PMA - New Job

As some of you know, I recently was offered a position with Combined insurance.  The process to getting to where I need to be to start working in the field has been a short but intense one.  After my initial interview, I had the opportunity to have a day long ride-along with an agent.  This gave me the confidence to say "I can do this".  This was on a Friday.  On the next Monday I made the final commitment to the job, and the path that it would take me on.  The next step was to study hard in a pre-licensing course online for roughly a week and a half.  Then on Tuesday, May 22nd, I took my state licensing exam.  I was confident until halfway through the exam, and then my confidence started to waiver...but I finished the exam with an 86!  Thursday the 24th I went for my fingerprinting and applied for my Producer's license.  Ont the 25th I left for a week at the beach.  I got home on June second and flew out to sales school in Chicago on June third.  I'm a week into the two week program, and I have confidence that I made the right decision.  My last job was very negative, and made me miserable, as many of you know.  This job promises to be a positive experience...if I have the right attitude.

Combined is founded on the principle of PMA...Positive Mental Attitude.  What we are learning are not only the skills we will need to succeed in insurance sales, but also the tools and skills to succeed in life.  We are focused on setting goals and having not only the skills and knowledge to attain them, but also the belief that we can.  We are being shown that having the right mental attitude in any given situation or environment is key.  These are concepts that I've for a long time known, and oft times practice, so it is reinforcing the beliefs that I already have.  But how amazing is it that a company builds itself upon these concepts and beliefs?!  I am in such an environment of encouragement and support!  This company invests itself in you, and your success.  I feel so fortunate to have this opportunity, and I will keep you posted on my progress and success.
