Cons
-Very unpredictable income, month to month, and year to year -Need to build a niche market or team up with senior advisors in order to survive -When you start out, it is very difficult to both learn product, and make a decent amount of money without having to bring someone else along that knows how to sell the product well -Unpredictable hours, most clients work so you need to meet with them at their residence when they get home, 6PM, 8PM, etc -High expenses. Could travel up to an hour and a half north or south to meet with a client at their residence. Gas and mileage on car can really rack up.
