Most people don’t think twice about insuring valuable assets such as their cars or homes . However, millions leave themselves financially vulnerable every day by completely overlooking the importance of protecting something worth much more – their paychecks .

That’s why the nonprofit LIFE Foundation is once again coordinating Disability Insurance Awareness Month (DIAM) in May to educate consumers about the important role disability insurance plays in having a sound financial plan . This year’s campaign will have a simple message – Protect Your Paycheck – to help consumers connect disability insurance with the important protection it provides . The campaign is also a call to action for producers to reach out to clients and prospects and encourage them to protect their paychecks with disability insurance . In addition, benefits specialists can pass the message on to their employer-clients that May is the perfect time to let employees know about their disability insurance benefits and the need to protect their most valuable asset, their paycheck .

“This May, we want to get the message out that if you have a job and earn a paycheck, you need disability insurance,” said Marvin H . Feldman, CLU, ChFC, RFC, president and CEO of the LIFE Foundation . “Our goal is to educate Americans about the benefits disability insurance provides, and we hope agents and companies will do their part to help ensure people get the coverage they need .”

Disability Insurance Awareness Month Campaign Tools for agentsTo help companies and producers take advantage of the DIAM campaign, LIFE has created a toolkit that provides insurance agents and benefits specialists with the resources they need to execute their own marketing and communications initiatives . The kit can be accessed at www.lifehappens.org/diamkit and includes embeddable videos, downloadable flyers, a customizable news article and release, eCards, a marketing guide – and more .

LIFE also is coordinating a variety of consumer awareness-building initiatives and will launch new resources to help the industry reinforce the benefits of disability insurance to clients . At the core of these efforts is a new consumer-facing microsite, www.protectyourpaycheck.org, which will house interactive tools, videos and educational information that focus on disability insurance and reinforce the Protect Your Paycheck theme . The site was launched in late April .

To get consumers thinking about the importance of their paycheck and all the essential things that it pays for, LIFE also will sponsor

the “This Moment Made Possible by My Paycheck” photo contest . The contest will ask consumers to submit a photo and caption depicting a memorable moment made possible by their paychecks . The entrant with the best photo and caption will receive a $500 gift card . The contest will run throughout the month of May and will be accessible through the microsite and LIFE’s Facebook fanpage .

DiaM Spokesperson: Rosemarie RossettiLIFE also will sponsor national radio public service announcements featuring this year’s campaign spokesperson Rosemarie Rossetti . Rossetti’s life was changed in an instant when a tree fell on her while she was biking, paralyzing her from the waist down. It was her disability insurance that helped her through her darkest years when she had no paycheck coming in .

As a professional speaker, Rossetti knows how to get to the crux of the matter with her message on the importance of disability insurance and why agents should be selling it with conviction . Her story will be available to share through video messages to both the industry and consumers and through a realLIFEstory flyer .

For more information about the 2011 DIAM campaign, please visit www.lifehappens.org/diam or contact Maggie Leyes, LIFE’s DIAM campaign coordinator, at [email protected] .

About Disability Insurance Awareness MonthDisability Insurance Awareness Month (DIAM) was created to get American workers to think more about the need to protect their greatest asset – their ability to earn an income . Held in May, DIAM is an industry-wide effort that is coordinated by the nonprofit Life and Health Insurance Foundation for Education (LIFE) .

About LIFEThe Life and Health Insurance Foundation for Education (LIFE) was founded in 1994 in response to the public’s growing need for information and education on life, health, disability and long-term care insurance . LIFE also seeks to remind people of the important role insurance professionals perform in helping families, businesses and individuals find the insurance solutions that best fit their needs .

Live RightKinder Brothers International

Let us remember that, as much has been given us, much will be expected from us, and that true homage comes from the heart as well as from the lips, and shows itself in deeds.

We believe you create a future, characterized by high performance and fulfillment, by making a responsible commitment to think right, work right, sell right, study right, and live right .

Here are ten strategies for forming the habit of living right.

• Compete, don’t compare. Be yourself, but learn to be your best self . Winning means excelling at being you .

• Live on the right side of “but”. When we live on the wrong side of that little conjunction “but”, we say things like, “Oh, I guess the sales meeting was OK, but it was a little long .” Living and selling on the right side of “but” causes you to affirm, “Yes, the competition gets tougher, but I work for the best company . I sell the best products and it’s great to be alive and selling for my company!”

