Are You Prepared?



Did you know that 1 in 8 people seek medical attention for an injury each year? Or that the average cost of a hospital stay in the U.S. is $9,700? How about that 1 out of 2 men and 1 out of 3 women are at risk of developing cancer during their lifetime?

Most employees are not honest with themselves about their financial security. This means that they are not prepared for unexpected medical costs. And let's be honest, most medical expenses are unexpected.

That is how Aflac can help. Our policies help protect what you have worked hard for and we provide cash benefits to help cover the costs of everyday life when these unexpected events happen. And that is why the time is right for Aflac!

Contact me today and find out how you can protect yourself!

Dont Give Up.... Dont Ever Give Up!

If you watch ESPN like I do then you know what today is... The Espy Awards. You also know that this is a time that ESPN does the majority of their work to raise funds for the Jimmy V Foundation. With that thought in mind, and after watching the infamous speech this morning as I got ready for the day I thought I would share portions from it:

To me, there are three things we all should do every day. We should do this every day of our lives. Number one is laugh. You should laugh every day. Number two is think. You should spend some time in thought. And number three is, you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be happiness or joy. But think about it. If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full day. That's a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you're going to have something special.
It's so important to know where you are. And I know where I am right now. How do you go from where you are to where you wanna be? And I think you have to have an enthusiasm for life. You have to have a dream, a goal. And you have to be willing to work for it.
I just got one last thing, I urge all of you, all of you, to enjoy your life, the precious moments you have. To spend each day with some laughter and some thought, to get you're emotions going. To be enthusiastic every day and [as] Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "Nothing great could be accomplished without enthusiasm" -- to keep your dreams alive in spite of problems whatever you have. The ability to be able to work hard for your dreams to come true, to become a reality.
Cancer can take away all my physical ability. It cannot touch my mind; it cannot touch my heart; and it cannot touch my soul. And those three things are going to carry on forever.
- Jim Valvano, March 3, 1993 
Cancer touches us all in so many ways. It may be that you have had to face the diagnosis, or a friend or family member has. It is a major blow no matter what. Let me help you get prepared! Contact me and let's make sure you are ready financially to protect you and your loved ones from this devastating disease.

Not Just A Duck

 

When you file an Aflac claim, the cash benefits bypass the doctor and medical facilities, unless assigned otherwise, and go straight to you. No need for middleducks! http://bit.ly/1mRFRdd

I am sure you have seen the commercials... they always involve a duck and as the people talk about how they get cash for their claims you hear the duck saying Aflac!

Do you really understand what it is this commercial is saying? I talk to people every day and when I ask them what they know about how Aflac I tend to hear the same thing, "That is the duck!"

That is the extent of most people's knowledge. Sometimes they go even further and tell me they know it pays when you are hurt and can't work. Usually unless they have Aflac or have had it in the past they are unaware of how Aflac works and what all it offers.

Accident policies that pay for on or off the job injuries. Short term disability that offers paycheck protection if you were unable to work due to a sickness or injury. Plans that offer financial assistance for cancer, heart, hospital, or intensive care. Dental and vision insurance. As well as various whole and term life insurance products.

The best part is that when you file an Aflac claim the cash benefits go directly to you. You get to choose how you use the money. The doctor or hospital doesn't get it. We pay you direct!

So go ahead, contact me and let me tell you more about Aflac so you know more then just about the duck!

Aflac Cancer Protection

Did you know that according to the American Cancer Society 1 out of 2 men and  1 out of 3 women will be  diagnosed with a form of internal cancer during their lifetime? That averages out to be about 41% of Americans will face this challenge in at some point.

I spent five years working as a practice manager of a cancer center and have seen first hand not only the physical, mental and spiritual strain that a cancer diagnosis can put on both the individual and their loved ones, but also the enormous financial strain that it creates.

That is why I am proud to be able to offer the Aflac Cancer Plans. We have several different options available both to businesses and individuals. I am a big believer that everyone should take the necessary steps to protect themselves financially because you never know when it might be you or a family member who has to face that dreaded diagnosis.



We cover children for free up to age 26 under an Insured Individual Parent, or a Two Parent Family Coverage. Benefits are paid toward things such as initial diagnosis, 2nd surgical opinions, chemotherapy & radiation treatments, hospital stays, surgical benefits, nursing services, transportation, lodging and even Hospice Care.

Don't wait, contact me today and set up an appointment to learn more and prepare to better protect yourself.
