I was listening to a great Kenny Loggins song, "This is it," which made me think of the DOL /Fiduciary Rule and the way many advisors are reacting. Now, I know that many of you have read my articles and books for years and are used to seeing me write (or hearing me speak) and relate many things to music. But, I think this song sums it up: take a look at some of the Lyrics and think if this is the way you are responding to the soon to be applicable DOL/Best Interest ruling.
"There've been times in my life
I've been wondering why
Still, somehow I believed we'd always survive
Now I'm not so sure
You're waiting here, one good reason to try
But, what more can I say? What's left to provide?
Are you gonna wait for a sign, your miracle?
Stand up and fight
Make no mistake where you are
(This is it)
Your back's to the corner (This is It)
Don't be a fool anymore
(This is it)"
I’m afraid this is what's happening in our business. Some think this is the end. Others know that they have been here before, and they always survived. And, the successful advisor is not gonna wait for his/her “miracle." They are going to "Stand up and fight.” You see, it is as simple as this: it is what it is. It is here and there are solutions. I am amazed at advisors saying they’re going to wait to see how this plays out. Maybe they will repeal this DOL ruling. I am going wait (for the miracle). Well, guys and girls... it ain't happening. The world will never be the same. However, I am getting pretty excited about the opportunities. A couple of weeks ago I wrote in a blog that The Ohlson Group feels as though we are entering the "Golden Age of Life and Annuity Sales." If you feel that way, we are the answer to your dreams. We will be with you all the way.
We have the best assessment and recommendation software in the business for your qualified and non-qualified sales. We can show you how to make 2017 and beyond the best times you have ever experienced in the business. But, you have to get on it now. Our phone lines are open, and we want and need your business. And, just maybe, you might need us as well. We want to be your partner and go through this to victory... side by side. I think the balance of this song really sums up how, and why, you should be working with The Ohlson Group and The Safe money Places Agent Network

"The waiting is over, no don't you run
No way to hide
No time for wondering why
It's here, the moment is now, about to decide
Let em believe
Leave em behind
But keep me near in your heart
Know whatever you do, we're here by your side
For once in your life, here's your miracle
Stand up and fight"
This is it. Give us a call. We don't have a miracle, but we will stand by your side. We have the tools, the aptitude and the attitude that you are deserving of. We want and need your business and...this is it. Thanks, Kenny Loggins, and thanks to you for your time and business.
