I can give you all the tools, I can give you everything that you need to do, if you will, to make that leap to make that jump...But, you have to step off the plane.” - Charles Specht “You'll make enough money to pay the electric bill, to pay the rent, or the mortgage or whatever it is. And you know what? Maybe every once in a while, go out to a nice little restaurant with your wife and your kids, and so forth. But, you're not going to build wealth.” - Charles Specht “I have had a chance to talk with lots of different insurance agents. They message me on LinkedIn, they call me, they shoot me an email, whatever it is. I have a chance to talk to a bunch of the vast majority of them out there. I know their problems could be solved, if they would simply start thinking bigger.” - Charles Specht Resources Mentioned: Reach out to Charles Specht Permission Network Insurance Agency, Inc.
