    Should I Get Competing Illustrations? Why It's a Bad Idea

    "Should you compare competing policy illustrations before starting your Infinite Banking journey?" As more people discover IBC, that is a question I hear coming up more than ever.

Let's clear up some common misconceptions and help you move forward with confidence to a solid start with IBC. Listen now!  Show highlights include: If you aim for Infinite Banking mastery before implementing it, here's my advice after 15 years of specialization. (1:04) How to qualify an advisor.
