Tweetable Quotes:

• “I’m very thankful for the Aflac knowledge that I got, I don’t regret one day I spent with them. I just decided I had to kind of reinvent myself and my agency to solve more problems.” – Aron Robertson
• “I think the hardest thing is learning things that I need to do now, I need to do soon, and I need to get done eventually. Eventually is profitable in 10 years, the now is profitable.  I got to do that now to create a good foundation for my agency to be successful long term.” – Aron Robertson
