Massage therapy is great for an achy body, but what about an achy brain? This week I met with Chad Hunter the massage therapist in my business referral group. Ostensibly, these one-on-one meetings are to learn more about each other’s business and how to increase referrals to one another. Often times, you also talk about […]
This week I have had an unusually high number of calls from people that can’t afford or can’t qualify for health insurance. I have virtually nothing to sell these folks to help them out. The mantra of most of the older folks is, “If I can only make to age 65”. Medicare: affordable guarantee issue […]
It was a slow day at the senior health fair I was attending. When it is slow you talk with the other exhibitors and one of them happened to be Dr. Shomir Banerjee. In addition to urgent and primary care, Dr. Banerjee is trying to blaze a new path by making house calls for private […]
They had no health insurance until they qualified for Medicare at age 65. Medicare, or socialized medicine for some people, was a blessing to them with regular doctor visits and medication to ease their pains.
Shortly after I had a great meeting with a woman who designs employee wellness programs for employers, I took pizza, soda and cookies for lunch to a client and his crew. I am sure that my lunch offering pushed their health ratings back into the dark ages. Of course, one component of ‘wellness’ is happiness […]

Most good sales people know their client is not necessarily buying from the company they work for but from the person. We make most major purchases through other human beings, not machines. […]
When it comes to finding a health insurance plan, it is similar to going to a choose-n-cut farm to get a Christmas tree. Sure, the thought of having a good health insurance plan is as appealing as the warm glow of nicely decorated Christmas tree but there is a lot of work and anxiety involved. […]
It is no fun to explain to someone that their work is sub-par. Recently, I had to fire the person that was developing business and post cards for my business. This person is truly a wonderful human being but their lack of business and listening skills became a deal killer. While I try very hard […]
Hate infects the soul. Practice reciprocity of tolerance. It is fun to hate and we get encouragement from TV, radio, movies, magazines, our commutes to work and more. When we hate we feel superior to others. However, when we hate, it becomes easier to hate things or people that are really just annoyances. Hate just […]
Whenever you start a new business you have to think about marketing. Inevitably, you are asked to to boil down your inner business self into a one sentence tagline. I hate taglines. They sound so phony and contrived. Many are the brain-child of some marketing company that has no clue as to what you or […]
