In this episode of the Stuff About Money podcast, Erik Garcia, CFP®, ChFC®, BFA™ is joined by a long-time friend of the show, Couples Counselor Dr. Matt Morris, and first-time guest Michael Baudin.

Listen in as they discuss what work-life balance is and, maybe more importantly, what it is not. This recording extends from a casual conversation among friends that originated at a Pelicans NBA basketball game. Erik felt compelled to share this compelling dialogue with Stuff About Money listeners. 

Drawing from his expertise as a family therapist, Dr. Matt offers valuable insights, while Michael contributes his perspectives as a successful entrepreneur. Together, they conclude the discussion by offering practical strategies to attain fulfillment in one's professional and personal life.

They address pressing questions such as: Is work-life balance merely a myth? How can entrepreneurs effectively juggle the demands of business, family, and self-care while maintaining their well-being? And what sacrifices are acceptable in the pursuit of business growth? A standout moment in the episode is when Dr. Matt underscores the significance of creating margin in one's life to achieve a sense of “balance”.

None of the insurance carriers pay you a commission for coming in 2nd place. 1st Place is King. 2nd Place is for losers. Literally, not figuratively. The incumbent wants you to lose. The other competing agents want you to lose. Most of the time even your prospect wants you to lose. Therefore ... SALES IS WAR! 

In this throwback episode of the Millionaire Insurance Producer podcast, host Charles Specht explains how to prepare a New Business Prospecting Strategy for 2023 that will help you to dominate and write up to 50% more commission in the year than you would have otherwise. *** And, he talks about the "DOMINATE 2023 WEBINAR" he's conducting on 12/16/22.
