How do we get to where we are?
A few years back I got licensed as an insurance agent. I still have not felt like an insurance agent since. I have made calls. I have sat on sales meetings. I have interviewed with many companies both captive and non captive. All the while, not truly realizing I was being initiated into the field of insurance sales.
It has been somewhat of an uphill battle. Yet, having found a foot hold now, I am reminded of why it was I actually got into insurance sales in the first place. For that lets travel back in time to 2012. My buddy Mark, and I, were knee deep in conspiracy theories, UFO sightings, the whole nine. I didn't know it but we were doing what you called nowadays, Redpilling. Or, at least I was. He was my devil's advocate, having already gone through a similar process years prior.
All that being said, I ended up at a junction in life, where truly I felt out of alignment with the system. Now, all jokes aside, much of what I had redpilled on is starting to come to light. The irony being that the once thought crazy topics are now dinner table news. Times change I suppose.
All that aside, I found myself yearning for more freedom. With the food I ate, the news I was consuming, the social media content I was absorbing, the corporations I was supporting. I wanted freedom from all of that in a way that allowed me to maintain sovereignty, all the while choosing to engage when and where I wanted.
I began sculpting my reality based upon choices. I knew that supporting this place over that place would lead to the bucket tipping not mine, nor my neighbors, favor. Then after that phase I came to a deeper sense of peace. That its all messed up, and you cannot spend your life living in fear about which corporation is evil or which politician is straight talking. It is all slightly off MY PERSONAL CENTER, and that is good enough for me.
I lived in fear for a long time about my own freedom. About being locked inside some treacherous game called life, lamenting with my buddy, Mark, about escaping to another planet as respite. That fear based living wore on me. I eventually evolved. Learning to take things as they come and do my best along the way to live sovereign, free, and authentic.
Easier said then done, I know. Yet, my curiosity about taxes, led me to look up corporation classifications. Then I started looking at the IRS tax code a little. Trying to understand in what ways I was tethered to system and how to legally remove myself.
That led to common law trusts, land patents, and life insurance. I came upon this guy named, Hutch. He is still out there. Props to him if he reads this. He was talking about IBC, or, Infinite Banking Concept. How to essentially amass family wealth and transfer that wealth with one life insurance contract.
Did I mention my money timeline has been jacked for years. So I was also seeking ways to maximize the money I was making and turn it into a solid investment. After I found out about the IBC concept, my mind was blown. I was fully wide open to talk about life insurance. The more I dove in to it the more it was such a beautiful piece of legal paperwork.
The many ways 1$ can work for you in a cash value life insurance policy is like jesus working two fish for the crowd. I wanted to beat the system at their game and my god I found it. Life Insurance.
I let that sit and marinate for a year and I eventually took a job as a driver for Amazon. Let me say on a side note, they need to be paid more. I worked peak for them back in '22. At the end of my tenure around March, I found out my manager was leaving to sell final expense.
Then I went into a whole whirlwind about IBC, and breaking out of the matrix with multiple life insurance policies, and freeing your kids from poverty, and she about lost it. I sold her and I wasn't even licensed yet. A few months later I was in her living room dialing aged leads with another partner, living that rookie insurance dream.
Since then I have learned a lot. I have learned you have to be true to you. Selling life insurance was not about a career that I found to somehow complete me, like an artist to the canvas, per se. It was the exact opposite. I am an agent because I was a lover and seeker of freedom first, the career, as they say, found me.
