Find Someone You Can Trust

When building, the most important part is always the cornerstone. The cornerstone refers to the first stone set in any construction – it is very important since all other stones are set using the cornerstone as a reference. The entire structure is built, in reference to the cornerstone.  When it comes to insurance, the cornerstone is simple, trust.

With certain parts of our life, we share with only those we trust. We always need to trust our doctors, lawyers, and those who handle our finances. We only share this information with those we trust. That’s why picking an insurance agent is based on trust. An insurance advisor helps select the best protection plan for your family according to your needs and finances, and therefore, we always turn to buy insurance from someone who we feel at ease with. Besides, you want the best for your family, so you need an advisor that makes you feel secure with your family’s future.


Trust is not something everyone can so easily build.  It is something that takes time to build. When choosing an insurance advisor, pick someone you are able to trust. After all, we always only want the best for our loved ones.

Do you have what it takes for a career in insurance?  



When people are young, they often grow up saying they want to be a doctor, engineer or lawyer. It is many years later, when we reach post-secondary, do we realize that becoming a doctor or engineer or lawyer may not be the right fit for us. We may have discovered other skills and talents we have that can be better utilized in other careers. A career in insurance is also not meant for everyone, it really is meant for a unique type of individual.
Before you leap into a career in insurance, ask yourself if it is right for you.
  • Are you goal-oriented and enjoy reaching challenges?
  • Are you a people person who enjoys meeting new people?
  • Are you able to maintain positive working relationships with friends, family and acquaintances?
  • Are you able to clearly communicate with others your point of view?
  • Are you able to make quick judgments and decisions?
  • Are you able to work independently and manage your own time?
  • Are you ready to start writing your own paycheck?
If you answered mainly yes to these questions, then you have your answer. You have what it takes not only to be an insurance advisor, but also to thrive and succeed as an insurance advisor.
As an insurance advisor, you need to be a people oriented person who can meet new people and communicate different insurance options available to them comfortably. That’s the key to the business, the more people you know, the more your business will grow. Being an insurance agent grants you the flexibility to make your own schedule, and the earning are dependent on the effort and time you put it. You reap what you sow, and for those who want to reap a lot, there is much opportunity for financial growth.

A career in insurance may just be the career change you need. The questions is, do you have what it takes?

Take Your Umbrella!



Last weekend I’ve been basking in the beautiful weather! While I was too busy enjoying the weather, I ignored the calls for rain in the forecast. After, all, the likelihood of rain was low. My mother, called out to me as I left for work yesterday morning, reminding me to take my umbrella with me. I told her, I didn’t want to carry around an umbrella, besides, and it really wasn’t going to rain. She told me to take it ‘just in case’. I didn’t listen to her, and a few hours later on my way back home, I got soaked in the drenching rain. I wish I had brought that umbrella with me so much while I was getting soaked.

In suggesting I bring the umbrella along with me, my mother was providing me with insurance in case the weather did act up. In life, we cannot always know ahead of time what will happen, sometimes, life can get messy, but we can do our best to plan for things ahead of time and protect ourselves from tough times. Insurance provides a safety net to help get back on our feet when we face challenges. It’s always better to prepare us ahead of situations rather than get wet and regret it afterwards. Protecting yourself and your loved ones can be as simple as making sure you have a plan in place ahead of time. An insurance policy provides you with this umbrella, this plan, and keeps you dry and on your feet when other things take priority in life.

After all, it really is better to plan, and bring everything you need, just in case’.
