Now anyone can study less and learn more with this system.

Insurance agents, listen up. 

Also anyone reading this blog whether you have to always study and keep up with the insurance changes like we do or you are one of my happy clients. You don't have to work so hard! Check this out: Click Here!

What if I told you...

  1. You could get better grades, with less studying than you are doing now.
  2. Smart people aren’t just gifted – they have a different learning strategy (that you can copy).
  3. Most people have no idea how they learn things. As a result, they can't train themselves to be smart.
  4. Click Here!
These things may seem unbelievable. However, using the tactics in Learn More, Study Less, I have:
  • Aced university finals with little or no studying.
  • Scored first in an advanced inter-province chemistry exam. Without even being aware I needed to take the test until five minutes before writing it.
  • Read over 70 books in a year.
  • Scored in the top three percentile for a national exam. Despite never having taken the course being tested.
  • Minimized course work to maintain an A average while running a business, taking frequent international trips and still having time to socialize and party.
I say this not to brag, because my accomplishments are relatively modest. In researching extraordinary learners I've found people who have achieved A averages with triple the full-time course load, memorized entire books and breezed through degree programs designed to fail most people.
I’m saying this because I believe you can do it too.


Learn More, Study Less made sense--it didn't sound like bullshit. I used you as motivation. Any time a moment seemed to hard, or too stressful, I'd whip open your blog and read something. Before I knew it, I was back hard at work.

Now I am a completely different person. I live a blessed, full, life now. I can't thank you enough, but I'm of the belief that people who deserve thanks very rarely hear it. So, here it is: Thank you Scott, for everything you have done.

Nurses, Could you live without $3400 a Month?

In the US there are approximately 183,400 nurses working in physician offices and over 1.5 million at medical/surgical hospitals.1  Many of these employers do not provide disability insurance to their employees.

The median income for a nurse is $65,470, an amount that most would consider worth protecting in the event she/he could not work due to illness or injury. With a disability policy that would be around a $3400 monthly benefit - TAX FREE!

Customize a plan to fit their needs that could include Own Occupation - meaning if he/she is disabled and unable to perform nursing duties - they will receive a benefit even if they choose to work in another profession.

1. Bureau of Labor Statistics/Occupational Employment and Wages, May 2014


Did You Know.....
Women make up the majority of new claimants. Fifty-six percent of new disability claims approved during 2013 were for women and 44 percent were for men. The percentage of claims for men increased in both 2012 and 2013 after claims for women increased in 2010 and 2011.
2014 CDA Long Term Disability Claims Review
Sample – (Texas)

Female Nurse

Non-tobacco
No health issues
90 day elimination period

Terry Scott Insurance Agent Superior WI/Duluth MN aces insurance test!!!

I'm not bragging but I just wanted to explain how as your insurance "go to" guy, that I really do stay up on things. Here is a note that I placed in my Facebook page:

I’m done with the stress of taking 2 tests. Every year as an insurance agent I have to be “re-credentialed” in the areas and products that I offer my clients (Life and Health; please don’t ask me for a quote on your home or auto). I got 100% and 95% (trick question?) on Medicare.

Also, have you watched my YouTube Interview? It isn't anything thrilling, action packed or fast paced car chasing stuff, but if you've not worked with me, this will give you an idea on how I think and why I give my best to my clients. Check it out here.

The Cost of NO INSURANCE in Superior WI and Duluth MN (and surrounding areas)

Here is a chart that I found that shows the penalties for not enrolling in the ACA (read about my solution below).


You may have to use your mouse to "enlarge" the chart so it's readable. So, that's the "bad" news. You'll note that the "REMEMBER" at the bottom states that even if you decide to pay the penalty because (for now) it's cheaper, you are still without insurance. That's where I can help. More importantly, for those that do enroll in the ACA Healthcare (I can assist you with navigating; and there is no fee for me to help you) that only ensures that the doctors and hospitals get paid!!! You still have the high deductible to pay. You may have guessed it; I can help you with that too. 

It cost you nothing to call and get your questions answered: 888-241-4031. 

Make it a great day!

