			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="line-height: 21px;">Just to help clear up some of the confusion, back in May I made the decision to terminate my contract with prior insurance company.   During the first few days of May, I turned in my 90 day notice that I after that timeframe I would no longer sell their insurance.  On May 5th, just a few days later they accepted my request and terminated my contract that day.</p>
<p style="line-height: 21px;">To my prior farmers clients, I am sorry that I did not get a chance to let you know that I would no longer be able to serve your Farmers policies.  It was my choice, I did not get fired!</p>
<p style="line-height: 21px;">Why did I go independent?</p>
<p style="line-height: 21px;">For the past year or so, I started feeling stuck.  There were many clients that I wanted to work with, but with the limited products and options that I had available to me through Farmers, the coverage was either too expensive, or I could not even provide the options that my clients were needing.  These were people that I personally wante to work with, but couldn’t because of my situation.   Therefore I made a decision to terminate my contract and find an opportunity where I could decide who I wanted to work with not who the company wanted.</p>
<p style="line-height: 21px;">At that time, I left and went fully independent, which is what my health and medicare supplement clients had benefited from.  I had many companies to choose from and finally got away from the “stick everyone in this same box” mode.</p>
<p style="line-height: 21px;">Needless to say, it has been much easier to find a solution that works for my clients with the options I have available to me now.  I now have over 100 life insurance companies to find a solution from, over 20 auto and or home companies, around 10 health insurance companies, over 20 medicare supplement companies and around 20 companies who provide commercial insurance.</p>
<p style="line-height: 21px;">I am happy to say that I am back to being an advisor and not a salesman.  I can now find a solution!</p>
