Before I entered the insurance industry I worked in sales for the natural product industry. Vitamins, and herbs and lots of things on the fringe of health and nature. We had two big shows each year, one on the East coast in the fall and one in Anaheim California in the Spring. In any small industry you find friends and develop traditions and this was no different. I have a friend in LA that would come to the show and bring me kumquats from her back yard. Fresh kumquats are crazy good.
They are sweet and tart all at the same time, the little fruits look like grape sized oranges with very thin skins which are edible and in fact the sweetest part of the fruit. Since I left that industry I've gotten a couple of shipments from LA and this year one of those amazing shipments arrived bringing great joy to me (mostly me cause I'm the only one that really likes them that much in my family).
My buddy grows these wonderful little fruits in her back yard and when I get them I make jellies, pickles and candies from them and ship some of those goodies back to LA. This is a good life example, we all do what we do. I don't try to build houses and my carpenter friends don't try to offer life insurance. In the same way my LA kumquat connection doesn't try to make kumquat pickles and I don't try to grow the tropical fruit in Indiana.
We all have special skills and we should accept that in some areas we need an expert to guide us. If you're not an insurance agent you should find one that understands your business, home and life so that they can tell you want you need. Don't try to figure it out yourself to save a dollar with some online company. Get a real live person that you can trust and talk to who doesn't have a strange accent.
