I’m currently homeless as a resident in a shelter, passed my life and disability insurance exam, and legally the shelter counts as an official address, so I’m going through the process of being fully licensed, I’ve worked hard for this opportunity, and I’m going to work even harder now that I have it, I am broke, I am busted, and I’m disgusted of living the way I’ve been, I need a change, it’s time for that change right now, I’ve already got one coworker who’s going through the process too, I’ll be moving in with them soon, and we’ll be getting this done, we’re going to succeed, because we’re not going to give up.
Say goodbye to your weekends as a realtor. NO thanks! I make bank selling insurance online, fully remote and I work when I want, where I want, for however long or short I want (some days it’s 2hrs, some it’s 6+). So it allows time freedom, location freedom and financial freedom. That beats the hell out of being a realtor. I can move anywhere I want and not have to start all over, I make my own schedule, I can work while visiting family or traveling if I choose, and I get paid way more often and regularly than a realtor. And the more I build my book of business, the more passive income I have from residuals (passive income is a GODSEND). That’s my real bread and butter. Im still making full time income from residuals even when I choose to stop working and take some time off. I’ve taken a whole year off from working and was still getting good income every month (from the residuals), more than what a lot of people make hustling 80 hours a week 12 mos a year. And those residuals are for life. I can even pass them on in my will when I go. Insurance is soooo much easier and better. Also, the real estate market is unpredictable and dicey. But society will ALWAYS need health insurance. It’s consistent.
@@Perfectskintoday Medicare and ACA (Obamacare). I may get into final expense at some point, I do have the license but haven’t added it to my products. Medicare and ACA also give you incredible passive income that real estate doesn’t (unless you’re renting out your own properties).
@@vishabrown6556 okay so. you can’t let that stop you or you’ll never do anything in life. If you resisted doing anything you could possibly fail at, that’s a pretty boring existence of zero accomplishments. Failure is just a part of life; it develops us and teaches us and makes us wiser. So you’re nervous. So what? You can do things scared. Just be a grownup and have some grit. Courage isn’t about having no fear. It’s about owning your fear and doing things that scare you anyway….And PS the insurance exams are way easier than the real estate ones.
I’ve been a real estate agent and am now an insurance agent. It’s way harder to start real estate and build up a business. So many hours unpaid and waiting hoping for a sale. I think u can make more when successful as a realtor but insurance is easier to start and will bring income even if u are away. I prefer being in insurance.
@@smolpnut5911 man this is a very very hard time to get into insurance as this is a very hard market with majority of carriers have high loss ratios over 100 and in some cases I’ve heard close to 150. The reinsurance market was hit hard and have increased the carriers we write with’s deductibles and that’s transitioning into high premiums and restricting guidelines. I used to attempt to quote a home and most any carrier I had would write it. Now I get like half the quotes I used to since some carriers aren’t even writing new business. However people still need insurance and everyone is shopping this year because of all of this. So I’m still doing good. Just a lot of work requoting renewals. Hope you enjoy it. If you have the drive to call carriers and educate yourself on insurance and become knowledgeable you will be better than most agents I know. I have found being knowledgeable and helpful have helped me close more sales and retain more business as a lot of agents are just salesman and can’t talk knowledgeably about their own products. Or disappear after the sale. Good luck!
Realtors are generally looked at as the point of contact for most ancillary services, including insurance. If you had both licenses, you could sell Home Owner policies to your clients.
I am an insurance agent (life & health). I'm confused why he said no competition. So many insurance agents. He is right about distinguishing yourself but plenty of agents out there. Insurance has been increasingly commoditized. People just want the most coverage at the lowest price. If you think it's easy from what he is saying, be careful. 92% of insurance agents leave the industry w/in 5 years.
Plenty agents that say the same thing are so predictable and have not changed the way they market / educate their community for the last 50 years. None of our 3,000+ agents ever race to the bottom as a commodity. I'd caution someone reading your statement to be mindful of those that think smaller of their career and those that actually have proof of concept about their successes.
