A timely thread. I'm still on track to make more than I ever have, but the emotional stress has been tough.

My goal is roughly $4k/week and I keep 100% of first year premium. I'm a total noob, know-nothing, but have busted my ass and averaged about $3k/week over the last few mos. Last week I wrote $0 on Monday, $1000 on Tues. and $0 on Wed. and Thurs. Friday I rented a car to drive out to the far frontier (look up Tonopah, AZ). With two leads left to go, I door knocked a house I had called a few times before months earlier. The guy had hung up on me twice. I door knocked him about six weeks ago and his wife blew me off at the door. It was on my route, so I DK'ed them again. I talked my way in and spent two hours there, walked out with $3500 in premium. I had one lead left to go before meeting Mrs. Lee for dinner. I DK'ed that one, really not caring if they even answered. Wrote her for $450 and so ended up with about $5k for the week.

Yesterday was at-home/admin/paperwork day. Today the big deal from Friday called to cancel everything. He/she have no idea what they're doing and I was fixing a huge problem for them. May still turn it around, but it's a giant loss for me. This job is an emotional rollercoaster.
