Some people are never satisfied being an employee, no matter how high the position. These people are ambitious - they want the finer things in life, authority, power - but they also have drive, which is the willingness to do whatever it takes to reach their goals.

Are you one of these people? Are you counting the days until you have saved enough to set off on your own instead of working for someone else?

If you have enough knowledge and experience in the field of insurance, this is an excellent time to start your own agency and succeed.
