Jeff Hastings, an experienced entrepreneur, built one of the largest and most successful sales teams in the Farmers Insurance Group of Companies, generating impressive results. Despite his success, he realized that the sacrifices he made in terms of health and family weren’t worth it. This motivated him to retire from his insurance career and found ContractCoach, LLC (now Ivy Consulting Group, Inc.) – a business coaching agency that empowers business owners to express their passion through their work while never losing sight of what truly matters.

In the 4th edition of his book, “So You Want to Be an Insurance Agent,” Jeff makes major updates focused on helping seasoned insurance agency owners thrive in the rapidly changing insurance industry. He is also the author of “The Most Successful Failure in the World,” which delves into the personal sacrifices and challenges of entrepreneurship and emphasizes the importance of ensuring your business enhances your life rather than consuming it.

Jeff is not only a successful entrepreneur but also a prolific author, motivational speaker, and E-Myth coach. He is a proud father to three children and happily married to Kimberly Andersen Hastings, residing in Cypress, Texas.
