Circles

In the 19th century, artists including Degas, Monet, and Renoir got together periodically to discuss their commissions, their patrons, and their industry. This circle met consistently, and the artists credited these small gatherings with not only making their careers but the rise of the impressionist movement. http://www.fastcompany.com/1802675/work-smart-the-power-of-circles?partner=gnews&google_editors_picks=true

Seven Reasons to Sell Out Now by John Warrillow

Seven Reasons to Sell Out Now by John Warrillow - bit.ly/pSBLUF

Seven solid reasons why insurance agency owners looking to sell in the next five years should consider selling in 2012.

  • Your business is stable.

  • You don’t want to fight the next recession.

  • The tax man is coming.

  • No one is lucky forever.

  • The coming glut of other agencies for sale.

  • The closing window (capital is dwindling).

  • It’s a good time to be (or get) liquid.

Florida insurance agencies with 25% - 35% net profit are selling for 1.5 - 2 times annual gross commissions if done right. Call me to analyze your agency and prepare it for the market. Get top dollar.

Best regards,
