Above the Clouds ...: Winning Strategies from 30,000 Feet

By Mike McGlothlin

What do you think about at 30,000 feet? Usually when people have their head in the clouds, they're dreaming of what they might do, someday, if they get lucky. But when Mike McGlothlin has his head in the clouds, he's thinking about what you can do - right now - if you want to grow your business. The thoughts in this book literally come from "Above the Clouds." Back in 2014, Mike and his team at Ash Brokerage set out to be thought leaders in the annuity industry, helping advisors take advantage of the booming market and changing the way Americans think about retirement income planning. So, Mike started writing blogs every time he stepped foot on an airplane ... which as you'll see is fairly often. Using everything from basketball to boll weevils, this book explains all you need to know about annuities, retirement planning, entrepreneurship and more. Take it on your next flight - you'll step off the plane inspired and motivated to do your best work. Topics Include 1. Retirement Income Strategies: Guaranteed income, retirement transition, longevity risk, sequence of returns risk, market risk, tax efficiency 2. Sales Motivation: Insurance industry outlook, fiduciary standard, leadership, inspiration, innovation, opportunity, success 3.
