OK guys I have been watching over these threads here from quite some time now. Like the title says it am switching careers and getting into insurance specifically medicare supplements and life insurance. I have always been a w2 employee and hourly, my wife and I are very nervous about taking the leap to 1099 commission only and not just straight commission but advanced commission so charge backs are possible too. Everybody I have talked to in the insurance field says that it is the best life decision they have ever made, but they have also been selling insurance for years.
My biggest issue is I have a family and debt and everything else just like a normal person if not worse, are we gonna starve while getting started in this business? My wife stays at home with the kids and does not work. I have a great work ethic and enjoy working so I'm planning on jumping into it head first and busting ass but we just can't loose the nervousness feeling of leaving an hourly job to commissions

I guess I forgot to ask a question in the last post. What do I do to ease the nervousness and what are the chances of actually succeeding without starving at first
