After dropping out of law school, Ronnie Salem turned to the restaurant business. But when COVID hit,
reality struck—he didn’t own his business. “The business owned me, not the other way around,” he
recalls. That realization sparked a search for true ownership and freedom, leading him into the life
insurance industry.
The defining moment came when Ronnie issued $81,000 in life insurance in a single month, netting
$40,000—all virtually from home. “That was when I knew this industry had no ceiling,” he says. The
success shifted his mindset: this wasn’t a side hustle, but a legacy worth building.
Mentorship was pivotal. Early on, Zac Twardowski sharpened his skills in prospecting and scaling.
Later, after hitting $1 million a month in just 10 months, Ronnie earned the mentorship of his company’s
CEO. That guidance helped his agency explode from $1 million to $4 million monthly in only eight
Months.
For Ronnie, the early wins were everything. “Issuing $81,000 in business in one month gave me
absolute belief in what was possible,” he explains. That single month transformed his trajectory.
What began as an escape from a failing restaurant industry became a launchpad into a business where
ownership, mentorship, and grit unlocked unprecedented results.
