One of the challenges of traveling in my type of business is concern about illness on the road. This was brought home to me this past weekend when one of my dear friends, Tony, fell ill far away from home. Thankfully, his wife was with him. Turned out he needed multiple heart bypass surgery. Mercifully, the surgery went well and we are all praying for a full and complete recovery.
I want to share an option we have that I think warrants your attention. It's called "MedJet". The website is http://www.medjetassistance.com. Go there and become a member. If you fall ill when away from home, they will get you home via private jet if it is necessary. The cost is small when you think about the important benefits you receive.
Most of us think that nothing will happen to us. I thought that too - until 2004 when I spent 8 long weeks in the hospital. (I was afraid my insurance company was going to try and come "in the night" and put a pillow over my head!)
Thankfully, my mastermind group was able to come in and take care of my business. We had reviewed where each of us kept calendars, files, etc. in case of an emergency after 9-11 happened. I'm happy we did. Because of my masterminders, my business survived. Will yours?
Make sure you have a survival plan in case of emergency. Stuff happens. I know. So does my insurance company.
Great Blog Lois!!! Congratulations!!!
I've belonged to this service for a good while. I have a few speaker buddies who do too. The peace of mind I have for the cost is a great return on my investment, because like everyone else, I never plan on using them!
