Lawn Care to Insurance Empire: Chris Phelps’ Journey to Entrepreneurial Success

On this episode of The Ty Brady Way, Ty is joined by Chris Phelps, an entrepreneur with an inspiring journey from small-town hustler to successful insurance agency owner. Chris shares how his entrepreneurial spirit started early, launching his first lawn care business at age 11. Influenced by his father's advice to never work for someone else, Chris developed a passion for working independently, leading him to eventually enter the world of insurance sales after a few career pivots.

 

Chris talks about his early years working for companies like Living Scriptures and Fidelity Investments, while continuing to rely on his father's fire suppression business when times got tough. It was through researching residual income that Chris discovered the potential of insurance. After some initial struggles, he found his footing with Humana and built a thriving business, embracing the concept of making money while you sleep.

 

Now, as a top producer and agency owner, Chris has grown a national insurance business by mentoring other agents. He shares the philosophy that drives his success: focus on helping clients rather than just selling products. By doing what’s best for clients, Chris has created a company culture that attracts top talent and generates lasting success for both his agents and their customers.
