 My name is Eric the John. I'm based out of Tampa, Florida And I sell final expense and life insurance primarily a person nation has been an incredible experience thus far You know literally a life-changing experience. I mean if you're on the verge of quitting there, you know Just feeling down in the dumps. I mean first things first you got a you got to have positive self-talk I know that can be difficult Especially if you're struggling but you know get into an event like this and listen into a guy like Charlie Or a guy like coach Burt someone who's super motivational and can just lay out You know this is what you need to do in order to succeed and then on top of that the best part about this is You get to meet so many people that you can partner up within this business that are more than willing to help and a lot of times That's all it takes is you know just being partnered up with the right people I was talking to Cody last night. I said, you know your retreat was unreal This is like your retreat on steroids You get to come to this place and meet so many people who are so successful and you just get to pick their brains and get All these nuggets to add to to your repertoire. I would just describe it as a massive gathering of The most hungry ambitious successful monsters in one room and Sometimes that's all it really takes to to really you know go north with your business That's what it was for me partner up with Cody and Landon and from there, you know my business has has Has grown enormously compared to what it was and it's just because I wasn't partnered up with the right people And I would have never met them if I never came to stuff like this or to the retreat And so you really got to get yourself out there and network and and build relationships with people I can't wait to come back I was I've been talking to guys from this conference And I'm like how cool would it be if there was a conference like this every weekend to just hang out with people like you It's so difficult to find like-minded people especially in this business where all most of us are independent So you know when you're working your business You're kind of alone and to be able to surround yourself with like-minded people who you can you know You can add a social event talk about business You don't really get to do that at home most of the time at least for me So I'm coming to this thing forever. I can't wait and you know I wish that there was something like this literally every weekend or like once a month now, so it's unbelievable
