Pressing On

Devotional

We've crossed the halfway point for 2012.  Production is up some and we had a good experience with Celebrate Freedom last week.  Let's turn those 200 leads into a bunch of new clients!  We've also launched a commercial division and sales are starting to pick up there as well.

Our Agent of the Year contest is half over, and scorecard commissions are kicking in this month.  We've experienced a lot of change and there's more to come.  My encouragement for us is from Philippians 3:13, "But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize."  Paul says everyone who is mature will take that view of things (v15).  Over in 1 Corinthians 9, Paul says to "run in such a way as to get the prize" and that he doesn't "run like someone running aimlessly."

Success is out there--it's the sum total of a lot of choices, a lot of small sacrifices.  God made us physical beings and gave us physical work.  He cares about our work.  But He also understands our shortcomings and His focus is forward, not backward.  So let's make the second half of 2012 twice as good as the first half!  Let's get those scores up and give EJ and Heath a run for the money! :)

Scorecard

We hit 75% of goal in June!  Just as a side note, Heath contributed a whopping $21,546 in new premium.  Way to go, Heath!  Things are picking up, so let's make July our best month ever and take home that extra 5%!
