FREEDOM
August 2014
LIBERTY NATIONAL
FREEDOMFreedom isn’t necessarily a topic many of us reflect on frequently or on a day-to-day basis. For many of us, freedom is something that has been a part of our lives since the day we were born, living in this country and never knowing anything other than having numerous rights and liberties. Of course, for others, freedom is a concept thought of often … those who have served in the military, or who were perhaps born where freedom is not an automatic right might consider the concept of freedom more regularly. Regardless, the fact that we, as American citizens, enjoy living in a free country is something to be very grateful for.
Our freedom includes the ability to live how we want to live; to believe
what we want to believe; and to pursue the kind of life, work, and happiness we want. We have chosen to pursue a line of work I believe can be extraordinarily beneficial to us, our families, and the people we serve. And I also believe this line of work carries its own significant amount of freedom with it.
Liberty National (fittingly named), is a place that not only offers much opportunity, but lets you determine the path your career will take. Just as this occupation doesn’t confine you to how much you can grow your career, it doesn’t even confine you to a desk, to a set schedule, lunch hour, hourly wage, or even location. When you think about it, LNL really offers you significantly more freedom than many other professions.
So, with so much liberty, there are virtually no limits to what you can accomplish.
Ask yourself what it is you hope to achieve with your career. Do you want to climb the Company ladder? To train and lead others? To make more money than you’ve ever made in the past? You have the option to grow your career as much as you’d like here, so if you have the readiness to advance, you are most certainly in the right place.
LNL also gives you the freedom to expand your horizons – literally. Your day-to-day activities allow you to take your work outside a traditional office space. If you dream of being part of this Company’s growth throughout the country while developing your
own career, it’s possible to make that happen! There is uncharted territory throughout the United States waiting for us and it’s only with your vision and openness to new possibilities that we can bring new opportunity and coverage to new areas.
There is uncharted territory throughout the United States waiting for us, and it’s only with your vision and openness to new possibilities that we can bring new opportunity and coverage to new areas.
I know for me freedom and flexibility are absolutely essential components of a career that is both worthwhile and enjoyable. And this opportunity is certainly one that has these perks and more, allowing you the freedom to schedule, locate, and build your career how you see fit. Realize you hold the key to your own destiny, and the future of an incredible career lies in front of you. Be courageous enough to embrace the freedom that holds so much potential for you, and know you have the ability to turn that potential into something remarkable.

Gene Roberts Director of Sales@GeneRobertsLNL
With the celebration of Labor Day, over the years the month of September has become synonymous with the word freedom. Although freedom has a different meaning to different people, it’s traditionally been linked with the idea of responsibility. At Liberty National, we’ve been charged with the responsibility of protecting America’s working class through our unique dual market business model.
Freedom means a person has the opportunity, and burden, of making choices and decisions. This also means he or she must bear the consequences of his or her actions. We’re afforded the opportunity to choose which path we want to follow. That’s why freedom is such an important concept at Liberty National. We have the freedom to become or accomplish whatever we want to, whether that’s following the Agent career path or moving into a supervisory role as a Supervising Agent, Agency Director, or ultimately becoming an Agency Owner. How long it takes you to get to your desired destination is totally up to you.
We have the freedom to own and operate our own business within the guidelines of Liberty National. Everything that exists in the universe has a purpose and follows a certain law, from the stars in the night sky that guide the traveler, to the way the rain revives barren land. We’re in a highly regulated industry, which is why we have not only insurance regulations, but Company rules and guidelines to follow.
We have best practices and playbooks at our disposal. We don’t have to reinvent the wheel. Just plug into a system that works. We’re given every tool necessary to succeed, a road map to success, mentorship, and guidance by some of the best leaders in the industry. This gives us the freedom to grow as big as our vision and work ethic will allow. We’re in business for ourselves, but not by ourselves, and that’s what freedom at Liberty National means to me.

Director of the Month
Congratulations to Director Bernard Blassingame
for achieving Liberty National’s July Director of the Month Award.
Bernard’s name will be engraved on a Director plaque displayed at the
Home Office. Executive Vice President and Chief Agency Officer
Steve DiChiaro recognized Bernard at the August Directors’ meeting.
Liberty National Book ClubLeadership Lessons of the Navy SEALs In honor of our Freedom issue this month, the Liberty National Book Club selection is Leadership Lessons of the Navy SEALs by Jeff Cannon and Jon Cannon. No one understands the importance of leadership principles better than those who serve and help protect our country.
This isn’t your average leadership guide. Unlike other books, it details actual battle-tested strategies you can examine to create results within your Agency. Readers can inspect valuable techniques that provide tools for everyone to grow and aim for success. Learn how Navy SEAL units lead others and team build to reach their goals. Real life stories from military and business professionals teach readers how to boost the morale and productivity of their teams.
Effective communication, organization, structure, trust, preparation, and training are only some of the important concepts addressed in the leadership guide. Look at leadership from an entirely new perspective, and implement the processes that will innovate and invigorate your Agency. Take advice from those who have encountered unfathomable obstacles and are still successful.
Read the book? Discuss what you learned with other Agents on the LNL blog!

