🤔 ABOUT LIFE180 😃
Chris Kirkpatrick launched LIFE180 as a solution to a problem. As the director of business development for a Fortune 1000 life insurance / broker dealer, he became disenchanted with the financial industry because of the lack of education provided to clients and how "financial advisors" were really just glorified sales people.
So... LIFE180 was launched to help give relevant financial education for people to create wealth. Along the journey, LIFE180 has evolved. Chris quickly realized he was passionate about not just helping entrepreneurs on how to leverage their money, but how to build their businesses.
Over the past 5 years, Chris has spent thousands of hours mastering the art of online business development for himself and clients. In 2020, LIFE180 morphed into a full service online business launch and development agency. If you need any help creating more revenue or generating more leads online, LIFE180 can help.

[@jameelbest9404]

I read the comments and people from PHP give you shit. I just joined PHP a month ago. I just got licensed yesterday. I question everything though. They heavily market IULs and me, being an Indices Trader, was heavily intrigued by the thought of not losing profit due to volatility. I also watch a lot of Doug Andrew and I saw your video on him 😂 Please continue to critique. I don’t think anyone should blindly trust anything. There is good and there is bad. I see people in PHP who ONLY are interested in recruiting and know nothing about The market fluctuations, fees, and aren’t even interested in going the extra mile to study. They do have a pretty extensive sales/recruiting training Database which I like, but there is no product knowledge database which is damning. My advice to anyone in PHP. If your a beginner like me, study study study the products and don’t just be content with what they tell you to do. Accept the critique and find ways to implement that into your Business if you stay. I have decisions to make but for now I’m going to focus on being the best agent I can be, and helping people by KNOWING MY PRODUCT THANKS MAN!

[@jameelbest9404]

One question of mine would be.. I care about the clients wellbeing, I don’t want them to put their trust in me knowing an IUL may not be their best bet. So my question is, if not IULs then what would uou prefer? Whole Life?

[@LIFE180]

Yes, I am a huge fan of whole life if used the right way. Furthermore, I'm a fan of cash flow investing, and if you align with that philosophy, whole life is the best holding tank for your cash that there is. Check out my book, Cashflow Hacking (link for free copy in description of my videos). I agree that you need to study study study the product. Nobody should recruit and build a team til you are 100% capable of supporting and educating them yourself. I have launched a whole life IMO (I didn't have it when I made this video), based on demand from people. Our focus is on building the best agents....not recruiting.

Because they don’t disclosed exactly to the client what the contract really says…decisions is based on emotions not facts…that’s why this video is very helpful and your perspective im sorry to say is something you’ll learned when you find out for yourself like what you said about your IULs products doesn’t really reflect from the beginning how exactly it should be performed in the market…and btw…PHP claims the fastest growing company but yet their history speaks for itself they didn’t live up compare to PRIMERICA where they had 100s of thousands of agents the 1st 2 years and PHP Until todays still only have 50Ks agents a nationwide knowing the company started since 2009 right?

It's a function of what you want to build for a business. If you want to put your clients first, you need to work with an IMO that is focused on building YOU before you go sell. That is why I launched our IMO recently. Because nobody else is doing it that way. You can set up an agent interview by going to life180.com if you want.

This is a lie, no one pushes you to do anything. I got license and started writing policies until I understand what was doing. I was never force to do anything.

I'd love to hear what he has to say though about all the people who lost everything in a 401k or annuity when everything went to hell in a handbasket during the pandemic. Also, he says he loves mlm and network marketing but not when it comes to people's finances which is totally misleading. Any NM company asks people to invest a certain amount of money upfront and per month, and most promise the moon with not much delivery. I've spoken to no one at PHP that has promised a dime. It's up to YOU to make your goals a reality, not your upline, not your managers, not your friends and family.

[@LIFE180]

Who lost money in an annuity in the pandemic? I'm confused on your post. You speak like you hate NM, then also like you love PHP? 🤔🤔 Just because people lost in a 401k, doesn't mean IUL is the answer. Look at history....IUL is the most misrepresented product ever

[@connectwithva]

@@LIFE180 I actually like NM. It's the shady people who abuse the NM system that I dislike. The ones who claim to like it, who claim to be "servant leaders" and are arrogant about their morals and then proceed to poach and advertise their own team or product/service. If you don't like a product, don't buy it but telling others how to live their life and how to spend their money by badmouthing another company is judgment and lack of self awareness. Your company and product and the way you conduct yourself should be enough for people to want to work with you.

[@LIFE180]

@poeticgeenetikstv4672 nothing wrong with being part of a group....just make sure your contract is independent and you are paid directly by the carrier.

[@LIFE180]

@poeticgeenetikstv4672 well, there are different trainings you can buy from different people. I have training I sell, as do others. The best way is to probably join an organization that allows you to keep your independence, but also helps with the training side of things. Honestly, that's why I have created what we are now doing (which didn't exist when I made this video) for our IMO. Allow you to keep independence but also support and train you.

[@Guard_Your_Future]

I’m in PHP, yes you own your business and get the renewals, and earn well you learn, you get licensed and they teach you how to write business with your broker and split commissions and earn well you learn as a licensed agent, and we have training on product 6 days a week in with office hours, I’ve been in for 2 months and it’s been a great experience, and I’ve already been appointed, they do teach us in detail about products, especially because if we write bad business we can get charge backs, un-appointed with carriers, and lose our license, they are thorough on illustrations, and identifying clients needs and budget to best fit the client, and prevent charge backs. As for recruits PHP offers the option and explains to each person a orientation about being a referral agent, part time agent or full time agent, and also give the option to get licensed first or to start building right away. Brokers are open with recruits that they are there to support their goals and encourage recruits to be open about what they want out of the opportunity so the Broker best knows how to coach them towards their goals. But in every company there are bad apples who try to do it their own way and reinvent the wheel. So be aware of the leadership in your upline as you should be aware of management in any job or career you start. A manager, broker, shift lead, higher up, or any leader may or not be a good fit to train you and you may not like them but it does not mean the company or opportunity is bad. Remember their are successful people even in walmart, McDonald’s, and other companies doesn’t mean it’s the company for you. Sales is not for everyone, recruiting is not for everyone, leadership is not for everyone just because you may have a friend that drops out of school doesn’t mean school doesn’t work. My personal experience has been amazing in PHP, and it’s not my first FMO insurance company, I was also in WFG and got out because it wasn’t for me, but I have friends their that love it. So ask questions, do research and make sure that any career you consider fits your needs. The grass is greener where you water it.
