HI, MY NAME IS... PROFILE ON LOCAL ENTREPRENEUR: Steve Stanley

MY COMPANY AND TITLE IS...

Steve Stanley Agency - Farmers Insurance

A TYPICAL DAY IN MY LIFE

INCLUDES... Waking up to my daughters getting ready for school, my dog barking at the cars passing by and my wife helping all of them! My wife and I work out at YouFit on 323nd and Shea for an hour, then I head off to the offi ce and help customers with all of their insurance questions, issues, etc. I get to the offi ce and JoAnn, my account manager welcomes me with a smiling face. I go out and meet with clients throughout the day, take them to lunch, visit their businesses and build relationships. There is not a day that goes by where I do not learn something new. I have been in this business 11 years and it never gets stale. Every day is about meeting people, helping people and building relationships. My day ends at home having dinner with my family and watching t.v. with my girls. We usually watch Dancing with the Stars or The Voice…I have very little say in the matter, but I love that they love it!

MY FAVORITE THING ABOUT LIVING/WORKING IN THE

NORTH 32ND AREA IS... The community has a small town feel to it. I love that the elementary, middle and high schools that my daughters attend are right next to each other and we are close enough to walk there for a sporting event, performing arts show, or PTO event. I also love the revitalization of the Shea and 32nd Street business community. There is a lot of growth and constant activity which makes it a fun place to live and work. The people are awesome as well. We have lived in AZ for 15 years and this is the friendliest community we have been in.

MY FAVORITE MOVIE I COULD NEVER GET TIRED OF WATCH-

ING AND WHY... Rocky IV. There are so many life lessons in this fl ick.

You’ve got to root for a husband and wife who love each other deeply and face challenges together. I love the scene when Adrienne tells Rocky that he shouldn’t go to Russia to fi ght with Drago because he can’t win. He goes anyway and then she comes after realizing that even if she loses him, she is supporting his desire to avenge his friend’s death. Also, it can’t get any better than the training scenes. I have the soundtrack and it still gets me fi red up. I love to watch the underdog succeed.

MY FAMILY... Is my life. Brooke is my wife and high school sweetheart. My three daughters are Gracie, Lily and Mia. Gracie is a sophomore at SMHS, while Lily and Mia go to Desert Cove (Lily is in sixth and Mia is in second grade). We also have a Jack Russell Terrier Poodle mix named Buddy. He thinks he is a lot bigger than he actually is.

THE BUSINESS LESSON I

LEARNED THE HARD WAY... The only way to truly build your business the right way is through strong relationships!

Watching the student section at the GCU Basketball Game. I love their passion and how much fun they have supporting their team.

THE PERFECT DAY WOULD

BE... Going camping up north with my family in our Winnebago.

Working at

I’M CURRENTLY WORKING

ON... Helping small businesses and families ensure that they have the correct coverages and they get smarter about their insurance! I am also working hard to become more visible in the community so that people who need help can fi nd us. Giving back is a big part of what we do as well. We want to support our teachers, schools and local businesses. For example, one of my good friends and client owns a college summer baseball team in Washington. I am helping him recruit players for the Cowlitz Black Bears in the West Coast League.

CEIVED WAS... My wife and kids.

MY WORDS OF WISDOM TO ASPIRING BUSINESS OWN-

ERS... Being self employed is the most diffi cult thing I have ever done and yet the freedom is worth all the hardship!
