“You can have everything you want if you’ll simply give enough other people what they need”
Zig Ziglar
Walt Disney was a man of extraordinary vision and foresight. He knew what it would take to be successful in his chosen area of business, and he developed a formula that expressed his philosophy, and could be used in any type of business to ensure its success. He called it, his “Law of Unlimited Abundance.” Walt said that it didn’t matter what type of business or endeavor a person was engaged in, they could be successful and enjoy unlimited abundance, if they would simply follow his formula or plan. Walt Disney’s “Law of Unlimited Abundance,” stated, that to be successful, you must: “Do what you do so well, that the people who see you do it, will want to see you do it again, and will bring others to see you do it.” That’s the credo that built the enormous successes of Disneyland and Disneyworld. And in their arena of operation, they stand alone.
The Law Can Work For You!
It can be similar in your agency, too. You see, the key is to, “do what you do,” not always what someone else does, but what you do. Simply covert the “way” you perform everything done by you and your team. That’s what makes you special, sets you apart from others, and attracts people to you. You are not a conformist.
Then you do what you do, “so well,” that is, provide what your customers require, want, or need in an exceptional manner. It leaves no room for mediocrity, it’s “so well.” That implies exceptional performance.
And if you will do that so, “the people who see you do it,” (your customers), “will want to see you do it again,” (that’s repeat business), “and will bring others to see you do it,” (that’s referral business), you too, can meet with an unparalleled< explosive, success.
Because so few people perform in business that way, it sets you completely apart from all the competition. Customers can’t get the kind of caring protection from anyone or anywhere else. It’s simply not available anywhere, at any price.
So, by default, you become unique, different, and difficult to replace. And it will be reflected in your business and your bottom line. It has to. There’s no choice. It is a basic, eternal law of nature. You simply reap the results of what you’ve sown.
You Reap What You Sow
The question you must answer in your mind is, “What are you going to sow, so you will reap the kinds of rewards you wish to have?”
In the world of business, this is a most critical question, and one you would do well to take the time to answer. Fact is, most business people simply don’t understand how important the answer to this one question really is.
You see, many people go into business because it is something they have always wanted to do, or because they want a certain amount of freedom, or perhaps they want to be their own boss.
Now, those are not necessarily bad reasons, but they are selfish reasons for the most part, and while they may sound good on the surface, in actuality, some of them may not be very practical.
If you go into business for selfish reasons, and fail to give the customer his or her rightful due, your chances of success are likely to meet with hard times.
Business, like farming, requires that you do certain things in a particular order if you are to realize an abundant harvest. Now the answer to the question: “What are you going to sow, so you will reap the kinds of rewards you want?”…is simple. You only have to look at the question backwards.
First, what kinds of rewards do you want? Second, what do you have to do to get those rewards? And third, who is it that can give you those rewards?
If you will always remember that although you may represent certain companies, they are not who pays you.
Hope this helps, hope you take action. Good luck!

Why do you think some people are willing to do things others are not? What gives some the inner game to go to the next level? What motivated and propels Lance Armstrong to stand up on a hill at the opportune moment and blow away the other cyclists?
There is a lot still unknown. Still, I feel very strongly that taking action will bring about opportunity for growth, one way or another. Lessons, if considered properly, will result in growth.
This week accomplishment is on my mind. More importantly, the accomplishment of others, like you. Recorded this on the hills recently, hope you enjoy.

PS Make a difference, Be Unstoppable, Leave No Regrets
Life is so awesome! Thought it would be fun, since having FUN is an Unstoppable passion, to share some insight into one of my personal passions. You see, this is WHY we create systematic, self-reliant business models. So most days can be like those described below:
A recent Saturday morning group bicycle ride occurred that causes me to urgently share this really important message. Please…..take a moment.
One of the toughest challenges we face as entrepreneurs is staying in the mindset that takes us to the next level. It’s all about mindset, the awesome think-tank. You see, we are what we think about. So, I challenge you today with this question: What is it that you think about constantly? Do you constantly think about how good things are? Do you constantly think about how bad things are? Are you constantly seeing ways to improve your business? Or are you constantly thinking about how bad things are and that there’s no way that they are going to get better?
Here are some real world results from my recent experience with some of my riding partners. We were about 21 miles into our ride on a recent Saturday when we came along some newer cyclists in our group; we asked how things were going, how they were feeling about the ride so far. And here was the response from one of them. “All I can think about is that hill that’s coming up.” This was quite intriguing to me, as one of the keys when you are riding fairly steep hills on a bicycle is that you have to get in the right mindset. If all you think about is how difficult that hill is going to be, the hill has already beaten you. It will beat you down and beat you down, and consequently, you’ll struggle the entire way up. Have you ever experienced this in your business life? If so, what’s the answer? Well, my friend who we were riding with needed encouragement, and that’s what we gave her. We shared with her that we’d ridden this hill many times, and that it wasn’t so bad. Yes, the first time I rode it, it seemed ominous. But, after it was done, it was really fairly easy. And there’s a system that must be in place when you’re riding hills. So, I shared with her my system. I also encouraged her that about a third of the way up the hill, there is a little flat area where she could recover before attacking the rest of the hill.
You see, it’s about mindset, about having a system in place and it’s about where you position your mind before you enter into anything.
Working on your mindset is an incredibly challenging yet rewarding experience. I encourage you to take a look at the left column of this blog, near the bottom and subscribe to the link “Thought of the Day-Hill”. It’s FREE, but in fact, will pay you; your family and your business back many, many times over. This is something that I look at every single day and it helps my mindset accelerate to the level that helps us reach our goals and live our dreams!
Good luck, and see you at the top!
The only thing that matters is helping you build a business that supports the life of your dreams. About 6 or 7 years ago, our agency was gaining momentum and growing quickly. We had acquired an agency, brought in people from the acquired agency, and brought the entire team together through the definition of each specific, documented task. We were firing on all cylinders. I finally had a business that truly “supported the life I wanted to live”. I was free!
Shortly after that, I noticed the team needed direction. Another roadblock in our evolution. That’s when our Intranet was born. Building an Intranet for your agency business can bring a whole new atmosphere to your business and your team. Here’s just a few of the benefits this can bring:
An Intranet has made a tremendous impact in my agency and many others. I encourage you to do a little research and see if an Intranet is the right solution for your agency business. For an example of an intranet, check out Intranet Concepts.

