Being Your Own Boss with Curtis Cottle (Ep. 51)



Have you ever felt like a general 9-5 office job may not be for you? Wondering what it would be like to work for yourself and manage your own business defined by your rules and processes?

Then self-employment might be the direction for you. 

Although managing your own business may seem like a never-ending process of delegating, coaching, and managing, there are a number of benefits to this type of employment, including being your own boss. 

In this episode, local investment advisor representative and licensed insurance professional Curtis Cottle joins Brad Swineheart to explain how he kick-started his career in the retirement and financial services industry. Curtis also sheds light on the processes he has integrated into his business model as a first-time entrepreneur. 

Curtis discusses: 

  • How to know if self-employment is right for you
  • Ways he has been implementing education, marketing, workshops, and seminars within his business 
  • How the pandemic impacted the way he connected with clients and prospects 
  • What people don’t tell you about starting a business from the ground up
