So it's been a great opportunity for me and I'm having a blast doing it.” - Brent Kelly “You can get back the money, you can get back things, you can even restore some relationships, right? But you can’t get back your time. So, a big part of that is how do you prioritize in the right way, and finding that 80/20 is critical?” - Brent Kelly “Now, PIG is Profitable Income Growth, and that's what we want for predictable income. whatever it is, Don’t be a HAWG be a PIG.” - Brent Kelly “You’ve got to have some kind of structure or rule. So you're going to have guidelines and guardrails, you're going to go all over the place. So, if I knew what my minimum account size is, or if it's a personal line account, I know that I simply will not write a model on the account.” - Brent Kelly Resources Mentioned: Agency Intelligence Reach out to Jason Cass Reach out to Katlyn Eggar LinkedIn- Brent Kelly Sitkins Group, Inc.
