No Plan B: Dan Woods on Winning as a Self-Employed Agent

In this episode, I sit down with Dan Woods to talk about what it truly means to go self-employed in estate agency.From leaving a demanding corporate role during COVID to building a thriving personal brand and carving out a niche in the new build sector, Dan shares the mindset, sacrifices, and relentless work ethic behind his success.We explore the realities of independence — the pressure, the obsession, the fear of going back — and why having “no plan B” can become your biggest driver.If you’re considering self-employment, building a personal brand, or trying to grow in a sensitive market, this conversation is raw, honest, and packed with perspective.🏆 Tickets are now available for the first-ever Personal Estate Agency Awards!Join us on 22nd October 2026 in Birmingham as we celebrate the very best personal estate agents, brokerage businesses and brokerage teams from across the UK.Book your tickets here: https://www.personalestateagencyawards.co.uk/ 📚Want a free copy of the ‘Your First £100,000 Estate Agency’ book?✅ DM me the word “BOOK” on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/estateagent.consultancy/ and I’ll send it straight over.📥 Want FREE materials to help get you your next instruction? Head to: https://www.estateagentconsultancy.com/freeintro💻 Want to launch or scale your own estate agency business?Book a free discovery call here: https://theestateagentconsultancy.as.me/sixty-consultation🎓 To access to our ‘Your First £100,000 Estate Agency’ video course. Head over to: https://www.estateagentconsultancy.com/your-first-100000-digital-course📅 Want to join our next free webinar?Get added to the VIP list to find out first: https://www.estateagentconsultancy.com/webinarAny questions?
