From The Desk Of Pat Wedeking

A little bit pregnant? 

What if a client told you they were going to try a mutual fund for a few weeks to see if investing really works? 

As with many things in life, it is most profitable for producers to buy in to a selling system. What if a producer wanted to do estate planning and tried to find a few rich folks to see if worked?  What if a producer pursued a seminar selling system and delivered only a few sporadic, unrehearsed presentations?   What if someone pursued worksite marketing and called on businesses for a week to see if that business was a good one? …And the list of analogies could go on and on. 

This principal holds true in our business niche. You gotta plug in to get turned on. 

At Only Financial Group we offer an array of services all engineered to make you money.  Take leads for example. We offer an assurance to producers everywhere that they will have a positive return on investments in leads. Stay open-minded to all lead types; work them diligently, keep them all coming, provide feedback and we guarantee that you will make money.

If  you were to consider plugging in, what would you look for in an opportunity before making a long-term commitment to stay with it?

 The Promise of Spring
By Jim Rohn
www.JimRohn.com 

Fortunately, following the turbulence of winter comes the season of activity and opportunity called springtime. It is the season for entering the fertile fields of life with seed, knowledge, commitment, and a determined effort.

However, the mere arrival of spring is no sign that things are going to look good in the fall. You must do something with the spring. In fact, everyone has to get good at one of two things: planting in the spring or begging in the fall. Take advantage of the day and the opportunities that spring can bring.

It is the promise of spring that as we sow, so shall we also reap. Faith further provides to us an irrevocable law decreed in heaven which assures that for every disciplined human effort, we will receive a multiple reward. For each cup planted, a bushel reaped, for every good idea given to another, many shall be given to us in return. For every demonstrated act of faith, a multiplicity of the rewards, and for every act of love given, a life of love in return.

Just remember it is a natural characteristic of springtime to present itself ever so briefly, or to lull us into inactivity with its bounteous beauty. Do not pause too long to soak in the aroma of the blossoming flowers, lest you awaken to find springtime gone with your seed still in your sack.

With the intelligence, wisdom, and freedom of choice given to us as humans, exercise the discipline to plant in spite of the rocks, weeds, or other obstacles before us. The rocks, weeds, and thorns of the world cannot destroy all your seeds if you plant massively enough and intelligently enough. My suggestion is to choose action, not rest. Choose truth, not fantasy. Choose a smile, not a frown. Choose love, not animosity. Choose the good in life in all things, and choose the opportunity as well as the chance to work when springtime smiles on your life.

Spring shows us that life is truly a constant beginning, a constant opportunity, a constant springtime. We need only to learn to look once again at life as we did as children, letting fascination and curiosity give us welcome cause to look for the miraculous hidden among the common.

Get busy quickly on your springs, your opportunities. There are just a handful of springs that have been handed to each of us. Life is brief, even at its longest. Whatever you are going to do with your life, get at it. Don't just let the seasons pass by.

If I Can, YOU CAN!
By Lenny Robbins

It’s not hard to find articles that claim to have the magic answer on how to increase your life insurance business.  Open any magazine or email promotion and you’ll find someone saying, “Simply follow our system and prospects will beat a path to your door.” 

If you’ve been in the business any length of time all these methods tend to run together and never seem to live up to their assertions.  Sure, it may have worked for them at some point in time, but now their “business” is selling their system to you

That is not what this article is about.   

The “secret” to dramatically increased business is so simple, so fundamental, that you may dismiss it without giving it a try—but before offering more I should give you some background. 

Ok, now the secret...
