Every year, I am reminded why I am in the insurance industry. Our company does a BBQ for the insurance carriers we represent. We have about 200 attendees who enjoy an evening of cocktails, appetizers, dinner, and dancing. As I looked across the event, I realized that I love being in insurance and love the people I deal with. They are genuine people. Sometimes the work is not easy, but when we get together it is fun, relaxing, and we realize we are all in this together. I always try to get to know someone better that I work with. Once I have a more personal relationship with our carriers, it makes the hard work a little easier to deal with.
Last year, I decided to learn to golf, so I could golf for work. There are several opportunities to golf with insurance carriers and vendors. I would much rather have a golf meeting rather than an office meeting. Those business opportunities presented on the golf course are usually better and stronger than just a meeting in the office. Golf provides several hours of discussions, sometimes about golf, sometimes about business. I hope to do more business meeting golf. Did I tell you, I love my job?
