Are you ready to take not just the big leap but the biggest one?

I am excited to sit down with author and entrepreneur, Tim Gaspar, founder of the Gaspar Insurance Services, Inc.  Listen in as we discuss the importance of passion and authenticity in entrepreneurship. Tim shares the key to his success and the importance of being intentional about the types of clients you attract and work with. We also delve into the importance of learning, infrastructure, and systems in growing a successful business. Tim also talks about his new book, which aims to provide a guide for building successful insurance agencies regardless of location or starting point.

Highlights:

  • Anyone has the ability to build a successful agency regardless of location or background
  • Invest in learning to improve skills and incorporate new ideas consistently for growth.
  • Passion is vital for entrepreneurs as it keeps them going through challenges and setbacks and is necessary to overcome obstacles in business.
  • Consistency and the drive to win are also key components to a successful business.
  • Take time to listen to customers even if it won’t result in a sale. This shows true professionalism.
  • Over-servicing small clients can result in under-servicing big clients who generate the majority of the agency’s revenue.
  • Specializing in a particular field increases profitability, efficiency, and creates a competitive advantage. It also leads to better business valuation.
  • Building an agency based on relationships is crucial for success and creates a flywheel effect, while relying solely on buying leads or SEO can turn a business into a commodity.
  • To succeed as an entrepreneur, you need to find and retain A players who share your vision and work ethic.
  • Being an authentic leader and valuing your team members is essential for their continued loyalty and success.
  • Growing a business without scaling technology and infrastructure can be detrimental.

Do you understand your brand? Do you know what it is conveying?  A brand is more than a logo, it is a message of who you are as company.  Selah Hirsch is back in the studio to discuss what a brand is, what it is not and demystify some of the myths that keep you from making the most out of your brand.  She is an expert at equipping leaders with the confidence to communicate their value through their brand messaging.

This episode originally aired July 16, 2019

Today we are going to be talking about a topic that seems to come up again, and again, and again.  And it answers the question, the age-old marketing question…

“Why should people do business with you over any and all other options?”

Yes, social proof and all of that is in play, but the word I really haven’t dug into is the ‘A’ word…  AUTHENTICITY

“To be authentic, we must cultivate the courage to be imperfect — and vulnerable. We have to believe that we are fundamentally worthy of love and acceptance, just as we are. I’ve learned that there is no better way to invite more grace, gratitude and joy into our lives than by mindfully practicing authenticity.”— Brené Brown

An authentic person puts the people around them at ease, like a comforting, old friend who welcomes us in and makes us feel at home.

There’s never any doubt or questioning the integrity of an authentic individual. Their behavior, in terms of ethics and morals, is as predictable as snow during wintertime in Minnesota. You know what you’re going to get.

 

Highlights:

  • How to become more authentic
  • A part of authenticity is being transparent
  • Connecting to people wherever you are
  • The characteristics of being authentic

 

Until next time, get out there and make a difference, be unstoppable, and leave no regrets!
