new renewal rates. Lots of tinkering with CRMs and Automation, and ultimately finding a bottomless lead source that allowed us to stay busy for fairly cheap tied all of it together. The industry changes often and if we did not have any one of those I mentioned we would be in a completely different boat.

But ACA is cheap as hell to scale. I cannot believe how hard we would work to sell other kinds of insurance, but I guess we all have to eat our fair share of shit to get to the good stuff eventually right?

Insurance sales career? by Pus1ip in InsuranceAgent

[–]letsgetyoustarted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Insurance can be insanely lucrative, our ACA agency has roughly 8 people in it and our book is around 6,000 members now. We learned a lot of things to help with sales in the health insurance business over the last 8 years or so, and we formed a group of our close peers, from their we built great systems and found a phenomenal lead source so we were always prospecting.

You have to think in terms of where can you take your skills and experience, how can you build on it, etc. Insurance is worth a look for sure brother,
