Feedback From Our Top Agents/CEOs:

Top 7 Reasons to Start Your Own Business

1.      Independence – Many of our agents came to our industry because they wanted the independence to make their own lives a success. No boss, no limits.

2.      You Can Innovate – Marketing, business networking, community involvement, personal/staff development are all things you get to create as the CEO of your agency.

3.      You Can Escape the Rat Race – After multiple conversations with employees from Fortune 500 companies, you’ll start to get a sense that security and longevity aren’t necessarily in the cards. Unfortunately, many companies down-size tenured employees at their peak. 

4.      You’ll Have Meaning & Purpose – There aren’t too many jobs where your “Why are we in business?” is to help others in their greatest time of need. That’s exactly what insurance agents do.

5.      You Might Be Able to Bootstrap – Today, you don’t have to come loaded, or take on huge amounts of debt, to earn quick equity in your business. Our 12-month protégé program allows you to prove your skills and be given a book of business. 

6.      You Can Make Money – In our district, the average agents gross around $150K/yr. and our top 15% of agents gross around $300K/yr. (The average income for our area is just $29K/yr.)  

7.      You’ll Experience New Things – The entrepreneurial spirit is addictive. Many business owners could never see themselves working for someone else ever again. That and building a network of other business owners develops a sense of camaraderie is exciting!

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So, throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
