We all want easy success. We all want to "do it our way." And, if we're honest, in our quest for easy success, we fall into some habits that hurt us when times get challenging—like now.
In fact, now is one of the most confusing times ever for agents. Why? Because the majority of them came into the business when the business was going "gangbusters." They didn't have to generate leads, they didn't have to create follow-up systems, and they didn't have to contact old customers to make a decent living. In short, the business tricked them into thinking they didn't have to adopt best practices. It was just too easy to make a buck.

The CRB courses have changed how we analyze our books, agents and long-term retirement plans. They allowed us to pull ourselves out of potential financial ruin and create systems that even my tax accountant has been impressed by.
