Summer has arrived! The season of sun, relaxation, and a perfect time to kick back and reflect on some of life’s big questions—like your CAREER satisfaction.

Finding ‘Your Why’ could be the secret ingredient to keep you motivated, excited, and ready to tackle anything the Insurance Industry throws your way.  If you take some time to define, or reflect on ‘Your Why’ there is a better chance you will STAY in a role that aligns with your values and see meaningful growth where you are planted. Sometimes this feels better than allowing yourself to get distracted – for all the wrong reasons.

 

Why Your Motivation Matters

Imagine your career ‘Why’ as the spark that ignites your PASSION and keeps you going even when the work feels boring, the tasks get monotonous, or you and your company don’t feel aligned anymore. Take a little time this summer for some introspection and ponder what truly DRIVES YOU. Reflecting on your CAREER PURPOSE can help you gain clarity about your path or bring back the excitement you felt when you first started in the Insurance Industry. Maybe it was the idea of helping people, the thrill of solving complex problems, or the promise of financial stability. Whatever it was, reconnecting with that initial spark can feel rejuvenating.

 

While you’re soaking up the sun, or trapped in a car on a ten hour road trip with your family, consider these potential MOTIVATORS to see if they resonate with you:

  1. People Power: Insurance professionals are a FUN and ENGAGING bunch. The friendships and professional relationships you build is what gets a lot of Insurance pros up in the morning. If the people around you make your workday brighter, that’s a fantastic reason to stay motivated!
  2. Adventure Awaits: Love to TRAVEL? The Insurance Industry often offers opportunities to explore new places and meet clients from all walks of life. If you’re someone who loves to mix work with a bit of adventure, this could be your perfect motivator.
  3. Flexibility is Fabulous: The Insurance world is diverse, with roles that offer varying degrees of FLEXIBILITY. Whether you enjoy a structured 9-to-5 or need a schedule that adapts to your life, there’s likely a spot in Insurance that fits your needs.
  4. Money Makes the World Go Round: Let’s be real—MONEY is a motivator. A career in Insurance offers a comfortable living and financial security. If a padded bank account makes you smile, embrace it! There’s no shame in letting FINANCIAL STABILITY be part of your career motivation.
  5. Helping Hands: If helping others gives you a sense of fulfillment, your career motivation might be the desire to make a difference in CLIENTS’ lives. Providing peace of mind and security is a powerful motivator.
  6. Exciting Projects and Progress: If you’re someone who thrives on NEW CHALLENGES and opportunities for career progression, the Insurance Industry has plenty to offer. From tackling new projects to climbing the career ladder, there’s always something exciting on the horizon.
