Time for our final NAIFA Live Watch Party of the year! Come out to E4 Insurance Services or Minot State University Student Center for a NAIFA Live Watch Party on Thursday, November 21st beginning at 11:00 am.
In this presentation, we'll explore how life insurance policies can be a powerful tool in creating tax-free cash flow for clients during retirement. We'll dive into advanced strategies like utilizing life insurance loans. By using assets as collateral, clients can access funds without selling investments or disrupting long-term growth plans. Join us to learn how you can help clients make informed decisions and achieve secure, flexible retirements, with life insurance and collateral-based strategies as key components that:
are not subject to political influence
are not subject to stock market volatility
are guaranteed to grow in value
will not show up on an income tax return

At any given time, you can find Walter leading a mastermind class, offering one on one professional development, hosting book talks, and coaching hungry business leaders and entrepreneurs towards success.
