Good bye 2009 - Hello 2010
Although 2009 was a year of change (as they all are)...it was a strangely difficult year in many ways. The economy has not been stellar, and jobs have not been plentiful...however, in the midst of all this - we can always find something good happening (if only we look for it).
I have been been fortunate to make new friends in 2009 - I have been given the opportunity to share my crazy passion for insurance (of all things) with many new B&B owners this year! When I started in the insurance business in 19xx (ok...so it was 24 years ago), I initially declined the interview because to a 20 year old "insurance is boring..." I basically agreed to an interview because my friend (who was placement coordinator and in charge of finding students jobs) would not let me get out of it.
I was in for a big surprise.... I get to shop EVERY day (I have several companies that I submit business to) and find the best deals - what could be better? I get to meet new people, and hear about their life experiences...I get to hear ghost stories (I am fascinated, but afraid at the same time)!!! I really enjoy talking with my customers and helping them understand why they need certificates of insurance, or why they need commercial insurance rather than a personal insurance policy. In my 24 years, I have seen many really STRANGE claims...and met some very fascinating people. In short, the insurance life is anything BUT boring.
I am looking forward to 2010 - I'm sure there are new things in store for us all. Enjoy each day - it truly is a new blessing, and a new adventure...and I am ready to get started!!! I wish you all a Happy, Safe, and Prosperous NEW YEAR.
