It is a common belief that a life insurance agent’s offer of an annual review of your policy is nothing more than a ploy to try to get you to buy more insurance. I know from experience with my own clients that many are so sales phobic that their honest belief is...

For those of us who own and operate small businesses, we pour all we have into feeding our family, paying our employees and hopefully leaving something of value behind to our heirs. For many that entrepreneurial drive is cut short by a premature death and without...

As I wrote that title it occurred to me that I might be showing my age. The advertising slogan for Prudential used to be (may still be?) “Own a piece of the rock”. Anyway, Prudential is a stand alone company when it comes to their treatment. In an article...

I seldom have a week go by where no clients get surprised by what is in their medical records. I’ve said it before and you know me, I’ll keep repeating it. Medical records are a collection of facts (lab and test results) and rambling thoughts transcribed...

I wrote this back in 2008 and while heart health is just as relevant today, what is good for avoiding heart issues is also good for lessening the severity of a cardiac event if one does happen. If you do have a cardiac event, less severe is the best way to acquire...
