*JUST ONE WEEK AGO*

• Phone Rings

“Hey boss, what’s up?”

“Hey man, you want to go to Kentucky?”

“Oh man, 2 weeks before Christmas?”

“I know, I can find someone else if you want”

“Give me a few minutes and I’ll let you know”

One of the best pieces of advice I got when I started as an adjuster in 2020 was to take whatever gig I could get. And be flexible all the time. Truth is, new adjusters are a dime a dozen. IA firms may want you, but they don’t need you. BUT YOU NEED THEM. At least to get started.

However, I had worked my tail off, networked intelligently, and learned in my off time all year long. And it finally paid off. I actually had hiring managers calling me now. I wasn’t waiting on a Facebook post, or some generic text message to find opportunities. Opportunities were coming to me.

But like all opportunities, they basically mean nothing without action. So I discussed it with my wife and we decided that there are some things we want to do in the next few years that we need to save up for. And although it sucks to be gone so close to Christmas, we act in faith that our sacrifice will be worth it.

“OK, where do I need to go?”
