Words of Wisdom

“Every choice we make is the right one, as we can’t go back in time to change it.  Even if it was a mistake, we learn and become smarter.  I’ve learnt a lot!  Surround yourself with people who like what they do.  Life is too short not to enjoy the journey”

Thoughts on Insurance/Insurance Tips

“We are advisors.  We advise our clients on their risks, as opposed to providing an invoice or selling them a quote.  When we give professional advice, we will either write more policies that protect our clients OR our clients will at least be more informed and educated to make a decision on their risk.  Both options result in us being more professional.” “Map out your workflow for the week, month, quarter and year.  If you do this, you’ll come up a with a plan to spend more time with your clients, current and new. “
