What if growing your business had less to do with chasing leads and more to do with becoming magnetic to the right people?

In this episode of Agency Acceleration Lab, Alex sits down with Dr. Terri Alford to talk about what it really means to attract abundance in business. Dr. Terri breaks down her framework around influence, impact, and income, and explains how insurance agents can use what they already have — their background, their network, their voice, and their service — to attract the right clients and opportunities.

She shares how she built business by starting where she already had influence, using small invitation-only lunches instead of large events, and turning social media into her own stage. This conversation is full of practical insight for agents who feel overwhelmed, scattered, or unsure where to focus.

If you want to stop chasing and start attracting, this episode is worth your time.
