A bit confused on how to begin selling insurance on my own

A bit of back story…

I am working for this brokerage that sells life and health insurance, I have been working here for 10 months now and I am starting to get sketched out.

I took my test for life and health, I got my fingerprints and i’m pretty sure I have my license but my employer handled all of that… from what I was told I should be licensed. He was supposed to buy my states too and it keeps getting pushed back for some reason.

Well, lately my employer was have trouble with the life insurance department that I worked in and I got transferred to health insurance to be a fronter for the time being while he fixed what is going on with life insurance department. This was in November 2024.

I am honestly tired of playing the waiting game,I am tired of building someone else’s books, and feeling like i’m being underpaid. I really want to start selling independently and start building my own books and working from home directly with the carriers.

Does anyone have any advice on how to start? where do I go from here? How do i get contracted with different life insurance carriers? how do I start selling from home?
