I do not work for any company—I work with my clients’ best interests at heart. I have been involved in over 30 businesses in 45 years, most often as owner and entrepreneur. I’ve learned how important realistic planning is. I became a professional mentor because I realized just how much people can benefit from my experiences—business and personal. I write to teach. I sell insurance to make a living, and to make sure people get the right products for themselves. I mentor people to help them better develop their business skills and acumen. But most importantly, I mentor and advise people to help them draw out the best in themselves, so they can succeed, think independently, and make good choices.Other books by Louis Berlin:The Financial Fitne$$ Handbook: Making Your Money Outlast You (2011)Financial Fitness for Everyone: Important Knowledge for Acquiring Peace of Mind and Crucial Advice About Your Financial Future (2016)
