Check the Box
1 brave thing: Start Continuing Education
Part of my work launching Bull Benefits requires continuing education credits to be a licensed producer. This allows me to consult business owners on their employee benefits. I love consulting, strategizing, and making positive change. I do not love insurance. So there is some natural tension here. I needed a brave moment (for months now) and finally started my continuing education class.
Why this matters. Legally I cannot do the job role of “broker of record” without this designation and ongoing education.
Deadlines matter. When we have hard deadlines like those set be the Department of Insurance, it certainly shows how our behaviors are influenced. I think this is why journaling, setting goals, and having a purpose in life are so important. If we don’t set deadlines we default to the “standard life” deadlines which is no fun.
Sometimes being brave is just checking off the box.
