WHAT’S UP WEDNESDAY LIFE INSURANCE ON KIDS 101 Give this some thought Drop your questions below ... -It is the BEST gift that any grandparent or parent could give their grandchild or child. (Or any cool aunt or uncle). -It is less than $20 (depending on the type of policy) a month. Which is probably less than you spend on getting them MATERIAL things once a month. -It will guarantee their insurability for life. -We have a limited pay option (permanant), you pay on it for 20 years and then never pay a penny after that! The policy stays in force with the cash value and dividends growing. -Gift for after college. -It is NOT morbid. -Super easy and NO underwriting exams and can all be done over the phone. -Reach out to me if you have ANY questions.

A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared. He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Until it suddenly stopped making any progress and looked like it was stuck.... So the man decided to help the butterfly. He took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily, although it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings. The man didn’t think anything of it and sat there waiting for the wings to enlarge to support the butterfly. But that didn’t happen. The butterfly spent the rest of its life unable to fly, crawling around with tiny wings and a swollen body. Despite the kind heart of the man, he didn’t understand that the restricting cocoon and the struggle needed by the butterfly to get itself through the small opening; were God’s way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings. To prepare itself for flying once it was out of the cocoon. MORAL OF THE STORY: Our struggles in life develop our strengths. Without struggles, we never grow and never get stronger, so it’s important for us to tackle challenges on our own, and not be relying on help from others. Choose a challenge you have been facing today... and crush it! Go after it and meet it head on! If you want to drop your challenges below.... we will help keep you accountable for the week to come

MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY DONT GIVE UP ON YOUR DEAMS Once, there was an older man, who was broke, living in a tiny house and owned a beat up car. He was living off of $99 social security checks. At 65 years of age, he decide things had to change. So he thought about what he had to offer. His friends raved about his chicken recipe. He decided that this was his best shot at making a change.... He left Kentucky and traveled to different states to try to sell his recipe. He told restaurant owners that he had a mouthwatering chicken recipe. He offered the recipe to them for free, just asking for a small percentage on the items sold. Sounds like a good deal, right? Unfortunately, not to most of the restaurants. He heard NO over 1000 times. Even after all of those rejections, he didn’t give up. He believed his chicken recipe was something special. He got rejected 1009 times before he heard his first yes. With that one success Colonel Hartland Sanders changed the way Americans eat chicken. Kentucky Fried Chicken, popularly known as KFC, was born. Remember, never give up and always believe in yourself in spite of rejection! Good things don’t come to those that wait... they come to those and bust their butt, work hard and don’t take rejection!
