You Can Follow Your Passion After You Build The System

And this is really important for everyone to realize that when you're going throughout life, the deeper you go, the more you get out of it.

Because I

think so many people

go to a service level and they don't realize it, that you're wearing your one hat, which is like, I'm an insurance producer.

And then you got your other hat, which is like, I'm a magician, not a magician, a musician.

And then the other hat is, hey, I can actually start being an agency owner.

And most of us don't see that path because we're just like, I just need money to live.

Oh, yeah, for sure, man.

It was, for me, it's like, I've always wanted to like follow my passion, right? Which has always been music.

But for some reason, I've never really like, I mean, I used to practice five, six hours a day sometimes, right? But I was, I was surrounded by people who wanted, who were playing music and all this stuff.

And I mean, just playing with some of the best, right? Just some really good players.

But I was just, you know, it was tough for me because I wanted to have a family.

I wanted to have a nice lifestyle.

And it's hard, you know, music is a hard business to be in.

And it's changed so much with Spotify and all the new things.

You know, there's a reason why Guns N' Roses is on the road right now.

You know, I'm not able to, you know, they're making plenty of money, I'm sure, but... you know it's a little harder to make a good living in the music business nowadays or at least a good passive income right and so I just love this idea of building a business and building a passive revenue and then being able to have the things for my family that they need that they want to have right take the trip to Disney World if we want to without even thinking about it you know buying a new house if we need one putting the private school you know whatever we decide we want to do right so So it was kind of like I was sort of trading something.

I had music going on.

I was writing business, but I wasn't really getting this thing off the ground.

I wasn't really able to build.

And then COVID happened.

And so COVID was an eye-opener.

We switched to doing 100% virtual.

All of our clients are now virtual.

I've got a virtual office.
