I'm everybody's favorite. I sell cars: new Jeeps, Lincolns, Mercurys and Ford, plus whatever used we have in stock. I'm one of the good ones though, I know my cars and can recognize when I am working with another car guy and not just another sheep who needs direction. On the side I'm attempting to become an amature motorcycle racer and real estate mogul/slumlord.

You have to remember, if he is grossing 1.6mil he probably has a bit of expenses. It is probable that he does net over a million, but running an insurance company is not cheap in the least. If you have payroll, then you have taxes, work comp, health insurance, equipment, computers, internet/phone costs, etc. There is a lot of paperwork in insurance, so you spend a lot on printers, paper, desk crap, mailing and stamps, etc. Also I am sure he pays a monthly rent on the office space. Has to have some advertising or pays for leads...
What insurance do you need? I am sure I can get you a better deal depending on what type of policies you buy. PM me if you want to discuss at all, I would be happy to spend a few minutes figuring out what your needs are.

I work for a small land development/surveying firm outside of Philadelphia. I am civil engineer by degree, and do everything from stormwater management to grading land to writing grant applications for local muncipalities. Some days I feel as if I am spinning my wheels with this career, but most days are rewarding knowing that I am helping many of the communities that I grew up in

Freelance camera operator/editor, specializing in streaming video...for professional projects. I'd be happy to help anyone but please realize for my day rates you could go buy a computer, mini DV camera and consumer editing software to do it yourself. I try to work about 10/15 days a month, but this has already been a very busy year

In fact any one involved in working with dogs: vets, vet techs, groomers, pet sitters, kennel operators, breeders, show handlers, dog sports, etc.
