Proper protection and basic finance, the tips list...
Written by Ian Brinton on Jul 10, 2009 1:24 am
Hello fellow MLM friends,
This will be my first blog entry on Better Networker, and as I am (as well as some of you probably are) just getting used to how amazing this site is, and the advantages it has to offer it might be a little rough.
A little bit about myself, I have spent many years working in customer service related positions, jumping from one type of job to the next (everything from retail to specialized industrial parts). After what seemed like a very long time working for other people I began to get comfortable, feeling like I had hit the glass ceiling so-to-speak in terms of achievements.
Luckily the opportunity to own my own business ended up finding me (by way of a company called World Financial Group). I am of course not here today to hype this business to you, it just happened to be the right opportunity for myself, in fact the only reason I mention it at all is so that I can lead into the real reason that I chose to write this blog.
One thing that I HAVE learned after spending not a lot of time in the financial services industry is the surprising lack of BASIC financial knowledge out there, one thing that I feel it is my personal job to do what I can to remedy.
So, after months of training in the field hearing various scenarios describing everything from people not properly understanding their current insurance to people not even HAVING insurance I wanted to do what I could to help.
Whether it is questions regarding the nature of proper protection (like, "Why do I need insurance?", or "How young is TOO young to get insurance?") or just questions about what kinds of insurance are even out there I would be more then happy to answer them.
I will be checking this blog at least once a day, so rest assured that any questions you may have will be answered in an expedient matter.
Again, just so we are clear I am just in the position of being an advisor, I do not actually work for an insurance company so to speak. That being said, any advice that I give is going to based on what I have learned from taking the LLQP (Life License Qualification Program) corresponding with my position as an associate with World Financial Group (who is a broker for a gambit of financial services).
To start things off, one piece of advice regarding the insurance industry. Michael Jackson left a veritable financial CRISIS behind him when he passed away, what will YOUR legacy be for your family down the road? Worse yet, if you passed away today, would your family be in the position to take care of themselves in your absence for as long as would be necessary before they could get back on their feet?
Regards,
Ian Brinton

Financial blitz of the day!
Want to know what the number one factor important for comfortable investing is? Risk tolerance! If you do not know yours, you will likely be uncomfortable with any investments that you plan to make, or currently have.
Naturally the amount of time you plan to invest your money plays a somewhat large factor in the amount of risk you would like associated with any investments (eg. If you plan to retire in one year high risk investments probably aren't a great idea).
Just remember, if you invest too securely over the long haul your investments may never actually accumulate to much after tax, and the ever present inflation...
