Welcome back to another exciting episode of the Life Insurance Academy Podcast! 
In this episode, we dive deep into the real challenges of the life insurance business. Inspired by our recent episode where Chris and Roger discussed “Seven Reasons Why You Shouldn't Become a Life Insurance Agent,” we tackle the significant hurdles new agents face.
 
Did you know a study from Harvard and Yale found that 92% of people die with their dreams unfulfilled? That staggering statistic mirrors the life insurance industry's success rate, where 92% of agents fall out. Why? We explore this today, discussing both internal and external obstacles.
 
Internal obstacles like self-doubt, fear of failure, limiting beliefs, procrastination, lack of self-discipline, and negative self-talk can derail even the most determined agents. On the external side, we face logistical challenges, health issues, external responsibilities, financial constraints, and an unsupportive environment.
 
Our discussion today aims to help you identify these obstacles, learn how to navigate them, and ultimately become one of the successful 8%. Remember, overcoming obstacles requires resilience. Push through your fears, and take away their power to control your destiny.
