What's your favourite number?

I'm sure everyone out there has a favourite number. Mine is seven. For some, it's eight (especially the chinese), for others, it could be nine, or three or any other number, usually between one and ten. The other numbers outside of ten that could be a favourite number is one hundred, thousand, million etc.

For Dr Sanjay Tolani, a near 20-year world famous financial planning guru, his favourite number is way beyond three, even four digits.

His favourite number, as he himself will tell you...is...28,000!

28,000? That's a unique number.....but why 28,000?

According to Dr Tolani, the average human lifespan is about 28,000 days, which when converted to years is about 77 years. For the purposes of his presentations, he usually rounds up to 80 years.

In his 28,000 presentation, Dr Tolani divides the 80 year lifespan into four quadrants:

- 0 to 20
- 21 to 40
- 41 to 60
- 61 to 80

In his video, Dr Tolani would summarize what happens in each quadrant, and why holistic insurance coverage and financial planning is so important. It also guides viewers on what type of insurance can help in each quadrant of the 28,000 day lifespan.

So without further ado, here's the video.

Special thanks to Dr Sanjay Tolani for sharing his expertise.

Why I chose to create this blog (The Journey)

Growing up, I was told that being a financial planner (FP, or insurance agent) was not a feasible job. I don't recall the real reason given. All I remember, maybe even heard was that the job was a, shall we say, shady one. Probably because back in the day, the rules and regulations were not as strict as today. For all chinese folks especially, if an FP approaches you talking about insurance, you would probably think, "Are you trying to curse me to death?" So because of that mindset, among other things, I never thought about being an FP.  That was....until two years ago. I took a serious leap of faith to explore the world of financial planning. How this went down was I went to a job interview (or so I thought), in response to an ad on a job portal. Long story short on the job ad, it promotes making about $10k a month, potentially. I've seen enough of such ads to know it's a recruitment ad from an insurance company. Maybe that's why I didn't bring my CV to t...

Warm Market vs Cold Market

Warm market. Cold market. Every agent that steps foot in this industry has heard these four words before. What are they exactly? For the purposes of disclosure: Warm market - Family, relatives, friends, colleagues etc. Cold market - Complete strangers (Imagine walk-in customers into retail shops) So, the age old question remains: Which market should an agent approach first? Quite honestly, it really depends on how strong your social circle is. That means: Warm Market - Approach if this circle of yours is very supportive of you and will help you in anyway. Cold Market - If your warm market turns a cold shoulder....approach the cold market. You may be thinking too....how do I approach cold market? Before COVID, there used to be events like road shows and seminars for agents to approach strangers and bring them into the events. Now with COVID, digital marketing and leads agencies are the ones creating the awareness for agents.  So if the cold market is your optimal option, no harm t...