Our claims service report series is one of our most requested by agents…..so what the heck is a claims service report?
Claims service reports are a custom document that we sent out to our customers a certain number of days after a claim occurs, because in our agency, we monitor all claims activity. We don’t wait for the document or the notification to come in; we go out and get it. We proactively hunt for it on carrier websites, we look at things that come in, and once we see that we proactively contact our clients, and make sure the claims process gets started. In addition to that, we talk to them about the claims process, and make sure the companies are standing up to their end of the bargain and are taking care of our customers in the manner that they should be taken care of. We really feel good about that. At the end of the process, we send them out a claims service report, and we ask for feedback on how the claim went. Our claims service report have a lot of different questions on them, which kind of lead up to the final question, which is, “Tell us about your claims experience,” and those claims service reports just time after time bring great feedback, and a lot of the responses are GREAT testimonials. “Thank you, your agency just took great care of us. We appreciate you being there for us always,” so forth and so on. So keep in mind that that also is a positive emotional situation. In other words, it’s not anything negative, it’s positive, and they’re feeling good about the situation. We also forward all claims service reports to the carriers, good and bad. Carrier claims reps need to hear the good reports too. Our carriers LOVE this. We also market to the CLAIMANTS. You got it. If we are provided a name and contact information, we start a separate campaign to the CLAIMANTS.
Here’s a situation that happened just last night: I was in the office and it was late, a client walked in, I said, “Hey, how can I help you?” And he said, “Something great happened, and I just had to come by and tell you guys, and in addition to that I want to find my agent, because I feel like I want to give him a hug. I’m that jazzed about the claims experience I just had” and I said, “Tell me more,” and he told me about the situation. What had happened was, the agent in our office had gone the extra mile. He had gone way out of his way to help him out, to make sure that a situation was resolved. It was a situation we didn’t make any money on, but he went the extra mile anyway, and got the situation resolved for our customer, and our customer was, so happy they couldn’t stand it, so they drove down here to tell him. And that particular agent was on the phone, so it was a great opportunity, that positive emotional situation was at its very highest at that point. So, fortunately, we were in an area of the office which is right near our marketing room, and our marketing gal, who’s always on it, she just kind of handed me the camera, and I didn’t even have to think about it. So I said, “Mr. Client, would you mind if we helped other people with just a few words about what just happened to you?” And he said, “Yeah, no problem, what do you need me to do.” I said, “I’d just like to record how you were taken care of by our agent, so I can share this with other people who might ask about our services.” He said, “I’d be happy to.” And right there on the spot, full of emotion, he recorded the testimonial. So, that’s a perfect example of a positive emotional situation, which is the time that you always want to ask for a testimonial, because that’s when you’re going to get your very best testimonials.
Be the “Go To” agency because you take care of your customers! “No one cares how much you know until they know you care.”

PS “We don’t build businesses, we build people and people build businesses.” ~ Zig Ziglar
As the new year begins, most people have created their list of resolutions and goals. It is during this time that it’s critically important to clearly understand the “WHY” in what we do. This is a significant factor in knowing where you want to go and culminate this year.
Our team recently had the opportunity to view a video about the “WHY”. It was a video that has caused daily reflection for some time. In fact, so powerful, we felt it would be unfair not to share it with each of you.
The focus is WHY we do what we do, whether it be in business or in life. Below are some of the key points of the talk. We hope these simple, yet important thoughts truly make a difference for you, your family and your business this holiday season:
Why – Why we do what we do – It is our purpose, our cause, our belief system. Why do we get out of bed in the morning or why does an organization exist ?
How – How people do it – your differentiating proposition. The processes by which we do what we do. Does our make “all the difference” for others?
What – What is it that we do? Do we have clarity on our mission?
People aren’t in it because of what you do, they are in it because of why you do it; When the opportunity to connect with people who believe what you believe arises, a common why occurs. It is our hope that everyone will consider the WHY in everything you do and that your true belief will reflect in your efforts, whether it be business or pleasure, family or friend. Every relationship matters.
There is so much to be thankful for–our families and friends, our health, our homes, our daily lives. And there is incredible opportunity going forward in 2012.
Thank you for your support, confidence, your business and friendship!