• Develop what it takes. It’s often said about successful performers, “They’ve got what it takes!” They are intensely goal-oriented, have high energy levels, know their sales lines, do not take “no” personally, are impeccably honest with themselves and customers, show high levels of empathy, and are 100% accountable for results .

• Enrich your mind. Learn the riches of reading. Setting aside 15 minutes a day will enable you to read up to two dozen books a year. To get the most from you books and periodicals, read with a pen or highlighter in hand . Enrich your mind – and improve your sales!

• Build goodwill. In selling, as in business and politics, you will need a lot of people spread out in the right places, whom you can depend on .

• Know what is important. The greatest thing in the world, love – love of family, home, friends, associates, company, and country .

• Live within income. Somewhere along the line, the lack of good financial management becomes a barrier to professional growth, no matter how talented the salesperson . It eats into concentration and confidence .

• Extend your stay. According to the experts, there are seven steps to take if you wish to live longer, healthier days on earth: stay active, be optimistic, cope with adversity, reduce your weight, plan significant events, change the pace, and have periodic check-ups .

• Live in balance. Successful individuals many times fail in life for reasons that have nothing to do with how they perform in their jobs . Keep your professional, physical, financial, personal, and spiritual dimensions in balance, and you will function at full capacity .

• Finish strong. It is the spirit that motivates, that calls upon our reserves of dedication and effort, that decides whether we will give our best, finish strong, or just do enough to get by .

Make 2011 the BEST Year of Your Career!

PAGE 14 THE FINANCIAL ADVISOR NEWS OF NAIFA-DALLAS 5/11

After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. She said, “I love you, but I know this other woman loves you and would love to spend some time with you.”

The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my mother, who has been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit with her only occasionally.

That night, I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie.

“What’s wrong, are you well?” she asked. My mother is the type of woman who suspects that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news.

“I thought that it would be pleasant to spend some time with you,” I responded. “Just the two of us.”

She thought about it for a moment, and then said, “I would like that very much.”

That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up, I was a bit nervous. When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about our date. She waited in the door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary.

She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an angel‘s. “I told my friends that I was going to go out with my son, and they were impressed,” she said, as she got into the car. “They can’t wait to hear about our meeting.”

We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and cozy. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. After we sat down, I had to read the menu. Her eyes could only read large print. Halfway through the entrees, I lifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting there staring at me. A nostalgic smile was on her lips. “It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small,” she said. “Then it’s time that you relax and let me return the favor,” I responded.

During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation – nothing extraordinary, but catching up on recent events of each other’s life. We talked so much that we missed the movie.

As we arrived at her house later, she said, “I’ll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.” I agreed.

“How was your dinner date?” asked my wife when I got home. “Very nice. Much more so than I could have imagined,” I answered.

A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn’t have a chance to do anything for her.

Some time later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place Mother and I had dined. An attached note said: “I paid this bill in advance. I wasn’t sure that I could be there; but nevertheless, I paid for two plates – one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night meant for me. I love you, son.”

At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time: “I love you” and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve. Nothing in life is more important than your family. Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be put off till “some other time.”

Somebody said it takes about six weeks to get back to normal after you’ve had a baby... somebody doesn’t know that once you’re a mother, “normal” is history.

Somebody said you learn how to be a mother by instinct... somebody never took a three-year-old shopping.

Somebody said being a mother is boring... somebody never rode in a car driven by a teenager with a driver’s permit.

Somebody said if you’re a “good” mother, your child will “turn out good”... somebody thinks a child comes with directions and a guarantee.

Somebody said “good” mothers never raise their voices... somebody never came out the back door just in time to see her child hit a golf ball through the neighbor’s kitchen window.

Somebody said you can’t love the second child as much as you love the first... somebody doesn’t have two children.

Somebody said a mother can find all the answers to her child-rearing questions in the books... somebody never had a child stuff beans up his nose or in his ears.

Somebody said the hardest part of being a mother is labor and delivery... somebody never watched her “baby” get on the bus for the first day of kindergarten... or on a plane headed for military “boot camp.”

Somebody said a mother can do her job with her eyes closed and one hand tied behind her back... somebody never organized seven giggling Brownies to sell cookies.

Somebody said a mother can stop worrying after her child gets married... somebody doesn’t know that marriage adds a new son or daughter-in-law to a mother’s heart strings.

Somebody said a mother’s job is done when her last child leaves home... somebody never had grandchildren.

Somebody said your mother knows you love her, so you don’t need to tell her... somebody isn’t a mother.
