FAQs
What are the four pillars of the Primerica opportunity according to Grace Kim?
The four pillars are leadership, leverage, override, and ownership. Leadership is a decision to step up. Leverage comes from building teams. Override income increases as your team earns. Ownership means operating as a business owner with the goal of earning an RVP contract.
How does leverage work in the Primerica business model?
Leverage works through recruiting and duplication. Unlike traditional broker models where only one person can build an agency, Primerica allows every licensed representative to recruit, train, and grow a team, creating geometric progression growth.
What is override income in Primerica?
Override income is compensation earned from helping teammates produce and succeed. As your team grows and earns income, you receive a percentage, creating scalable and recurring revenue streams.
Why is ownership important in building long-term wealth in Primerica?
Ownership shifts your mindset from employee to entrepreneur. By treating the business as your own and pursuing the RVP contract, you position yourself for long-term residual income, equity-like control, and generational legacy.
Can someone without prior experience succeed in Primerica?
Yes. The system emphasizes field training, licensing, duplication, and leadership development. Background, prior income, or connections do not determine success — commitment and consistency do.

Hi, guys. So happy to be here. I’m gonna. You know, we have a limited time, but I just want to talk to you guys about why you’re here. You know, what is really the essence of Primerica. I’m particularly super excited to have our first timers in the room. Just raise your hand. I know only half arms go up for this question usually. Right? Who’s here for the first time ever? Right? Your first Primerica. Okay, guys. October. No, November 2009. It was three weeks into my joining Primerica, and I came to Poconos for my first leadership event, and my life forever changed. And as I get older and more mature in the business, I realize that it really boils down to four things.
Speaker 1
I really want you guys to take some careful notes, especially for my first timers here, because you do not need to look for. Are you clicking. Sorry. Okay. You do not need to look anywhere else for a better opportunity. You’re sitting in the place that you need to be to have an unlimited future. And what it comes down to with Primerica is just four words. This is truly the total, just complete story of Primerica, Right? And that is leadership, leverage, override, and ownership. So please write that one down. And I’m just going to talk about this from just sort of my own perspective. One of the things that really excited me about Primerica in the early years was I realized that anyone can make a decision to be a leader here, that it was an even playing field.
Speaker 1
It doesn’t even matter how long you have been here or how little time you have been here. If you decide you’re going to step up and you are following the direction of your leadership, See, people buy into that energy more than what you’ve made so far, what your promotional level is in this company. In fact, I remember when I decided to really commit to Primerica. I think I was about probably a more serious version of a district leader. People didn’t ask me, hey, are you a vice president? Are you making six figures? They were already buying into the fact that I was going somewhere with this and they wanted to fight, right? So. And also I realized it doesn’t matter what you have or have not done in Primerica.
Speaker 1
One of the things that really sold me on this opportunity in the early years was I saw a lot of my heroes in Primerica here who come from amazing backgrounds. They had different degrees, they had different. Well, to do jobs prior to, and they voluntarily chose this opportunity. So I said, I would be dumb as a 24 year old back then to say that it was not worthwhile for me, guys, I’m a very simplified person when it comes to this type of logic, right? Even playing field. And Blake actually really spoke. I really loved his talk worthy, right? He talked about he didn’t have a leg up in Prime Erica, despite his parents being legends in the business, he had to go through. There is no nepotism, right?
Speaker 1
He had to go through the same thing, which is field training, getting licensed and facing rejection and building a team, right? So that’s leadership, guys, Leverage. Let’s talk about that one. See what makes this so different, guys, from so many other businesses out there. If you’re a broker in other types of businesses, real estate, whatnot, different things. The recruiting opportunity is only for the broker, right? They get to build an agency. The people in that agency don’t get to recruit and train a team themselves. That opportunity is only to one person. See, that’s what I always talk about in this business is starting from day one, guys, in this business, all my new people here, we’re actually showing you how to act as a broker from day one.
