What were you doing before Symmetry and what was your approximate income?
I was an elementary school teacher making less than $40,000 per year.

What attracted you to Symmetry Financial Group?
The ability to create a strong income AND get time back, based on my own efforts, along with the opportunity to build a long-term system-driven income to create a true legacy for my future generations.

 How has your life changed since joining Symmetry?
My life is RADICALLY different. I work fewer hours and in just 4.5 years since starting with Symmetry, it now only takes me half a week to make what I used to make for an entire month of teaching. It isn't about the amount of money, though. It's about the options. It's about the choices. It's about the reduced stress. It's about the increased fulfillment. It's about the control I have over my future instead of allowing another man or woman to dictate how much my family and I are worth and how we should live.

What opportunities have you been able to do or provide because you started working with Symmetry Financial Group, that you likely would not have done or unable to in another career?
I am finally out of the rat race and can focus on what truly matters in life. I am finally able to spend time developing strong relationships with my family and friends. I am finally able to pick up hobbies I had previously set aside. I am able to make a substantial impact in the lives of clients I protect and the lives of agents I mentor. I am financially able to support 6 different charitable organizations I believe in. I have earned 8 all-expense paid vacations in these first 4.5 years. I am finally able to just pause, and breathe, and truly enjoy this amazing opportunity called life, that I've been blessed with.

What advice do you have for a new agent? 
Embrace these 3 ingredients to success: Massive Action, Constant Correction, and Association. Commit to becoming the most hard-working, coach-able version of yourself possible, plug in to the conference calls and live events every chance you get, and then keep pushing yourself to make your best, better, on a daily basis. When you stay accountable to those 3 commitments, within a few short years you will no longer be able to recognize your income or your lifestyle. It won't be easy, but it will be worth it.

That’s our story.
