Here's the history and reason behind how Discovery started.

WARNING
ALL DESPERATE INVESTORS

I've just had a long chat with a person who's tried, twice, to recruit me to "invest" money into a "scheme" that "apparently" delivers "eye watering" returns.... and almost instantly what's more. Sounds fantastic doesn't it.

When I asked for the contact details, of this so called "expert" who is apparently in Wuhan, obviously not registered to do business, has zero reference to any regulator, globally, won't take my calls... etc... etc....I caution anyone, who falls for these schemes.

You see, the oldest trick in the book is to make sure that those that are in, get paid, but it comes from new money. That's called a ponsi scheme. This then builds faith and belief, which encourages those "investors", to eagerly recruit others, in the promise of a fat bonus.... or a commission if you like. No problem.... if it's legit.

Simple economics and experience, in investment markets, has proven that there's no such, "sustainable" vehicle or product or system that could continue paying such extraordinary returns. One day, it will come crashing down.

I will always stand corrected, if anyone can prove, beyond a shadow of doubt, that such a scheme is legit, regulated, or sustainable!

I'm all ears!
You've been warned. No charge by the way...🤣

DISCOVERY AND VITALITY

Is it a gimmick or can it add huge value to your planning?

Ignorance is not bliss. Ask me the "how" and the "why" Discovery differentiates so dramatically from their competitors.

AND....Telling me you have dread disease or disability cover certainly does not mean you're comprehensively covered. WHAT you're covered for.... how much will pay at claim stage and will that condition ever be covered again.... are some questions you ought to have!

ARE YOU SORTED?

I mean, really and truly sorted, in every aspect, effectively, maximizing opportunities, saving on costs and improving results, or protecting yourself against Any Possible setback?

If you answer yes, how do you know this.... when last did you check.... and most importantly, HOW did you check?

When you "check your health" once a year, (I'm assuming).... do you simply look in the mirror, rely on someone's opinion.... or do you see a qualified medical professional who provides you with a full factual report of your health status?

If the answer above is, you consult with your Doctor, then why not consult with a Qualified professional to "check up" on your Financial Health, both for today and your future?

Inbox me for an obligation free consultation. You may just be surprised how much and what you are missing!

FINANCIAL PLANNING

A generic term to describe something perceived to be a bore, yet vital in our lives. When last did you review your Financial Planning products, such as life insurance, Short term insurance, Retirement products etc. Product enhancements, new innovations, Regulation changes... just to name but a few reasons why you should review at least once a year.
Inbox / email me to set up a time to meet and discuss your needs. It's worth it.... YOU are worth it!

NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION

How about being kind to yourself. How about reviewing where you've been and assess if you're on track for where you want to go.
How about reviewing your Financial Plans too. Maybe not a bad idea.

The Discovery Group has so much more to offer than just the Insurance benefits you need.
VALUE is the key word today. If you seek better value for your spend, then consider moving your Financial Planning products to Discovery. I'm prepared to do the evaluation for you, at no upfront cost, if you implement the proposed changes through me.

Sound fair? Drop me an email by clicking on the email button above.

Wishing you all the best for 2019.

Here's something brutal, but completely true about the Psychology of Savings in SA.

I urge you to get the coffee machine going, settle into a comfortable chair, perhaps get a notepad.... and watch this 60 min panel discussion, hosted by Bruce from CNBCA. It will be well worth it.

Here's the link. Enjoy it.
