Big Plug for the Regions! 🫡

I’ve spent time in some of the regions but most commonly Taranaki, New Plymouth - and what I’ve learnt is that they do a full day of mahi, sometimes they will be doing it late at night following up on administrative duties etc - but they never say they’re too busy

They’re not too busy to answer a call or call you back…
They’re not too busy to book a time and stick to it…

They say what they’re gonna do… 👊🏼

Now, not calling all Aucklander’s out but the majority I feel are always complaining about being too busy, time poor, not getting into the gym, yoga, Pilates, eating right, even taking a simple walk on the beach for 30 minutes…

This is nothing to do with insurance but I feel in New Zealand we need to be more like the regions here in Auckland - I’m trying to keep the positive vibe that I feel every time I go down there and come back to Auckland with, sometimes we get caught up in the hustle bustle life - but it doesn’t have to bring a sense of “angst” or “intense feeling”

Just a thought, let’s be better Aucklanders 😎

Kia Ora Team!

Quick one from me to kick off the new year - and an important one

Please don’t rely on give a little pages, the government health system, friends ans/or family if you become sick, or unable to earn an income– take responsibility and get yourself some advice around personal life, health and disability insurance

My advice is complimentary like many other advisors out there so there’s no reason not to get all the information - ask for the right questions that relate to you and your situation - and find a advisor that understands you and your needs

Might as well sort yourself for the “What if..” scenario now 🫡

I love the beach 🏝️

It’s like it I’m drawn to it daily
And get so much from being barefoot 🦶
Breathing in the salt filled air

Also makes you feel like it doesn’t
Matter how much life can toss you - negative or not - your life is worth living - good and bad 😎

Covering you and/ or your family, your business - is just as important as breathing in my eyes, as taking daily walks, doing what you NEED

Make sure you keep your insurances policies up to date, make sure you review them annually - and if you need assistance, I’m happy to take on new clients to discuss your needs. Whether you have insurance that is current or none at all 👐🏼

Ka kite, have a great week 😊

Happy Hump Day! 😎🤙🏽

As we cruise into the warmer weather with bbqs, sunny days and fingers crossed no sun burn! 🔥 🦞

It’s a perfect time to get your ducks in a row for the new year - and RIGHT NOW 🦆

As a financial adviser this year more than ever I have urged people to do budgets, figure out what they are spending on - necessary and unnecessary - and the most common theme is … they had no idea their spending was an issue that they were not on top of 😅

I started using SortMe - and it worked a treat! Showed me unnecessary spending I was doing, showed me how much I would save per year - and boom 🤯 epic savings goals appeared! But it’s much more than that, and the support from the team you get - amazing 🫡

This is just one area as an adviser I look at with clients - but we apply a holistic approach to being an adviser, such is with who we have as part of our wider network 🙌🏽

This being mortgages, lending, finance, ACC assistance, domestic insurances such as home, vehicle, contents and commercial with public liability, asset cover, tools etc

And of course, personal insurance - investing in your MOST valuable asset - YOURSELF 👍🏽😎

So if you want to look at getting your ducks in a row from now and continue to, please get in touch 📱 🙋🏻‍♂️

Ka kite, have a great week!

Right now people are tightening up BIG TIME on their expenses 💰

Cutting down on spending is definitely great but in the RIGHT areas - alcohol, Uber eats, multiple TV subscriptions, take-aways etc…

But why is personal insurance something that people actually think of cutting first? 🤦🏻‍♂️

Is it because it is the cost and seeing it’s a saving worth making?
Is it seen as something not of value?
Do you really understand what it does?

Out of all my clients who have had claims whether it be via medical, or a much larger lump sum payout from their trauma - I’ve never heard them say “ I wish I actually had less insurance cover”

Remember, WE are our greatest asset - our ability to earn an income, take care of ourselves, our family’s and/ or businesses
🙏🏽

I say be proactive, do budgeting, do I need analysis or what you prioritise as most important – but remember if the wheels fall off YOU… what have you got to cover yourself? 🤔

Don’t forget - kids are just as important to get cover for - yes, we have great benefits for kids up to the age of 14 (I think?🤔) through the public system, not denying that

But remember they are just like us (just smaller and waaaay cuter 🥰)
And they are susceptible to the same conditions, issues etc that we are

Private health insurance for kids under 20 years of age is cheap, yes, I said cheap!Less than your mocha frappe chino vino a week! 👌

Plus you can get further cover with specific insurers with trauma 👍🏽

Touch base if you wish to have a look at ensuring your Whanau (including the little Tamariki)

Ka kite have a wicked weekend 🫶🏼
