Brooke is a multi line insurance brokerage where Tony markets your insurance to multiple Home, Auto, Life, Health, and Business Insurance Carriers from across the USA to compete for your business. When asked how to achieve success as an Entrepreneur Tony list these attributes:
--Faith in God. Knowing that God has your back no matter what
--Confidence. If you don’t believe in yourself, who will?
--Hard work. When everyone else is “sleeping” Tony is working.
--Perseverance. Rejection is just part of the game. NEVER QUIT.
--Take Calculated Risk. While it is true that no risk = no reward, taking risk just for the sake of is stupid.
--Integrity. Only sell what you know you can back up.
