Start your day at 4 am and you will be in Good Company
Do you start your day early? Many well-known people like the CEO of Apple and Starbucks, get up at 4 am. Every one of these folks chooses different activities. Some work out, catch up on email, or meditate. But, they are all trying to escape interruptions.
Why everyone needs life insurance
I often find the misconception among unmarried people and those without children that they do not need life insurance. That could not be further from the truth.

The reality of these statistics is apparent right now.
