Claim Your Money Now: Lapse Insurance Policy or Utility Deposit… Do This Now!

BNM, I feel like Santa Claus bringing you joy and love … Have you forgotten about the insurance policy that lapse or the utility deposit you never CLAIMED?

There is nothing like finding “lost money” waiting for you to verify/claim and possibly give you some extra cushion for your your FAB branding/marketing campaign.

Unclaimed funds are lapse insurance policies, utility deposits, for your protection, banks, insurance companies, utilities, investment companies and many other businesses are required by State law to surrender inactive accounts to the State. These accounts are known as “lost,” “abandoned,” or “unclaimed” funds.

If you ever lived or currently reside in New York State there is over $10.5 billion in unclaimed funds and a possible check with your name.

Claim your money now and good luck!

Thank you so much for sending your questions — I appreciate your trust. Keep them coming!

Q:
I need help!

I just opened my wellness centre on March 21 – first day of spring no coincidence – only to discover NO CLIENTS!!!

My belief was the surrounding businesses (directly behind me with 200 staff; large media company with 1000 staff; IT with at least several hundred) and residential population with a mean income of $150,000.00, on a very busy main artery road, couldn’t go wrong. Continue reading

Mentorship, Sisterhood & Cookie Johnson Talks Booty Jeans

Cookie Johnson & Coach Beverly Kearney

Does everyone need a mentor? Yes.

A mentor can be especially helpful for women who have the two-fold challenge of navigating the sexism of the business world while still maintaining a home and children. Choosing the right mentor will help maintain sanity as you climb the ladder. Continue reading
