Insurance Marketplace - To Bid or Not to Bid
Over the past 6 months, I have written often on the competitive market that is now insurance. If you have not bid your insurance for a few years, now is the time. In most cases, not bidding your insurance now will result in higher premiums and coverage that is not as broad as it could be.
My booklet, "How to Bid Your Insurance," is now available for sale, or download it here for free.
Search Feature
I have just finished implementing a site search feature for my websites and blog. I figured now that I have more than 1,000 articles, definitions, posts, newsletters, white papers, and ebooks, I had to make it easier for visitors to find what they were looking for on my website.

Life In Maine and Other Stuff
I've spent some time lately speaking to trade groups about some of the management ideas of Peter Drucker. He was an amazing thinker (and a great curmudgeon ) who is largely forgotten in US business circles. A recent article in the Wall Street Journal reports a surge in sales of Drucker books in China.
Here are some of the Drucker ideas I've been talking about:
--The purpose of a business is to create and keep customers.
--There is nothing so useless as that which is done well but that should not be done at all.
-- Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by results.
Simple ideas that are powerful when you look below the surface.
Do You Have the Right Insurance?
Contact me to discuss an unbiased review of your insurance program. Do you have the right coverage? Can your policies be fine-tuned to improve the protection? Can changes be made to ease the administrative burden insurance causes? Are you getting the service you should from your broker? I can help. Remember, I don't sell insurance so I'm unbiased.
