Developing a worthwhile definite purpose is among the most rewarding - and difficult - processes there is.  Actually, it's almost everything.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The point is, these things that I could have done -- but didn't -- were an important reminder to me.  An idea is just an idea.  An intention is just an intention.  A decision is just a decision.  Until it's followed by sustained, focused action.  And this is the hard part.  Ideas are a dime-a-dozen; we all have tons of them.  But "doers', on the other hand, those willing to take ideas run them to the finish line, are a rare breed.  To these doers go the spoils.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bottom line; we recommend that you hold a license in their state of residence and other limited strategic states, depending on your claims company requirements, your state of residence and your aspirations in the claims industry.  If your state of residence does not license adjusters, we recommend obtaining significant, strategic state licenses, such as high-weather activity states (TX, FL, GA) and state with fewer adjusters, such as New York.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There’s an elephant in the room, and we’ve been working around it for years. I’m talking about the "wild West" process of hiring a new adjuster.   It’s a real problem.  This difficulty of accurately assessing a prospective new-hire's ability, and the lack of a viable, unbiased, meaningful measure of that competency has plagued the industry for decades.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you’ve decided that you’re only taking a post with a six-figure salary handling lollipop residential property claims within 5 miles of your house in Harvey, North Dakota, you’re going to be a little frustrated by the lack of offers. Now, that’s an exaggeration, of course, but the reality is that many folks place far too many restrictions on what they’ll deign to do on their first assignment with the unfortunate consequence that they never receive a first assignment. Flexibility is key.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Like most folks (including myself at the beginning of the coaching process), he is not really sure what he wants, but he's quite sure it's different from what he's got now.  Most folks don't really know what they want in life, I've found, and as a result end up getting more of what they don't want than what they want.  The beginning of the coaching process is the beginning of a serious attempt to answer the question "who the heck am I and what do I really want?"  The answer to this question is really, really important]]></description>
