Let's face it: we encounter a lot of rejection in this business, and it can start to feel personal. If you're obsessed with the tangible proof of success - that is, your commission - you're going to be more susceptible to rejection because you've made your job all about you.

April 24, 2006"Jordan is a life insurance man through and through. The gist of what he said last year as I remember it is how important it is to live a life of significance and that the work agents do in providing protection for families is indeed significant.
"There's a kind of circularity here. If agents got back in touch with indentifying the emotional reasons for clients to buy insurance, then more would buy, and the more that bought, the better agents would feel because they would be able to see more and more clearly the significance of what they do."

"It’s your responsibility—it should be your mission - to speak with as many people as you can about their life insurance needs. You must speak for those who are not present [during] the sales process—the children, family and employees of your clients. You live a life of significance because you speak on their behalf." More

Nuggets of MDRT Wisdom by Maggie Leyes
"True value is not measured by how much money you make, it’s measured by the size of the problem that you can solve. And you tell me what profession solves bigger problems than this, who protects the innocent if someone dies prematurely, who guarantees a worry-free retirement with income they can’t outlive, who protects their assets if they get sick, and finally, legacy when they die. Only you can do all of that. And you tell me that that’s not a life of significance."
