Brand newto site and industry

Hello Everyone,
I'm very new to the industry,I havent gotten my licensce yet, and I'm learning about alot of different tools used to obtain leads and build a business. But as I read through some posts I see some talk about genertating my own marketing machine. So my first question would be quite frankly what is that and how is it started?

Another subject i wanted to bring up is training. My friend that I'm starting inot this with is fairly new to the business himself therefore i can only look to him for guidance but so far. I live in Baltimore, Md and Healthagent's association IHIAA looks like a good start for support and training. has anyone else used his services or knows of any other services that can be used for this previously stated need.

My last request is for advice. I have a full time day job and attend school so my time is limited when it comes to working leads. With moderate success being my immediate goal and hopefully switching my full time job to a part time position at some point. Is it possible to slowly build a business with these time contraints.
I will say that I am very committed to building this business and having it replace my current job completely.

Any and all advice is welcome. I thank all those that respond in advance.

I think you will have a difficult time doing this part-time if you want to sell health insurance. First, most prospects will want to talk during the daytime hours, tough to do if you have a daytime job. Second, its tough to make it unless you jump into the water head first. If you have a company offering advances, you know how and are willing to do what it takes to find prospects, and have even moderate sales skills or work with someone that does, you will be fine.

Before jumping ship, make sure you can make it on emergency reserves for a while and learn as much about the business, especially prospecting and marketing, as you can before jumping in.