Live Your Life Purpose; FREE COURSE

GET MY FREE MINI COURSE: Live Your Life Purpose... 
I’m not an “insurance agent”; even though that may be the situation in which I meet many of my clients and readers. Sure I maintain an (ongoing) insurance education and licenses because it is necessary to do so to be able to help people with those types of products when they need and request them. But I’m really a “life and legacy™” coach.

I teach people how to live their purpose.


 To live one’s purpose, there are many areas* that need to be in balance. The area that people generally need help in the most (and immediately) is in the area of finances. That’s why I have at my disposal products and services which help my clients to create cash flow, and also the insurance type of products that will help them protect that cash flow and acquired net worth. When you visit my webpage: www.terscott.com/lifeandlegacy , you’ll see a list of Cash Flow Ideas and Products along with Cash Flow and Income Protection Ideas and Products; of which some include insurance.

Today, I want to give you a free gift that has to do with your life purpose. It may seem strange to you as it is coming to you from your “insurance agent” because it doesn’t directly have to do with “insurance” but it has to do with you, your future and then your fortune.

This is a complete mini course that you can do in a day but ‘re-visit” weekly and monthly to clarify what you purpose is and how to live it; it is a work in progress. This course will be sold for $99 in the near future. My hope is that those of you who accept this gift will use it and then return and leave your comments below.

7 Steps to Financial Security


7 Steps to Financial Security

Step One – Inspect What You Expect: Track Earnings and Expenditures

Keeping a close eye on your financial portfolio means no surprises when it comes to how your money is doing.

Periodic “inspections” of your financial condition allow you to better manage your financial affairs. The power of the internet is now a valuable tool to monitor your personal finances online.

I always encourage my clients to have a yearly “inspection” of all of their insurance policies. This is one of the many “no fee” services that I do for my clients. Since this is time consuming and most of my work now is done via the Internet and online, I can’t always do this. Clients should never worry about having someone look at their policies and at minimum they themselves need to do so and then call their agent with any questions or concerns. People may think that if they reveal what they have they might be sold more, or something. But they need to be assured that this is not the case. When I’ve looked at policies I was able to save my clients (and many who weren’t my clients) a lot of hassles and headaches in the future. Beneficiaries had changes, addresses were incorrect, etc. Always look at your paperwork at least yearly and if you can have the trained eye of someone in the industry, by all means, do so. It’s like getting a physical from a doctor. Your insurance professional is just that; a professional. Use him or her.

This is part 1 of a 7 part series at http://tlsinsuranceagent.blogspot.com. You will soon be able to subscribe to this blog at Amazon. The site is meant for both insurance agents and clients offering information, news and (my) views in a transparent manner.

I found out something about healthcare.gov today; seems like things always change there. As most insurance agents know, Obamacare does not cover dental for the parents; only the children. Parents have to purchase a dental policy for themselves. Here's what I found out; there are dental policies available on healthcare.gov! But you have to purchase them at the time you are purchasing your healthcare plan. Looking into this, the policies might be just fine, but they are more expensive and your agent can typically do better. And the big thing is, when you have questions who are you going to call? Healthcare.gov, some company "out there"? Or you agent. Hmmmm, for me it's pretty much a no brainer. As an agent I've spent too much time online and on the phone with that. Why would I want my clients to have to do that?

Precise Leads for insurance reps; beware.

To my insurance agent reps and insurance agent fellow reps in the industry: 

I have been getting leads from Preciseleads.com and I requested a few days ago to cancel my account, to stop sending leads and not to debit my checking account for new leads. They did not cancel, they did not stop sending leads and they DID debit my checking account. I spoke to my rep via phone and she stated she will have to speak to manager and get back to me as a manager was not immediately available. What kind of company does not have a manager (or someone; or more than one manager) available to assist you? I will let you know how this ends. At this point, it's not good business!

If the money is not replaced into my checking account within 24 hours, I will submit a complaint here at the BBB

Typically I have found Precise Leads to be "good" upbeat and helpful. However, today when I explained that I did everything right, used a support ticket, messaged and texted my account rep to cancel everything as explained below, they did not have manager available to assist me to get things taken care of "now". In this day and age of doing things, companies can not afford to act this way. They need to be able to help their clients immediately. It's been said that everyone knows at least 250 people personally but I think now with social media that has increased a hundredfold. 

If you have comments good or otherwise, I invite your comments below.