WHAT DOES FREEDOM AT LIBERTY NATIONAL MEAN TO YOU?
TWEET @LIBERTYCAREERS AND LET US KNOW!
WHAT DOES FREEDOM
MEAN TO YOU?“Freedom at Liberty National means you’re free to dream as big as you dare. You have the freedom to control your financial well-being and choose your destiny. The question is: what will you do with your new found freedom?”
–Steve DiChiaro, EVP and CAO
“Be yourself. If you water yourself down, you lose your power. If you try to please people or fit in, you lose your passion. If you try to encompass everyone’s ideas of you, then you lose the freedom and joy of being uniquely you. It’s much easier to love yourself when you’re being yourself.”
–Bernard Blassingame, Director of Sales
“Freedom to me is feeling free to do, say, and be, anything, whatever, and however. I am myself. Come what may, I believe I’m free. It’s all about YOU at Liberty National.”
–Shashi Parekh, Director of Sales
“Freedom at Liberty National is all about living like no one else will now, so you can live like no one else can later. Our renewal contract is designed for people who want to build long-term wealth for themselves and their families for generations to come. Liberty National provides the opportunity to build your business and earn your freedom, all while using a proven system of success.”
–Camy Smith, Director of Sales@Camy_Smith
“Freedom at Liberty National is having the means or opportunity to do and accomplish what you dream regardless of your education, gender, or nationality. We can become the authors of our own actions.”
–Sami Nizam, SVP, Leadership and Development
@SamiNizamLNL
“Freedom is both a blessing and a responsibility. I’m blessed to have been born in a country where we’re free in every way and to have gone to work for Liberty National. The Company gives me freedom to earn based on my efforts and skills. At the same time, I’m responsible for doing my part in maintaining those freedoms. For my country, freedom means paying my fair
share to keep it strong and speaking up when I should. For my Company, it means doing my part to make Liberty National stronger and provide for its continued success. I pay the opportunity forward that I was so blessed to have extended to me.”
–Roger Rich, SVP, Worksite Sales@LNLWorksite

THE LAW OF THE LADDER 9From John Maxwell’s The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth
“Character growth determines the height of your personal growth.” - John Maxwell
Most people focus too much on competence and too little on character:
1. Focus on being better on the inside first. Character comes from within, so focus first on getting your inside right, because the inside provides the foundation for outside growth.
2. Follow the ‘Golden Rule’. It’s a wonderful character builder; it helps you focus on others and create the right foundation to build on.
3. Only teach what you believe. Borrowed beliefs have no passion or power.
4. Value humility above all virtues. Recognize everyone has weaknesses, including you, so be patient with others. Be teachable and open to correction and new ideas. Maintain an attitude of gratitude.
5. Finish well. Work to build your character and maintain high ethical standards every day of your life.
Pay more attention to your character than to your success, because personal growth is more than expanding your mind and increasing your skills. It’s increasing your capacity as a human being. It means maintaining core integrity, even when it hurts. It means being who you should be, not just being where you want to be. It means maturing your soul.

Steve DiChiaroExecutive Vice President and Chief Agency Officer
Freedom is a mighty big word … According to the English Oxford Dictionary, freedom is ‘the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants.’ That’s a powerful statement. But I take freedom a step further. I believe freedom is the opportunity available to each of us that results from having that power or right. For some, it may be the opportunity to breathe clean air and drink clean water. For some, it may be the opportunity to sleep at night without fear for their life or their family’s life. For others, it may be the opportunity to go to college or to worship as they choose and where they choose. Or it may be the opportunity to vote without fear of retaliation from a dictatorial government.
Freedom is a blessing you have enjoyed for most of your life, especially if you grew up in the United States. In addition to the wonderful freedoms you enjoy here, you also have been blessed with the freedom to accept the Opportunity of a Lifetime from Liberty National. You have the freedom to live your life the way you want to live it. You have the freedom to have what you want for your families. You have the freedom to choose to be as successful as you want to be. You have the freedom to create a life for yourself and your family that is beyond your wildest dreams. NOW, THAT’S FREEDOM!
You have the freedom to create a life for yourself and your family that is beyond your wildest dreams.But the flip side of the coin is you also have the freedom to fail … to not achieve, to not accomplish, to not be the person you are capable of being. How do you prevent that from happening? What can you do to stay on the positive side of freedom … to live the life you are meant to live? BELIEVE in yourself and your abilities! Face it; selling is not some mysterious process known only to a select few. You all have the potential to be successful at Liberty National, but you must be willing to do what it takes to get there.
Product knowledge and training are important, because you obviously need to know the ‘mechanics’ of what you’re selling. Yet, belief in the value of our products and understanding how they can help your customer is just as important. Belief in the ability of your leadership team to guide you is also critical. But most of all, you must believe in yourself.
I read something the other day, which made a lot of sense to me. Here’s the gist of it: no matter how good a salesperson you are, no matter how knowledgeable and product-savvy you are, no matter how talented you are at face-to-face presentations, there will be days you get up and things aren’t the way you want them to be. Instead of getting frustrated, tell yourself things will get better … and really BELIEVE it deep down inside. There are times when people disappoint you and let you down. There are always challenges to face and changes you must make periodically. Those are times you must trust your own judgment to keep your life focused on believing in yourself.
You have the freedom to choose how you live your life and manage your career. Whatever you do, always keep yourself headed in the right direction … for you. It may not always be an easy direction, but in times of struggle, it will give you a stronger sense of who you are. When days are filled with frustration and unexpected responsibilities, remember what you want your life to be. Use that frustration as a catalyst to help you become better, to help you move forward in your life. You’ve heard the expression, ‘No pain, no gain’? It’s true. All the positives in your life need to be balanced by a few negatives for you to fully appreciate the positives. Consider roadblocks you run across from time to time as opportunities for growth and development. Face up to them and move beyond them. I BELIEVE there is nothing to stop you!
