Level UNLOCK rewards list. Courses on Self-Improvement (with homework). Weekly meetings for setting goals and having accountability. And... Something else I've decided to include... 👉 POWER BROKER 👈 The first part of this community goal is to help you become the person you've wanted to become for so long. The second part... showing you how to use your new self to employ a high level of influence on key decision makers in order to gain a desired outcome. That alone is strong. But, you have to first gain a high level of self understanding, self control and you have to be able to use a Power Broker level of persuasion responsibly. As one of my mentors told me long ago; with great power comes great responsibility. Stay tuned.

/// Note: Own Your Rise is part of the Self-Improvement division of Adviser Speaks /// That said... When I was a teenager, a judge told my mom that if I didn't change my ways, I'd end up in jail or dead by the time I was 40. I was taking drugs and alcohol on regular basis. I was doing criminal activity. (won't go into details) and I was in failed relationships, again and again and again. Then in 2006, I had my ah-ha moment. That was when I started my journey along the path of self-improvement. And the first step in my journey was to learn about my personal struggles with emotional mental health. So if your starting your journey in personal development, you may be asking yourself this question: Are mental health and self-improvement related? Absolutely. And here at Own Your Rise (a division of Adviser Speaks), my team and I consider personal mental health to be a HUGE part of self-improvement. Not in the sense of a diagnosis commonly found in the DSM-5 or anything, but more in a 'learning how our minds work' kind of way. The reality is that the genesis of our actions can be found in how we think. Another reality is that in order to retrain how we think, we need to understand how or brain operates. In other words, if we're going to retrain our brain to think better, we must first understand what it is were going to retrain. How it works. How it's powered (aka, fed). How it's triggered. And so on and so forth. We also need to know 'how' to train it to do things differently. Now, a lot of people may think, 'well Paul, that's mental health. We're talking about self-improvement. Isn't that comparing apples and oranges? Well, sort-of. But they each depend on and effect one another - greatly. Think about it this way: If you asked a Cardiologist, does the blood delivering red blood cells to the heart have an effect on the heart itself? They would say yes. If you asked a Pulmonologist whether or not the lungs have an effect on the hearts ability to function since it's main purpose is breathing, not blood circulation, they would tell you the two are directly connected. If you asked a psychologist how much does our mental wellbeing effect our ability to improve ourselves, aka self-improvement, they would have so many answers that you'd have to make an hour long appointment just so they could give you the basics. Now, I'm not a psychologist but I do have a TON of personal experience in learning about psychological challenges, overcoming them, and knowing what it's like on this side of the 'what the f%#& was I thinking' person I used to be.

Hey Skoolers, this is how a Power Broker operates. There's a reason insurance companies don't give us delays, denies or deposes. 🎬 Here's a short video segment of a Webinar I did back in 2022 on dealing with an insurance company playing difficult. It'll give you a brief understanding of one of the agencies I know about - and how the game works. Being a 3rd generation Power Broker, it's one of my strong skill sets. And I 💖 LOVE 💖 using it. Oh... and another tool for those currently struggling with Insurance companies. Your state insurance regulators. I'll post more about them later. So tell me... What corporate policy brick wall is blocking you right now? Let's get to work on breaking through it as a community. Enjoy the video. 😊
