Millionaire Insurance Producer

Excuses, Excuses, Excuses

Listen Later

Excuses never made anyone any money. People who go bankrupt always have an excuse as to why. Salespeople who don't win an account always have an excuse for their failure. That goes for insurance producers as well. There are reasons and excuses for all failures. But insurance agents who hold onto excuses are the ones who live paycheck to paycheck. 


In this episode of the Millionaire Insurance Producer podcast, host Charles Specht will teach you how to eliminate excuses, how to execute a plan, and how to set S.M.A.R.T. goals that achieve success.

    • Key Quotes:

    • "A lack of prospects in the pipeline, a lack of execution on the actual prospecting activity will cause you to starve. Period." - Charles Specht
    • "The problem, however, is that we have a vast amount of times throughout the year where we do not take action. There's no execution. - Charles Specht
    • "If you begin to execute, rather than have excuses, you're probably going to be much more likely to succeed, not merely in the long term, but also right now in the short term." - Charles Specht
