Hi everyone,
I am a P&C agent with a reputable brokerage making just about six figures a year. I have been thinking for a long time now to start my own agency but I am a bit scared to leave a salary paying job to work on my own - commission only. I have about 10 years experience in this field and know all the carriers I would like to continue to work with.
I realize I would not have a book to roll over, as I have a non-compete with my company, but I can always find other agencies such as NIA to get to these markets until I grow my book. I have become extremely BORED with my job! I think the company I work for is a very good one, I just don't see myself growing or learning anything new. Everyone in my office is older and have become complacent, I cannot learn anything from them.
I feel I can do this on my own but just thought I would get other experienced agent's thoughts or advice. Should I just look to work for another brokerage or should I start my own agency?
Thanks so much!
