Spot On Insurance Welcomes Laura Adams

When Arleen and I started Insurance Licensing Services of America (ILSA), we promised ourselves that we would not borrow money to finance its start-up or growth. That resolution saved the company more than once when the economy took a downturn! Many of our SOI listeners are also entrepreneurs, so we want to provide you with the tools you need to escape the burden of debt. Enter Laura Adams, the Money Girl.

Laura is a sought-after personal finance and small business expert and educator. She has completed over 2,000 interviews with top national media outlets as well as having articles published in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Forbes, among others. She is the writer and host of the top-rated weekly podcast, Money Girl. Laura is also the author of 9 books, including Debt-Free Blueprint and her latest, Money-Smart Soloprenuer: A Personal Finance System for Freelancers, Entrepreneurs, and Side-Hustlers.

Lots of people don’t like dealing with money; it stresses them out. For many of them, the source of that discomfort is a lack of education. Sadly, financial literacy isn’t a subject that gets much attention at any level of our educational system. That’s why finding mentors to help you learn to use money effectively is essential. We also discuss how personal finance plays into insurance. (Laura’s tip: Actively manage your insurance coverage the way you manage credit or investments.) Smart money management is especially important for entrepreneurs and freelancers. While the gig economy offers tremendous freedom and opportunity, it does mean that securing your financial future is up to you.
