 Glendenning, G. William., and Robert B. Holtom. Personal Lines Underwriting. 1st ed. Malvern, PA: Insurance Institute of America, 1982. Print.

INTERPRETIVE 
Defend your work and explain how the significant parts of your component and how it demonstrates 30 hours of work.   Provide evidence (photos, transcript, art work, videos, etc) of the 30 hours of work.  
APPLIED
How did the component help you answer your EQ? Please include specific examples to illustrate how it helped. 


 

    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.

Independent Comp. 2 Approval

Content:

1.  Describe in detail what you plan to do for your 30 hours.

For the next 30 hours I plan to continue doing work on mike russes financial training so I can get certified for property and casualty. In doing so I hope to finding a second answer to my EQ that has to do with goals and keeping a vision in mind.

2.  Discuss how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence.

This time I will be taking more pictures of me taking the courses online and maintain an electronic blog.

3.  And explain how what you will be doing will help you explore your topic in more depth.

For this component I will be going more into depth of what insurance really is and how it can be used effectively when dealing with a sort of loss. Insurance plays a huge role in how we live and what can and cannot be covered so by doing so I will at least have the basic understanding of what insurance really is.

Independent Component 1

Literal: 
A) I, Marco Gonzalez affirm that I completed my Independent Component which represents 30 hours of work. 

B) The person who helped me complete my 30 hours was my mentor Alex Wienberger.

D) I Did Pipeline for the past 30 Hours. for my Independent Component 1 then did the rest for mentorship hours.

Interpretive:
This was significant to my component because although doing call sheets seemed extremely repetitive it connected to my first answer witch was to pretty much adhere to the monthly schedule. And in order for the job to be done effectively at the same time consuming as little time as possible a monthly schedule would have to be formed around my one and single goal, which was the completion of organizing my call sheets.
     
Log of hours 11/13/2013 - 12/16/2013 go towards Ind. Comp.


google was the greatest search engine to find addresses and fax numbers.

 
This is me at the start of a new month trying to finish up my goal.



I don't know if it could be seen but this is what pipeline looks like.



Crossing off my first goal.

Applied:
I think this helped me learn a bit more about the foundation of my topic because regardless of how much knowledge you have in dealing with the business of Insurance if you cannot organize your files effectively there is a possibility that everything could just get lost and eventually lead into law suites  The reason why I think this helps me understand the foundation a bit more is because regardless of what type of business your into you always have to take a moment of your time to always keep yourself organized.
