basically do you have any reserves that can cushion things while you learn?
NYL is a good company with great training. But it is like jroot mentioned. I spent a decade with them. I came in without a natural market at age 30. I didn't have a natural market because most of the people I knew had good insurance already. It wasn't like my friends and family were waiting for me to enter insurance so they could buy....
If you don't have a natural market, then you have to look at lead services or other ways to get infront of people. I had success at tradeshows and fairs as I am very low key. These type of events would put me infront of alot of people for short introductions. I did women's shows.. one example had around 50,000 visitors over 3 days. I would come away with 500 leads (one of four agents working) to work for the next month on.... We gave away a gift certificate and had a short questionare for insurance interests(life, health, pc(sell to pc agent), investment). With the right guys you work your ass off and will sell about 50-75 policies out of those 500 leads. Make your money back plus. Very hard but fun work... usually didn't feel my feet until the 5th martini post show.
Anyway, anything's posible, but this is a business that doesn't always do or act like you want it to. You could come out of the gate and do great, you could fail doing exactly the same things. How's your Karma?
Good luck.
