The Buffet Truth No One Talks About


Let me ask you:


Have you ever felt like you were just a little too late to something big?


Maybe it was a booming investment…A career switch that exploded…Or a business trend that passed you by while you were still thinking it over.


Now imagine walking into a buffet: Would you rather show up early to a full spread…

Or push your way through a crowd for the last scoop of cold mashed potatoes?


Exactly.


This isn’t just about food.

It’s about timing — and whether you’re the one building

wealth or begging for crumbs.


A smiling man holds a full plate at a buffet while angry people reach for food. Text reads: "Would You Rather Be First in Line... or Fight for What's Left?"

📈 When’s the Right Time to Jump Into a New Industry?


It’s a fair question.

And the answer is surprisingly obvious — but rarely followed:


When demand is rising… and no one’s paying attention.


You don’t wait until everyone’s running toward it.

You move when others are distracted.


So let’s get practical…


🏘️ Real Estate vs. Financial Services — A Brutal Comparison


Real Estate: Oversaturated and Overcrowded


  • Over 3 million licensed agents in the U.S.

  • Only 1.4 million homes for sale on average


That’s 2.6 agents for every single house.

So let’s get real — Are you okay competing tooth and nail… just to maybe get a sliver of a deal?

Or...

Men argue over a "For Sale" sign near a small house, while another walks toward a "Help 610 Families" billboard. Mood is tense.

Now Contrast That With Our Industry


We’re talking about financial career opportunities:Life insurance. Income protection. Retirement planning. Generational wealth.

Stats don’t lie:


  • 334 million people in the U.S.

  • 547,600 licensed agents

  • That’s 1 agent per 610 people


You’re not fighting for one deal.You’re swimming in opportunity.


💰 What Could That Actually Look Like?


Let’s break it down with real numbers:


  • Help 1 family → around $2,880 earned

  • Help your “theoretical 610”? → $1.7 million potential lifetime income


Now let’s go deeper:


  • What if you help just 10% with retirement planning?

  • That’s 61 clients × average $250,000 account

  • You earn about $8,750 per client

  • That’s $533,750 — just from retirement help alone


Total long-term potential?

➡️ $2,290,550+


And you didn’t have to steal leads, undercut anyone, or claw for the last deal.

🌊 Why This Industry Isn’t Slowing Down


Here’s what never changes:


  • People fall in love

  • Start families

  • Worry about their future


And those moments bring up deep questions:


“Will my family be okay if I’m gone?”“Can I actually retire one day?”“What if I outlive my money?”


Add this:

📉 50% of the current financial services workforce is retiring in the next 15 years.


That’s 400,000+ job openings… in an industry with rising demand.


Tell me — how often do you see that kind of setup?


🙄 So Why Aren’t More People Jumping In?


Simple.


They don’t even know it exists.


They hear “financial services” and picture a guy in a suit yelling about stocks.


That’s not what we do.


We have real conversations with real people.


We:

  • Ask thoughtful questions

  • Listen

  • Help them feel safe, secure, and hopeful again


You don’t need to be a “money expert.”

You need to be:

  • Trustworthy

  • Coachable

  • Driven to make a difference

🏄 The Best Time? Before Everyone Notices


Let me paint a picture:


You’re sitting on a surfboard. A wave starts forming. Everyone else is on shore, scrolling TikTok.

But you’re paddling.You catch it early.You ride it all the way in.

That’s what this is.

A rare moment to build something before the crowd shows up.


So the real question isn’t:

“Is this for me?”


It’s:

“How soon can I start?”


 Ready to Catch the Wave?


If you’ve been looking for a way to create financial freedom —Not just for you, but for the families you serve…

Then this might be your wave.


You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to be first.
