BLOG:

Life is filled with unexpected twists and turns. The road to success is rarely plain sailing, and this is certainly true in the case of John Tankersley, owner of GetHomeInsuranceNow. com. In the discerning and often challenging world of insurance, John's experiences range from intense real-world confrontations to the learnings from countless failures.

John turned his humble beginnings into a thriving insurance empire. A defining moment occurred one late night at a bank's deposit box. Being held up by a stranger, John was faced with the choice to protect his clients' money or give in to fear. He chose the former, reinforcing this ethos, 'what he's taking from you is not something you can afford to give.'

John’s story is not just about individual grit but also about the power of collaboration. He found his success amplifying collaboratively with his partner, Frank Russo. They utilized their unique skillsets, complementing each other’s strengths and weaknesses. Working on a unified vision, they built a behemoth insurance brokerage, Florida Insurance Specialist.

John attributes his success to his ability to stay true to his roots. He didn’t diversify or change lanes; instead, he honed in on his passion for personal property insurance and established strong relationships with real estate and mortgage professionals. With such clarity, John turned GetHomeInsuranceNow. com into a robust platform in the insurance industry.

John’s journey is a captivating anecdote of success, brought by unwavering determination, patience, resilience, and the ability to seize the right opportunity at the right time. As John continues to unfurl newer chapters of his tale, he reminds us that success is often the byproduct of staying true to one's roots, embracing collaboration, and never neglecting hard work.

Bootstrapped Unicorns: Entrepreneurship Podcast with Josh Pies

Bootstrapped Unicorns: Entrepreneurship with Josh PiesAbout the PodcastBootstrapped Unicorns is dedicated to Examining the Journey of Entrepreneurship. Interviews of entrepreneurs – finding out their back story, how they discovered their business, and how they overcame the challenges they faced, will help you – our viewers, friends, and peers – move forward with confidence. Josh Pies (Host), serial entrepreneur and guy who has hit both good and hard times, never gives up. What has fueled his ability to bounce back and champion adversity is a clear understanding that learning from the example of others is the best way to move forward with confidence. That is the purpose of this podcast. Napoleon Hill’s famous text ‘Think And Grow Rich” was purportedly a study of the richest men in business and how they operated. Hill’s famous work by example, as well as via the infamous concept of “The Mastermind”, supports the notion that learning from peers who have relevant experiences is precisely the right decision to help entrepreneurs overcome and achieve. The words Bootstrapped and Unicorn are jargon terms in the world of entrepreneurs but they are familiar and paint an excellent picture of what the journey is like and the end destination is for many of us. We bootstrap. We work hard, sweat lots, and win the hard way by nature. We also strive to become the unicorn of our industry. Our show is a celebration and exploration of what it means to bootstrap our way to success and what it means to become a unicorn. Join us by subscribing, today.©2023
