Stephen Covey described maturity as a journey from dependence to independence to interdependence.

Most of us understand the first two.

We start out needing other people to show us the way. Then, through experience, discipline, and a few hard lessons, we become capable of standing on our own two feet.

That's growth.

But independence isn't the destination.

I've seen what I can accomplish on my own. And while I'm grateful for those results, I'm increasingly convinced we're made for something greater.

Capable, competent, God-fearing, hard-working, honest people aren't meant to work alone.

Scripture puts it this way:

“How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!” — Psalm 133:1

I keep coming back to a simple idea:

We are stronger than me.

I don't need other people because I'm incapable.

I want other people in my life and business because together we can accomplish things none of us could accomplish alone.

So here's a question I've been asking myself:

Where am I bumping into the limits of what I can do by myself?

Maybe that's a question worth asking about your life, faith, family, leadership, or business too.

Think of one person you need to bring into the situation.

Tag them below, send them this post, or simply reach out and say:

“I've got something I want to accomplish, and I think we'd be better at it together.”

Highly successful people don't always say:

"Hey, hold my b**r."

Sometimes they learn to say:

“Let's do this thing together.”

A friend of mine who’s a gardener once told me:

“Mother Nature is modest. If you don’t cover her first, she’ll cover herself.”

I think our calendars work the same way.

You can clear your schedule.
Eliminate distractions.
Get your finances in order.
Break a few bad habits.
Those are all good things.

But removing what you don’t want doesn’t automatically produce what you do want.

An empty field doesn’t stay empty.
Neither does an empty calendar.
Something will eventually fill the space.

So the question isn’t simply:
Am I busy?

It’s:
Am I intentionally spending my time doing the things most likely to produce the results I say I want?

That’s a much harder question.

Don’t just pull w**ds.
Plant something on purpose.
Decide what you want to grow.
Decide what actions will produce it.
Put those actions on the calendar.
Then do the work.

You are responsible for your own productivity.
But you don’t have to work alone.

I’ll help you.
You help me.

Let’s do this thing together.

You don't pull w**ds once and congratulate yourself on a job well done.

Weeding is something that has to be done regularly.

The same is true in life, and faith, and business.

And get this:

Not everything competing for your attention is bad.

A good thing at the wrong time can still be a w**d.

So, I've learned to start each day by asking:

Not only what matters most today, but when will I do it.

Then, before I finish the day, I walk the field of my life, my faith, and my business again and ask, not only did I do the thing I was committed to doing, but how long did it take me to get started?

How long did it take me to finish?

And what kinds of things tried to distract me from what I needed to accomplish today?

If you're reading this post, I encourage you to answer these questions:

What are you trying to grow, and what keeps getting in the way?

Then use the comment section below to tell us about one w**d you know needs to be pulled if this growing season is going to be more productive than your last one.

Remember, some of the w**ds can only be pulled by you. But you don't have to work alone.

Let's do this thing together.

The other day I heard someone say:

“When a tree falls, everyone around it hears the sound. But nobody hears the sound of a tree as it grows.”

I've been growing a lot lately, and honestly, I'm a little afraid to talk about it because some of you have known me long enough, or well enough, to remember some of my failures.

Sometimes I’m afraid the sound of my failures will be louder than the sound of my growth.

But guess what?

I’m not a tree... and neither are you.

We have mouths.
We don’t have to let our failures do all the talking.

Years ago, I made a decision to grow.
I’m making that decision again today.
And I’ll make it again tomorrow.

So here’s my challenge for everyone reading this post:

What are you afraid to do because somebody remembers an older version of you?

Give them a chance to meet the person you’re becoming.

You might have to do it scared.
But you don’t have to do it alone.

Let’s do this thing together.

Will you take a swing at it?

You know that carnival game where they hand you a sledgehammer and challenge you to ring the bell?

Most jobs aren't like that.

You work hard. You do what's expected. You ask for a raise and hope someone approves it. Your future is often determined by decisions being made somewhere above your pay grade.

What attracted me to Symmetry Financial Group was something different.

Before I ever started, they handed me a roadmap. Not a promise. A roadmap.

It showed exactly how someone could grow, advance, increase their income, and build a business of their own. The path was clear from day one.

When someone here says, "I want to earn more," the response isn't, "We'll see." Our response is, "Great. Here's what it takes. Let's get to work."

That's the kind of environment I want to be part of.

The financial services industry changed my life because it gave me a chance to see exactly how much value I am adding to my community.

If you're tired of wondering what's possible and ready to find out, send me a message.

The bell is still there.
How high do you want to go?

Mission first. Commission second.

I recently heard someone describe our profession that way, and it stuck with me.

In our business, we don't get paid for showing up. We get paid for helping people.

If we don't serve families, solve problems, and provide value, we don't earn a commission.

What's wrong with that?

The truth is, the best agents I know aren't motivated by money alone. They're motivated by the opportunity to make a difference in someone's life.

The commission is important, but the mission comes first.

If you're the kind of person who believes an honest day's work deserves an honest day's pay, and you'd like to build a career helping families while creating a future of your own, let's talk.

We're looking for people who put people first.
If that's you, let's talk.

Sell a service, not your soul.

At some point in an insurance agent’s career, they realize they’ve mastered the sales cycle.

Earning income is no longer the problem.
The problem is they’ve immersed themselves in a system that will never give them ownership of their business or their future.

They know how to serve people.
They know how to sell.
But they’re stuck building someone else’s dream with limited freedom, limited opportunity, and no real path to ownership.

At The Craig Agency, we believe talented people should eventually stand on their own two feet.

You don’t need to be controlled.
You don’t need to be micromanaged.
And you don’t need someone telling you what to do forever.

You need an interdependent team.
The freedom to work independently, but not alone.

Our system gives people that opportunity.

Whether you want to build:

- a sales career
- an agency
- a passive income stream
- or a legacy

there is an opportunity for you here.

If you’re a licensed life and health agent — or interested in becoming one — let’s talk.

The opportunity is real.
The freedom is real.
The responsibility is real, too.

Long after they’re gone...

This week I helped a set of grandparents put 7 life insurance policies in place for their grandchildren.

Many people think life insurance is only about replacing income after someone dies. This family understood something deeper: Life insurance can create opportunities long before that day ever comes.

This wise couple understood something powerful. Generational wealth doesn’t happen by accident.
It happens when a family thinks ahead and works together.

Every healthy family wants to leave more behind than memories. We want to leave stability, opportunity, and a financial foundation the next generation can build on.

Thinking about your family tree won’t change it. But making wise financial decisions for future generations might.

Remember, life insurance isn’t for people who fear their future.
It’s for the people who love it!

Give me a call.
Let's talk about your family and your future.
