How to Sell Life Insurance: Build a 2026 Plan You Can Actually Execute

What if 2026 isn't just "new year hype"… but the year you build a system that forces results?

In this Life Insurance Academy episode, Roger, Chris, and Zach recap the lessons of 2025 and map out a clear, executable game plan for 2026—starting with a story from the 2008 USA "Redeem Team" that every agent needs to hear: Kobe Bryant, 4:45 AM, and four words that change everything:

"I got goals."

Inside this episode, you'll learn:

• Why most goals fail (they're vague, vanity, and unsupported)

• The difference between dreaming and goal-setting (hint: a plan + daily action) A simple framework to build your 2026 plan: Vision → Math → Method → Metrics How to reverse-engineer your income/production goal into monthly, weekly, and daily targets The key inputs to track so you can control your outcome: dials, contacts, conversations, presentations, apps, premium, placement rate

• The 3 goals every agent needs:

1. Production goal

2. Process goal

3. Personal development goal (pick skills that make you dangerous in 2026)

• A practical 30-day execution checklist to start strong and stay consistent
