About This Event

Maybe you're sitting there right now saying, "I don't know what business I want to get into."

You had a license before. Maybe you were a loan officer. Maybe a real estate agent. Maybe a cosmetologist. Maybe you tried something else and you're working, putting in real effort, but you're not making the kind of money you want to make. You're not making the impact you want to make.

You're looking for something that can give you a profitable business, freedom of your time, and a real chance to help people. But you keep looking and looking and you can't pull the trigger and say, "That is what I want to do."

And maybe there's something else going on. Maybe you're afraid. Because you've tried things before and you don't want to be the person who says, "here I go, I'm trying something new" and fail. And more than that, you don't want to fail your family.

Here's what I learned.

A lot of people didn't fail because they didn't have the work ethic. They failed because somebody wasn't there to help them. They were sold a dream. They got the license and the person just walked away. Nobody actually walked alongside them. Nobody showed them how to market. Nobody showed them how to build a business. Nobody was there to knock down the barriers before they got hit by them.

I know, because that was me.

When I first got started in insurance, I had training. I understood policies. But I didn't understand how to actually build a business. I needed marketing. I needed the mindset. I needed somebody who had already paved the road to say, "here's what you're going to run into and here's what you need to do."

That cost me years. Not a couple. Probably closer to ten. It cost me money I could have put toward my retirement. Cost my wife and me experiences we would have loved, trips we would have taken, time with family and friends. I can't get that time back.

That's why we built this workshop.

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS

You'll leave with a workbook, a roadmap, and a checklist you actually fill out. This isn't two days of getting motivated. It's two days of building your plan.

DAY 1: BUILD THE FOUNDATION

Feed the Fire (the mindset piece before you start building). Business structures. Bloom Where You're Planted (your local market and community). The numbers piece (how the business actually makes money). Time Up, Be the Driver of a Great Business. Local Domination. The W3 Solution.

DAY 2: BUILD YOUR MARKETING PLAN

The gold from Day 1. Embracing You (start building your actual marketing plan). Your why. Relationships or Bust. Marketing by Being Present. Credibility and authority: how you become the person people look to when they need help. CARES: our Client Acquisition, Retention & Engagement System.

You're not doing this alone in the room. Dave Cheatham will be there. Mike Sorensen, our Director of Growth & Business Development. Luz, another one of our Directors of Business Development. We've all done this with people at different points in their journey, from folks who'd never been licensed to folks with large books of business.

WHO THIS IS FOR

You don't have to walk in as an insurance expert. Dave didn't. He came from an education background.

But you do have to be willing to work and actually help people.

If you're looking to get rich quick, don't come.

If you don't have enough financial runway to give yourself time to build, don't come.

If it's all about greed for you, don't come.

And if you don't have the integrity and ethics to understand that you're dealing with people's healthcare, their finances, and their future, this is absolutely not for you.

But if you care about people, you have some resources to sustain yourself, and you're ready to build something the right way, this is built for you.

ABOUT DAVE

Dave Cheatham didn't start in insurance. He came from an education background. It took him years to figure out how to build a real business because nobody was there to walk alongside him.

He built FFSG so no one else has to spend a decade figuring it out on their own. He's coached thousands of agents at every stage: brand-new, plateaued, and running big books. He built this workshop for the people who've been trying to figure out what business to get into and are ready to actually build one.
