I have great admiration for people who seem to be making the most out of life and I enjoy reading stories of adventurers and those living “non-traditional” lives. Like the family who sold everything and is biking from Alaska to the southern tip of Chile. Or the family who builds schools in Afghanistan. Or the twin accountants from Colorado who are trying to ski each of the world’s 7,000-meter peaks. Or Laird Hamilton, the guy who surfs all the time.
Not all of us want to live just like that, but we each have the same opportunity to live just as fully. If you could design your own full life, what would you do with it? With whom would you spend it? Do you have a tugging in your gut that is telling you that you want to live differently? Whatever that may be, that is your adventure.
What does this have to do with insurance? Nothing directly. But we have seen dreams of adventure, of retirement, of career changes postponed or cancelled because of unfortunate losses uncovered by insurance because of poor planning.
Too often the insurance part of your financial plan is seen as the wet blanket, as the conscience that keeps you from doing what you want. But we see it completely different than that. If you want to be in control of your own adventure, having a good insurance plan means you don't have to stop if something happens. In fact, we think having confidence that your risk plan is up to snuff gives you greater freedom to pursue more of what you want.
Making sure all wheels of your financial life are turning at the same speed is important, and we're but one small piece of your financial puzzle. But when called upon to help you design an insurance plan that fits your goals for living, we'll be there! You dream it, we’ll help plan it.
