Since I'm on life support (sleep apnea machine) usually no. But I'm there when I need to be.
Don't ever take a good night's sleep for granted. I went about 5-years without one.

Yessir. Company expanded a bit. Now they do mail order, medical bill assist, and tele-med as well.

Agents fail in this business for 3 main reasons:
1) Bad Work Ethic. Bad time management and lack of productivity is the biggest reason people fail. I don't think this can be taught. You either have it or you don't. This is the LAZY factor!
2) Too much outside interference. If you had a regular 9-5 you wouldn't miss work very often for kids being sick, someone needing a ride, family in town, etc, etc. You'd get fired. Treat being an agent the same way because otherwise the flexibility kills you.
3) Bad money management. Don't save for taxes and don't plan for the ups and downs. The agent has a $20,000 month and they start living like that's a guarantee every month. Then they make $1,500 the next month and they're in deep ****. I've seen agent make 6-figures and still fall out of the business because of this.

by looking at Nancy's avatar, its looks like she may be a recruiter at a local "rah rah" FMO here in florida. I have known agents to work at her company, and havent heard many good things about it. They sell the Kool Aid to agents, and they sell a lot of it...
