If you want to get into insurance, you can, especially when you get involved with a company like Secure American Insurance, because they have a fairly easy process for people of all ages and backgrounds.” Looking to the Future As Mike looks ahead, he’s excited about the possibilities his career with Secure American Insurance offers. He’s considering ways to involve his son in the business and exploring options for eventually transitioning his book of business to a family member or friend when or if the time comes that he wants or needs to do so. The knowledge that Secure American Insurance will work with him on this aspect and that he can continue to work for as long as he wants provides peace of mind and opens up possibilities for the future. “I plan to work for a long time—probably until they put me in a coffin, as I enjoy the personal aspect of it,” Mike said. “Even if I’m 70 or 75, I can still do this because it’s not physically strenuous. But we’ve started considering options for who would take over my book of business in the future just to be prepared.” For those considering becoming an independent insurance agent or looking to grow their agency, Mike’s story is a powerful example of how the industry can

The lifestyle changes we’ve been afforded because of the financial comfort we’ve gained through Secure American Insurance are huge. We’ve moved into a bigger home, traveled more, and provided better for our family. But, more importantly, my stress level is much lower now than when I was a coach and golf professional. I’m comfortable with where I am financially, and if I make more next year, great! If not, I’m still happy and secure. The freedom and flexibility that Joe and Caitlin give make all the difference in allowing me to focus on what matters most—my family and my clients.” ●
