The Three-Letter Word That Can Stop You Cold
By Jane Herman

Jane Herman I am willing to bet that there is something going on in your head that is keeping you stuck and closing down your options unnecessarily - and that you are not consciously aware of it. Why am I so sure? Because it happens to almost everyone. It is an unconscious glitch in your thinking process that translates a common four-letter word into a deceptively dangerous three-letter word, and that's when the problems begin. The four-letter word is 'what' - the three-letter word is 'how,' and it is the 'how' word that can stop you cold.

WITI Member Kathy Arena Invents Fun, Educational Toy Designed to Acclimate Children with Security Measures

Kathy Arena As the Transportation Security Administration begins to test the body scan machines in airports across the nation and the holiday travel season is about to reach its peak, heightened security measures can intimidate adults and children alike. In effort to help children understand these measures, California mom and inventor, Kathy Arena, created the Scan-It Toy X-Ray Machine.

Scan It ® is an educational and creative play toy that helps children become acclimated with airport and public spaces security.

Protecting Your Financial Future

WITI Members - Special Offer! Assets Hard to See
If you own a $1,000,000 building you would make sure to protect it with insurance. We know that the contribution people make is greater than things. This human life value can be calculated by just taking your annual income x the number of years before retirement. Your value is probably around $2-3 million or more. You are a money making machine and that machine needs to be protected for you and your love ones.

We make excuses for not insuring our personal money making machine, "We feel good, so what could happen to me now... bad things happen to other people... these things may happen to me but only at an older age." We don't like to think about something that could disable us because it is depressing.

You may be busy, but now is the time to ensure before something happens. Check on your personal life, long term care, critical illness, disability insurance or employee company benefit package. We are here to help you get the right product at the best price.

"At a recent WITI Boston event, I met a former client from 10 years ago when I worked for another company. We sat together at the meeting and got re-acquainted. Since then, my former client has introduced me to several IT executives at their firm to generate interest in our services, which may lead to new business. This demonstrates that networking and participating in WITI events can have very positive results...both professionally and personally."