You can get paid the same days as an insurance agent. You provide a product that everyone walking and breathing needs. The opportunities are endless. I love it.
Have my life insurance in Nevada, but quickly realized I am socially challenged and have a hard time talking to people, and since i come from a background of skate boarding parkour and things of that nature, rebranding myself has been hard. lol they dont see Erick the Financial expert they see Erick the skater lol. But I wont let that stop me. Havent closed a single policy yet. but I wont let a slow start stop me.
I’m a health insurance agent for BCBS(blue cross blue shield) and I am loving it, however the state test and requirements are really strict and you will need to pay full attention and study as much as possible. The insurance state test is on the same level or a bit more difficult then the realtor test and a bit lower then the lawyers bar exam from what I hear. During October 15 to December 7th is AEP (annual enrollment period) you can easily clear 45-60k on the low end but during this time you also work 12 hr shifts so your hourly is insane as well.
Some corrections: That AEP is only for Medicare Advantage, not all health insurance (not even all Medicare because medigap supplements can be any time of year). I can clear 90K during the AEP working just 5-8 hours a day during those weeks. It’s not always 12 hrs for everyone. Depends on your business model and marketing. And the state exam not even close to the bar. To even compare is a bit insane. There’s a reason law school is 3 years long. Studying for the state health insurance broker exam takes like a month.
You can't compare a realtor exam or insurance exam to to the bar exam. People go to law school for 3 years before taking the bar (6 full time college semesters). People probably study for a couple of months (1-3) before taking realtor exam or insurance exam. I guarantee you a lawyer could easily pass the exam in 1-3 months. The insurance agent or realtor needs 3 years of law school probably to take the bar.
Took me 3 weeks because I was over stressing and over studying. I have a 2 yr old too. the CA test was only 85 questions and I only missed 6 but my friend did it in a week and still passed missing 13. Anyway, I’m with symmetry rn and it’s okay but the call in leads feel misleading to me. I’ve only written 2 policies since December . Best of luck to anyone reading this. 😊 Thanks for this training session
@@bakewithada I purchase leads through our vendor. $28-$48/lead. Thank goodness I’ve made a few more sales since then to keep up with buying leads each week.
Hi, sorry if this is out of nowhere but I got some questions if you don’t mind it. I’m currently looking for something to do on the side while in college pursuing a Major in Finance. From your experience what do you say are the pros and cons of both. Ik the video already explained some but I wanna know the meat and potatoes of how are the clientele, what are the worst experiences with them, how is your work life balance and such. And secondly which one do you see as more scalable and finally what would you personally choose if you had to restart all your experience and connections and why. Sorry if this is a lot of question. But I just wanna see how someone working in both fields see it. Thank you for reading this and have a great day.
Non-captive agents are the way to go! Want the best term or permanent polices? I got you, which one?! Best industry & getting paid twice a week is a nice plus!
@@REeLFUNNYsHortSs Study and take as many practice exams as you can! That’s what helped me I have life and health as well as P&C. Use those practice tests!

So many agencies are looking for agents and post jobs all the time. Find a good one with training and support and good split. I’d go the independent non captive route as well.
I would rather be ME! I don't want to sell anyone anything for the purpose of lining my pocket, but rather be a solution to whatever problem they may have! The greatest business is one that the customer seeks you rather than you seeking the customer!
That's why life insurance is the best option. All of my clients reach out to me. That's the only way I get to speak with them. Life insurance is essential. It's a product that you either need And want and can afford or you don't. No hassle or haggle. I only provide this valuable service to those who need it.. hands down the best carrier.. especially if you want to build wealth..
Hahahaha...no competition. You high homie. There's a lot of competition in the insurance industry. Now, granted only really at the higher level. Lot of chumps out there selling tiny policies.
The reason there’s not a lot of competition is most people who enter the industry where whole life is sold realize they’re ruining people’s financial lives and leave. Insurance is one of the highest turnover industries out there because it’s typically unethical and overpriced.
