I have a commercial building in a very traveled location . I'm licensed and sell auto for progressive.
The problem is that it's hard to make that jump from a job that pays regular to winging it on insurance.
I don't have another source of income .
How does anyone start this and make it financially?
My building is just sitting there right now and I'm paying rent and lights and heat etc.
I'd much rather be just selling insurance than driving a city bus 8 to 12 hours a day.

Possibly. Send me a message

I get that it is scary to make that jump! I am life and medical insurance licensed and thought about doing that sometime. Are you able to make it as a part time at your current job without it being too strenuous on your budget? If you own it and not ready to make that jump why not lease it to a small business or another licensed professional and make it a team effort?

Hello All!

I currently work as a contracted Operations Manager but I’m in need of something a little more sufficient as far as salary. I have experience in Management both restaurant, healthcare, and I suppose this particular position counts too I just don’t know how to specify it. I really want to get out of the 35-40k salary range and I have the experience to do it just not the degree. I think I suck at interviews too (I get really nervous and start doubting myself). Any tips or suggestions?

Trying to decide on the HDHP Health Insurance. Basic vs. Premium.

What am I missing here. Why would t one not go for basic as you are ahead by about $1K. Any explanations or thoughts?

Hi fishes

Actually there is one management group based in kolkata. They are offering me vendership for call center executive. But they are asking initial 1k per candidates for the insurance purposes. Insurance for assets they are providing like Mobile etc .

But I didn't connected with them via linkdin only. Can I trust them or they might be the fake one. I'm in very big confusion guys. I needed your suggestions.

Thanks in advance
