    This was around my halfway point for my P&C courses.



During the lessons I had to watch a few videos just to get a better understanding on what the differences between commercial lines and personal lines were and how they interact with one another.



This was actually really interesting to me because it showed the different licenses that are out there and could be achieved. Of course the higher ranking licenses take much more time and effort to achieve however.



The happiest day of my life when I had finally finished my 52 hours of online courses.




This was the place I took my two day crash course unfortunately the instructor didn't allow me to take pictures of her while she was teaching.




However she didn't say anything about the classroom.



When taking the actual test they didn't allow me to take in a cell phone or even a jacket for cheating purposes but I was finally able to take the test however I did end up failing with a 50%. 10% away from passing so close.

         - This component helped me answer my EQ because "the best way to motivate an insurance team to a profitable end", is education and in order to properly educate an employee there has to be a vision for success because without a vision your employee is just going to assume the business really isn't going anywhere and may eventually quite. Education also plays a huge role in my answer #1 time management schedule because no matter how open you may think you are if you scramble all of your to do's together your just going to over stress yourself and eventually your employees will catch this. Affirmation also plays a huge role because if your employees are never rewarded for their hard work chances are they're going to assume their just there to make them money and not for the actually group effort of trying to make the company really strive for success.
