“I thought college was teaching me very little about what I needed to know to succeed,” explained Dennis McCurdy, “and so I quit in 1973 to begin a career in real estate.” That career lasted about fourteen months.
At age twenty-four, broke and depressed, with no education or training, and the prospect of having to move home to live with his parents, Dennis took his first major risk: He purchased some real estate with two friends who knew as little about real estate as did he. But, little did Dennis know at the time, this first small step was to be a giant leap in his personal success.
“We were able to buy the building with no down payment. And since one of the partners was a new attorney, with no legal fees. I was only twenty-four; but I was now a landlord.”
Dennis began studying for his insurance broker license “while driving a canteen truck during the day and tending bar during the evening.” Shortly after Dennis passed his license exam, another risk presented itself: He was asked to purchase his friend Bob’s agency. he said yes, so with a book of business of $6,000 annual commission, Dennis began his insurance career.