Speaker 1
And as you get more and more people through the pipeline, guys, this is what really saved me. This is what made me in Primerica. At the beginning, when I started out with no market, no relatives, nobody. I had just come out of college a couple years. I had found this business a couple years out of college, which was actually out of state. I had no market. And once my brain just locked in, guys, everyone see your bracelet here, right? You guys see what it says? Lock in, right? This means so many different things. But once my mind locked into the fact that I can grow my business, diversify my market, my audience, right through recruiting, it just completely took me to a whole new place mentally. With Primerica, right, you get to add different skills, talents to your team.
Speaker 1
We have a very diverse team that we’re super proud of. We grew a Dominican team, we grew an African American team, we grew a Haitian team, right, Sherry, Right, Team asap, right? We have so many people who are good at different things, which rounds out and gives us a very well rounded business, right? We get to be at more places in less time. Geometric progression, which is just a fancy word of saying teams. Building teams, right? Layers of leadership, guys. Override. Helping more people make more money and you make more money. What a concept, right? Everyone wins.
Speaker 1
Override income, by the way, if you really study it, you know, the Narendra training, you know, leadership school, you see classic talks, you know, and I remember some of the classics and One of the ones that they talked about was I think it was like 27 different ways of creating revenue in this business. I only thought there was like seven or eight. Right? 27 different ways. Everyone out there talks about passive residual and recurring income. It’s like it’s trendy to talk about that. And yet we get to have all of those income through here. And we’re still wondering what is Primerica, right? You do not need to wonder anymore. And there is no time to waste. And last but not least, ownership. Everyone knows, from the youngest to the oldest in here, we all understand the power of owning something.
Speaker 1
It could be a piece of land, a piece of property. We all understand how good that is, right? The security of it, the more option, the inheritance, the equity. But how many of us are truly treating this business like we it’s our own business starting from now, you know? Or are we just looking at just the front two roles as business owners? So once you lock into that idea that this is your business, your RVP contract is coming to you soon. So quickly guys. And right around the corner from that is your ownership contract. Those are the two contracts that you need to sign asap. That being said guys, with the two minutes, I just want to really just compliment, you know my lock in partner, right?
Speaker 1
My co CEO, my Primerica partner, he just recently transitioned to full time Primerica and for the first time, guys, let’s give it a hand, right? You know, it’s a total lifestyle change and it’s incredible. You know, the freedom of just not having to report to something alone is so amazing. So I just would love for him to talk for a couple minutes. Thank you, Jack.
Speaker 2
For those of you who are wondering what I was doing up here, green, big green button. That was my job. Listen, I just left law enforcement for 27 years and I’m having the time of my life full time with my beautiful wife. Every single day. We work on our vision together. There is nothing that we could have done together in the police department, but there’s nothing we can’t do together working for our business. It’s absolutely incredible. And one day were driving to the office, first of all, Blake, I’m not sure where Blake is, but was Blake not amazing or what? He was absolutely amazing. And I know Keith has and Danielle are so proud of him. And Blake made a statement up here that I disagree with though. He said everybody in the front row knew him since he was small.
Speaker 2
I’m only 5 8. I never knew Blake as being small. He’s a very tall guy for me. But I was driving to the office one night, and I got a text message from my daughter. I’m going to embarrass her because she’s here today. She says, hey, guys, I miss you lots. You know, I’m freshly off the teen market. She just turned 20. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking. I really want to take my adult finances seriously. Obviously, I’m working in the tea room. Very soon, there’s going to be some good promotions for me. However, I want to get started with Primerica. You guys are the experts. How can I move forward? My daughter Hannah is in the front row. She’s with her boyfriend Yamato. And as soon as I got that text message, I called her. Eight days later, she was licensed.
Speaker 2
So, you know, we are building a business together. Grace and I are. But you know what? We’re building a legacy together, too. And you guys, everyone here has the same opportunity. I am so proud of my girls. Everybody who saw my daughter Hannah’s like, oh, yeah, I seen you on your social media all the time. But you know what? The point is, every single person here is building a legacy for themselves and for their family, and you have the opportunity to do that here. Thank you guys very much.
