WFG Convention-Goers and Business Owners Changing Lives
Whether they’re attending a WFG convention or spreading the word about this unique business opportunity in their own communities, World Financial Group associates have one thing in common: their mission to change lives in changing times. An article recently written by Rich Thawley, a member of the company’s Chairman’s Council, discussed the unique attitude that sets the company apart from others in the insurance and financial services industry. He explains why now is the time for his associates to make a difference for their clients and their business, not a time to throw up their hands and give up.
Although it might seem strange to see so many smiling faces and such a positive attitude at any WFG convention or meeting, considering that this company is in the financial services industry and the economic outlook in our world is still very grim, it is a genuine happiness that can be seen. As Thawley explains, right now is actually an exciting time for his associates, their clients, and their families. He compares the current economy to the early 1980s, when he started out in the financial services industry and when a recession was hitting North America and other countries quite hard. He managed to make his business thrive in this tough economy precisely because he was able to help individuals and families change their lives by changing their financial foundation. Since then, he’s been working on the mentorship and company leadership side of things, but he is now returning to work in the field with clients again, and couldn’t be more excited about it.
So how does he meet his fellow associates and recruit new clients? He works individually with people by doing one-on-one recruiting interviews and follow-up interviews, which takes up a huge chunk of his schedule. Despite the time commitment, he says it is great to be so busy working directly with the people who need it most again. He meets with potential clients and current clients in their homes or in his office – wherever he can help spread the word about the importance of saving and the opportunities his company can offer. He talks to couples about how they can achieve their goals and dreams, and he involves his own family in every aspect of his business. And he isn’t alone in this attitude. This is the kind of attitude that so many WFG associates bring to their business.
