One day in March of 2019, I found myself out of a job. I was extremely unhappy because my foundation, my core, my belief was shaken up. Growing up as a child, I always admired my dad for his integrity. When there wasn’t a babysitter around for those “no school days”, I got to join my dad at the office. I watched him go about his day at the office with his staff and saw how he treated and respected the people that worked for him, but equally saw how much his staff respected him as well. He never asked them to waiver on their integrity, never asked them to lie for him or cover his tracks. Over the years, I knew he had instilled that same level of integrity in me and had prepared me for my own journey into adulthood. As I entered my career into construction, project management, IT, and eventually into marketing (all male-dominated industry), I realized that I loved my job, but I did not love my boss, the long hours, or the “happy hour” events that happened multiple nights during the week that went well into the wee hours of the night. I knew I was meant for something better. I knew that this was not the life that God had designed or intended for me. Because my moral compass did not agree with my direct boss nor the President of the company, my last “corporate” real world job ended abruptly. At first, I had gone through all of the emotions of anger, hurt, bitterness, and even shed a few tears, but these were not tears of sadness of losing a job, these were tears of joy, actually. I felt like a HUGE weight had been lifted off my shoulders and I could breathe and be me again. I had no backup plan and had no clue of what I was going to do next but in my heart, I had a peace (even though I was an emotional wreck on the outside). I had called my husband and shared with him what had happened but did not really go into a lot of details, but I knew I was going to be OK.
Now, rewind back to November 2018. I had already begun getting my “feelers” out to see what was out there. I knew I did not want to continue down the same path and I could not go back into the corporate world because I was burnt out, overworked, underutilized, undervalued, and unappreciated, but most of all, just mentally abused. It took me some time to accept and realize that I was worthy and deserved something better. Ironically, I had applied for a job with Symmetry Financial Group for a “Business Development” position back in November 2018 but when I realized it was a 1099 position and in insurance, my immediate thought was, “nope, not for me, I can’t survive on 100% commission”. So I managed to trudge along through the holidays through March of 2019 and then hit the brick wall (which, I needed to hit whether I realized it or not). Fast forward to March 2019, I am out of the corporate world, tell my team I am leaving, call my husband and tell him I do not have a job, come home and make dinner....all the while I have this nudging in my head and my heart to go back and watch that video I had received back in November of 2019 (I had continued to get weekly emails, which I ignored and deleted). Around 11 PM that evening, I watched the video in its entirety and 1,000 light bulbs went off, like I had just won the lottery, I kid you not! I kept asking myself and my husband, “why I had I waited so long to watch this video?” “What was I so afraid of?” I immediately set up an interview time for 7:30 AM the next day, signed up with my team and joined my first training call at 11 AM. Two weeks later, we were on a plane to Washington, D.C. for Symmetry’s National Conference and my husband walked around and talked to as many people as he could find and asked them why they joined and did they have any regrets. Not one regretted joining this business and everyone had shared their stories and had said “they would never go back to having a boss that Symmetry had changed their lives and their income.” Before we even got home, my husband joined Symmetry, signed up to take his exam, and we even signed up for the National Conference that was going to be on Royal Caribbean Oasis of the Seas in April 2020 (who knew COVID-19 would ruin this trip). What were we thinking? I had never done insurance, didn’t know a lick about insurance, and all my friends and family were like, “insurance, really?” But here we are, a year and four months later and we have achieved National Top Producer and Key Leader, both, which were goals when we left the National Conference in D.C., April 2019.
We have been a partner of Symmetry Financial Group for a year and four months, direct to Colby Setzer and within the Smith Organization, under the Pritchett Hierarchy and we could not be happier or prouder to be a part of this amazing organization and company. Symmetry has provided us leadership, developed our personal growth, and we have created an amazing circle of friendships that we will cherish for a lifetime. You do not just “work” with these people, you become family with the team you work with. We have never looked back (well, I quit for 2 days and came back...eeek, but I at least came back) on our decision to join the Symmetry family and we are excited to continue our story and continue our journey to reach our dreams. We are sacrificing now with hard work and dedication so we can build a legacy to leave to our family and children that can continue on long after we are gone.
Sometimes, you just have to take the leap of faith with both feet in. Know that God has you every step of the way, even if you do not understand it all in that moment. Our journey continues to grow and we cannot wait to share with you when we reach our next milestone of becoming Agency Owners at Symmetry.
