New Chapter

Well, the last post was about changes. They were closer than I thought. I made the decision to go back to what I've been good at. I was with Aflac for 9 years and even though I have worked at an agency for over a year, things are very uncertain in the medical field. Carriers (BCBS/Humana/Aetna, etc) haven't decided how they're going to pay agents or IF they'll continue to use agents in the field or not. The funny thing is Aflac and other supplemental companies are not being affected by this new legislation at all. Funny. Sometimes we can look at a decision we've made and go "What the heck was I thinking?", but I think in this case my experience doing what I've done for the last 16 mos has given me invaluable experience to understand aspects of the bill, how it will affect accounts I currently have and what type of insurance would be good for them. Would I have gone to work for the agency if I knew I was leaving 16 mos later? Probably not. Was it the best decision? Maybe. But as with all decisions made and consequences played out I think it was a good one. I am not sure what is coming down the road or why things happen the way they do, but I am back to what I love and back to making my own schedule and working for myself! I really cannot describe the level of relief I felt when I handed in my resignation letter! I am looking forward to my next Aflac chapter (not that the last one ever really ended), but as with everything, I pray I am able to continue to do well and make the right decisions!
