If you run a team, a company or another organization, Culture above all else Drives your Success.  And you have to Truly KNOW your people to build and sustain a winning culture.   Highlights Empower your subordinates (employees; teammates) so they take the action you'd take, not ask ‘what should I do?' Breed Readiness and Competency; the process I used and share here is: Study – Discuss – Role Play – Simulate – Perform – Learn from it Checking the organization's Temperature often; have TWO independent ways to know what your people are thinking and what's going on. Build a Clear, Unbreakable Culture so your team clearly knows what the company and you stand for and every action supports this culture especially when you're not around.   Links and Resources from this Episode Connect with Gary Pinkerton https://www.paradigmlife.net/  gpinkerton@paradigmlife.net https://garypinkerton.com/  https://clientportal.paradigmlife.net/WealthView360    Review, Subscribe and Share If you like what you hear please leave a review by clicking here   Make sure you're subscribed to the podcast so you get the latest episodes.

In this episode of The Rich Mind podcast, we welcome back Gary Pinkerton to talk about wealth-building tools to reach financial freedom that are not often understood by the masses. From navigating the pros and cons of term vs whole life insurance, to highlighting the power of financial longevity in the insurance world. This episode promises to change the way you think about life insurance. If you want to build a future for your family that's not only secure but also powerful, don't miss out on the insightful conversation. _______________ Key Points discussed in this episode: - Family banking concepts can be complex but are built on simple principles of building and preserving wealth. - Whole life insurance serves as a long-term wealth building vehicle that reflects consistent growth over time. - Mutual whole life insurance companies have a long history of keeping promises, which establishes trust and reliability. - Unlike the riskiness associated with banks, mutual whole life insurance companies cannot do fractional reserve lending and their investment strategy is focused on low-risk and long-term borrowings. - Term insurance and whole life insurance have different purposes and structures. While term insurance can provide important protection in the short term, whole life insurance can offer wealth-building potential in the long run. - The use of life insurance for wealth creation and protection is a proven strategy for generational wealth. - It's crucial to understand the purpose of the family banking system and how it can be used for wealth creation and protection for different age ranges and life stages. _______________ Connect with Gary - https://garypinkerton.com Check out Gary's Podcast - Gary's Gulch _______________ Looking to start your own Podcast?
