99 Problems & You are 1

From 0 to 100 real quick.

Rule #1: Stop over thinking

Rule #2: Do not procrastinate

Rule #3: Do not ever show your hand

Rule #4: Stay level headed

Rule #5: Stay Consistent

Rule #6: Smack every Financial Advisor who is NOT a licensed Insurance Agent/Advisor

Rule #7: Do Not forget RULE #6

No. I will not bite my tongue. The frustration I feel hearing clients say, “Oh my Financial Advisor said I did not need life insurance”. (Okay Dave Ramsey)
Just because you have a college degree does not make you knowledgeable when it comes to insurance. I said what I said.
I wish Financial Advisors and Insurance Agents would learn to work together. If both parties have the clients best interest at heart, then financial and retirement planning could be simplified.

Fixed and Indexed Annuities are beneficial to clients. I need every Financial Advisor to stop telling clients Annuities are a bad thing. Listen up. ANNUITIES ARE BENEFICIAL! If a client’s annuity is properly set up, they could stop risk of loss, while potentially gaining money, have income for life, and not have to work after retirement! It’s a win win situation. We all know Social Security is not enough to survive on. So stop lying to clients! (AND THE CHURCH SAID AMEN).

Now, let’s pray and play nice. Muah!

Do Not Disturb.


If you see an ambitious person on a mission to be successful and financially free; DO NOT DISTURB them.

So many of us are so distracted by people, places, or things that we tend to lose focus on our goals–

As I am writing this I can hear my Dad’s voice: “You need to focus. Stop worrying about ____”. I will let you guess what he said. Disclaimer: He did not raise me and we are more like friends. (Well my old man does have a point).

When you are chasing your dreams or in a multimillion dollar industry, you have to stick to your plan, and follow through with it or you will get lost in the sauce.

It is important to be able to take direction and stay focused. If that direction is going to make you seven figures, guess what? Distractions gone.

Ask yourself these questions:

Is that person paying your bills?

Is that place building your book of business?

Is that “thing” going to be able to be invested?

Is that person, place, or thing an asset or a liability?

If you are saying no to all of these and all of them are liabilities, turn your mind and heart to DND; You have an empire to build.

C’est la vie.

My Affirmation

“I can not control everything, but I can control what is in my bank account.”

(Repeat)

“I can not control everything, but I can control what is in my bank account.”

(Repeat)

“I can not control everything, but I can control what is in my bank account.”

(Again but loudly)

“I can not control everything, but I can control what is in my bank account.”

You are highly favored.
You are successful.
You are healthy.
You are strong.
You are worth it.

Do not move in silence.
Celebrate your highs and lows.

And just one more thing: “may the odds ever be in your favor”

I Begin Again.

I read someone’s Facebook post a couple days ago, and it said something along the lines of, “Don’t be afraid to begin again”.

Today, I erased old goals on my white board and made new ones. I flipped through old insurance notes I had made through the year, and had a couple of laughs. I compiled old leads and scrubbed through social media and made a new call list. I opened up a book, “Millionaire Women Next Door” by Thomas J. Stanley, Ph.D. (highly recommend);I read half way through the book, and so far it has given me a new perspective. Today, I made phone calls that I usually would never make. I took the initiative to study for my SIE exam. Today, I began again.

As an Insurance Agent trying to build an agency, I had to ask myself several important questions today. The biggest one I had to ask is do I want a house that is already built, but has a foundation that is cracking? OR. Do I want to start from scratch with no foundation or brick?

Guess what? I am choosing no foundation or brick. I am going to give this industry all I have. When I come out on top, I will have two running Agencies. I am focusing on what I set out to do from day one, and ignoring all of the noise.

I am unapologetically different. See you on the otherside.
