Case Study: The Power of Persistence—Why the Hardest Wins Matter Most
Priyanka Shah
I help Australian families protect everything they are working hard to build: ? Your family’s financial security ? Your home ? Your lifestyle If any or all of these matter to you, let’s talk????
There’s a strange irony in life—when something is repeatedly denied to us, its value increases. The harder it is to obtain, the more precious it becomes. And when we finally achieve it? The sense of relief, security, and fulfillment is unmatched.
That was the reality for one of my recent clients, who had spent nearly 20 years trying—and failing—to secure full insurance coverage due to his history of epilepsy. He had applied to insurers across the country, only to face rejection after rejection. Each refusal chipped away at his hope, reinforcing the idea that comprehensive coverage was simply out of reach for someone like him.
The only options available came with significant exclusions, special conditions, and restrictions that left major gaps in his protection. Despite the fact that his health had improved, the insurance industry continued to view him through the outdated lens of his past, refusing to acknowledge his progress.
After years of frustration, he was referred to me by a friend. He was skeptical—understandably so—but willing to try one last time. And that’s when everything changed.
Taking the Right Action at the Right Time
I approached his case differently. Instead of accepting prior decisions at face value, I reassessed everything—his past medical history, his current condition, and all the progress he had made over the years. I re-engaged with insurers, challenging the assumptions that had led to his repeated denials. I advocated relentlessly on his behalf, ensuring that his application was reviewed accurately, fairly, and in line with his current health status.
And in the end, we succeeded.
For the first time in nearly two decades, my client secured a full insurance policy with NO exclusions, NO special conditions, and NO restrictions.
The moment he received confirmation, his entire outlook shifted. What once felt impossible had become reality. The peace of mind that had been withheld from him for so long was finally his.
A Lesson for Everyone: Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late
This case is a powerful reminder that what we struggle to obtain is often what we need most. And when it comes to protecting yourself and your family, waiting isn’t an option.
Too often, people put off reviewing their insurance until it’s too late—until a health event occurs, until circumstances change, or until they realize the policy they thought would protect them doesn’t actually cover what they need. By then, the options are limited, and the stakes are much higher.
That’s why I always stress: take action now.
?? If you’ve been declined in the past, don’t assume that’s the final answer. The right strategy and advocacy can make all the difference.
?? If your health has improved, make sure your insurance reflects that. Don’t let outdated assessments dictate your future.
?? If you haven’t reviewed your coverage in a while, do it now—before circumstances change and your options become more limited.
Your family’s financial security is too important to leave to chance. Make sure you have the right coverage, at the right time, with the right professional guiding you. If you’re unsure whether your current insurance truly protects you, let’s talk. Because when it comes to peace of mind, there’s nothing more valuable than knowing you’re covered—fully, properly, and without compromise.
