If you're in Decorah, IA — whether you're fresh off active duty, a Luther College grad looking for something with more purpose, or someone from the northeast Iowa countryside who's done working for someone else's vision — this one's worth a look. This is a remote, work-from-home position serving the Decorah, IA area; you work from your own home with a laptop and a phone, no commute, no local office to report to.

Here's the honest picture: this is whole life insurance sales, it's commission-based 1099 work, and it's 100% remote — you work from home, anywhere in the country, with a laptop and a phone. It's real work. But I built this agency after 10-hour shifts at a plant, so I know what it takes to start from zero while you've still got other obligations.

Who this fits

  • Veterans and transitioning service members who want ownership, not another chain of command
  • Folks who value discipline, a clear process, and a mission that actually means something
  • People who want to help families protect what they've built — that's the whole point of this work

What you get from us

  • Straight-up training and mentorship — I'll tell you what it pays, what it costs, and what the first 90 days really look like
  • A remote setup so you keep control of your own schedule
  • A team that talks like humans and shows up for each other

You'll need a life insurance license (or the willingness to get one — we'll point you the right way). No guarantees here, just an honest shot and real support.

Decorah is a tight-knit community where people look out for each other — that's exactly the mindset this work rewards. If you've got 15 minutes and you're ready to have a straight conversation about what this actually looks like, reach out and let's talk.
