In the world of life insurance, the message is clear: hard work pays off. Long hours, relentless prospecting, and pushing through rejection are all part of the journey to success.
But here’s a truth we often forget, success is not only about how hard you work;
it’s also about how well you recover.
If you want to perform at your best for the long haul, you need to recharge. Taking time out isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity.
1. To Prevent Burnout
Life insurance is a high-stakes, emotionally demanding business. Without rest, exhaustion creeps in, draining motivation and performance.
2. To Sharpen the Saw
As Stephen Covey taught, you can’t cut wood with a dull blade. Rest and recreation sharpen your mind, creativity, and ability to serve clients effectively.
3. To Gain Fresh Perspectives
Some of your best sales ideas won’t come at your desk, they’ll come while you’re relaxed, traveling, or simply away from the daily grind.
4. To Model Balance for Clients
Clients respect advisors who live balanced lives. By showing that you value health and renewal, you strengthen your credibility as a guide to financial security and overall well-being.
